Ultima Replenisher is a re-hydration sports drink which contains no sugars,
artificial sweeteners or other artificial ingredients and contains only 35
to 40 calories per 20 ounce serving. The Ultima Replenisher formula, consisting
of 30 essential minerals, electrolytes, vitamins, antioxidants, and complex
carbohydrates, was designed and tested to optimize: 1) the rapid absorption
of fluids and nutrients, 2) the supply of sustainable energy, and 3) recovery
from exertion. Our product is designed to appeal to the health conscious consumer
and committed athlete at all levels of sport.
We offer two convenient forms of packaging: a new 21 serving (20 oz per
serving) container (with scoop) and our traditional box containing 32 individual
packets (20 oz per serving). Our customers love the portability of our packets
which allow them to throw a couple into their bags and knapsacks.
Ester C
Ester C is a naturally chelated (combined with a metallic ion to form a
chelate, a substance absorbed better by the small intestine) mineral form
of vitamin C. Ester C is absorbed fast and is pH balanced so that it will
not to upset the stomach. White blood cell ascorbate levels are four times
greater with ester C compared to the typical vitamin C. Ester C also enters
the bloodstream and tissues four times faster than typical vitamin C. Essential
to the formation of collagen, vitamin C protects against bruising, promotes
the healing of wounds and the production of anti-stress hormones. It is an
anti-oxidant required for tissue growth and repair, and adrenal gland function.
Ester C protects against infection and against the harmful effects of pollution,
and it may play a role in preventing cancer. It also aids in interferon production
and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.
Coenzyme Q 10
Coenzyme Q 10 is a vitamin-like substance resembling vitamin E that researchers
think may be a more powerful anti-oxidant. Coenzyme Q 10 declines with age
and, therefore, supplementation is required to maintain optimum levels. Coenzyme
Q 10 is a critical fuel used by every cell in the body but it is particularly
important to the heart muscle. Research has revealed that Coenzyme Q 10 benefits
the immune system and mental function, while inhibiting allergies and asthma.
Pantothenic Acid
Also called pantothenate, pantothenic acid belongs to the B complex of water-soluble
vitamins that have multiple roles in energy metabolism. It forms part of the
important coenzyme A and part of the protein found in the enzyme fatty acid
synthetase. It is necessary for the production of glucose and fatty acids,
the main fuels of the body. It is also essential for making steroid hormones
and brain neurotransmitters.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide aids the function of the nervous system, promotes metabolism
of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, and the production of hydrochloric acid
used by the digestive system. Niacinamide is essential to proper blood circulation.
Choline
Choline is a constituent in phosphatidyl choline, which is essential to
cell membranes. It is also called a methyl donor in energy metabolism. In
the brain, choline forms part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, intimately
involved in anabolic drive and in memory.
Inositol
Inositol helps to prevent hardening of the arteries, is important in the
formation of lecithin, and the removal of fat from the liver. Inositol helps
metabolize cholesterol.
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 affects energy because it is important for carbohydrate metabolism.
It enhances circulation and assists in the production of blood and hydrochloric
acid. Vitamin B1 is needed for normal muscle tone of the intestines, stomach,
and heart.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps
muscle cell mitochondria produce energy. It is necessary for red blood cell
formation, antibody production, cell respiration, and growth. Vitamin B2 also
facilitates oxygen use throughout the body.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is involved in more bodily functions than any other single nutrient.
It affects both physical and mental health. This vitamin is necessary in the
production of hydrochloric acid and in the absorption of fats and protein.
It also aids in maintaining sodium and potassium balance, and promotes red
blood cell formation. Vitamin B6 activates many enzymes, aids in B12 absorption,
aids immune system function, and anti-body production. It inhibits the formation
of a toxic chemical called homocysteine, which attacks the heart muscle and
allows the deposition of cholesterol around the heart muscle.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is needed to prevent anemia. It aids in cell formation and cellular
longevity. This vitamin is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods,
protein synthesis, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
Folic Acid
Considered brain food, folic acid is needed for energy production and the
formation of red blood cells. Functioning as a coenzyme in DNA synthesis,
it is important for healthy cell division and replication, especially the
rapid replication of muscle and blood cells needed for performance and recovery.
Biotin
Biotin aids in cell growth, in fatty acid production, in metabolism of carbohydrates,
fats, and proteins, and in the utilization of B-complex vitamins. Biotin forms
part of two enzymes essential for glucose and fatty acid synthesis.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that digests uniformly to supply
energy consistently to the body over time without creating a “yo-yo” effect
common with the digestion of simple sugars.
Potassium Citrate
Potassium Citrate is important for chemical reactions within the cells.
This mineral aids in maintaining stable blood pressure and in transmitting
electrochemical impulses. It also regulates the transfer of nutrients to
the cells. Potassium Citrate is important for a healthy nervous system and
a regular heart rhythm. It aids in proper muscle contractions and works with
sodium to control the body's water balance.
Phyto-Blend
Phyto-Blend is an antioxidant blend containing pine bark extract, grape
seed extract, bilberry extract and grape skin extract. Phyto-Blend enhances
immunity and protects against the detrimental effects of pollution and the
formation the cancer. Research has documented the ability of antioxidants
to neutralize free radicals created by exercise.
Lo Han Guo
Lo Han Guo contains a natural sweetening agent called Mogroside, which is
derived from the Lo Han Guo fruit and processed into a fine powder. This extract
is easily soluble in water without any sediment. It is a stable, non-fermentable
extract which is ideal for diabetics.
Stevia
Stevia is a natural plant extract considered to have a beneficial effect
in controlling blood sugar levels.
Natural Flavor and Natural Color
Ultima Replenisher uses only natural flavors and colors.
Sugar Matters
Not only is the inclusion of certain ingredients important to the formula’s
success but the exclusion of sugar, abundant in competitive formulas, is just
as important. The consumption of large amounts of simple sugar actually diminishes
athletic performance. Sugar can cause what physiologists call the “yo-yo
effect.” This refers to the dramatic rise in blood sugar levels shortly after
sugar consumption, followed by a steep decline in blood sugar to a level
below where it was before consumption occurred. It is at this point that
athletic performance flattens or crashes.
Instead, Ultima Replenisher provides easily digested complex carbohydrate
energy. Complex carbohydrates provide a longer lasting, smoother delivery
of energy compared to sugar. Complex carbohydrates do not interfere with the
body’s conversion of fat to energy during periods of endurance and high performance.
Ultima Replenisher contains only complex carbohydrate energy to eliminate
the risk of high and low sugar levels that detract from performance.
Ultima Replenisher is rapidly digested and passes quickly to the small intestine
for absorption, typically in less than 20 minutes. The digestion of sugar
(along with thickeners, and other no essential ingredients) can take up to
45 minutes. When simple sugar is consumed, the pancreas produces insulin to
digest it. When the insulin is introduced, the liver becomes occupied breaking
down the insulin and therefore is not available to convert fat to glycogen
for the muscles to burn, a function essential to performance during training
or competition. This is why the consumption of simple sugar before or during
training or competition can prove detrimental to athletic performance.
