TriCentral Ltd has been given the rights to distribute Accel Gel, Accelerade & Endurox powders, some of the US’s leading sports nutrition brands containing the patented 4:1 ratio in the UK. Accelerade is endorsed and used by Dave Scott, the six time World Ironman Champion along with, Desiree Ficker, and Dean Karnazes.

In 1997, six of the USA’s top exercise physiologists convened with the goal of developing the next generation of sports drinks. Out of this symposium came Accelerade - the first sports drink to contain carbohydrates in combination with protein in a patented 4:1 ratio. That's a ratio that research has shown is ideal, the studies can be ready here. The right amount of protein in relation to carbohydrate is what's important. Too much, and it can't be processed by the body. Too little, and it won't work like it needs to. These brands are about optimal performance based on extensive research.

Accelerade was the first sports drink to contain the extensively researched and patented 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio in the USA. Like conventional sports drinks, Accelerade supplies the necessary carbohydrates and electrolytes for rehydrating and replenishing muscle reserves. But unlike conventional sports drinks, Accelerade contains the patented 4 to 1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed the movement of carbohydrate into the muscle.

Studies show that, compared to a conventional sports drink, Accelerade:

• extends endurance by 29%
• speeds muscle recovery up to 40% in a subsequent workout
• reduces muscle damage up to 83%

Accelerade also contains essential antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage. Accelerade lets you train longer and harder, and you'll feel less sore afterwards. Accelerade is available in ready- to-mix powder and gels in a variety of flavours.

Jason Ash, President and Chief Operating Officer of PacificHealth Laboratories, said, "We are truly excited by Tri-Central's formal launch of both the Accelerade & Endurox R4 powders and Accel Gel in the UK and look forward to supporting the growing multi sport and sports nutrition agenda in GB".
