Replenish Overdrive 700g Berry Good

Replenish Overdrive is designed to provide a balance of hydration and energy. It attends to the needs of athletes who rely on short bursts of power as well as endurance energy, Replenish Overdrive is designed to provide energy for the “second-half”.

Isn’t this what the original Replenish does?

In most instances, yes! But nothing stands still, and we are always looking for improvement, and felt that a change in the carbohydrate profile would allow energy to enter the body over a longer period of time, hence extending endurance energy.

What do you mean by carbohydrate profile?

The total amount of carbohydrate is very similar in both products but the actual type and combination of carbohydrate has been modified in the Replenish Overdrive. Remember that Maltodextrin is an umbrella term for many different types of carbohydrate, all having different properties.

We believe this combination of carbohydrates will assist fluid transport even more, still delivering carbohydrate in a 5%-6% concentration, but designed for efficient entry into the body. There is a fine balance between effective re-hydration, energy delivery, gastric emptying time and the restoring of blood glucose levels, all this without causing any gastric upset.

What are the other differences?

We are happy with the higher sodium levels as well as the other electrolytes as in the original Replenish, but added glutamine to perhaps assist muscle recovery and a small amount of caffeine to give the edge.

The phosphorus levels are higher?

We did push up the phosphorus level, as phosphates help raise the body’s production of ATP, while increasing oxygen transport in blood and acting as a major buffer in muscle tissue.

Why caffeine?

There are numerous articles on the benefits of caffeine and performance, and it’s safe to use. Caffeine may make an athlete feel more “energized”. The caffeine level in Replenish Overdrive is small enough to give this energizing effect without causing light-headedness or having a diuretic effect. We have included a warning on the label and would rather younger athletes continue to use the original Replenish.

Is there a reason for including vitamins?

Vitamin C is included at 120% RDA, but we prefer athletes to take a comprehensive multivitamin/ antioxidant formulation as in the Supalife. This formulation has the added benefit of good folic acid and B12 levels to support cardiac health.

And herbs, such as Ginseng?

As for herbs, the whole idea is to give the body exactly what it needs and nothing extra that may require additional metabolism effort from the system. It’s also a matter of dosage…. Most often it’s not possible to include a dosage high enough to make a difference. This is a waste of money.

As with our other products, the Replenish Overdrive was formulated in collaboration with the CSIR, to offer a product of quality, with no hyped-up claims, and one that will withstand the test of time!

Customer Reviews:

Works for me (adult male, 60 year old! I use a slightly weaker mix than the recommended dosage and it hasn't affected the efficacy! Use one bottle an
hour for the first two hours then the GT gel with plain water thereafter. Add a Powerbar to get rid of that hollow feeling. Michael
