Why I use Prolong Energy

by Ryan Weeger

Well actually these arent really the reason I use Prolong, but these are damn good cycling ad/commercials. Anyways, I have tried a good amount of the energy drinks out there and this one really does top the list for me. I emailed them back in February and asked if they had a couple samples they might be able to send me after James told me he liked his samples. Well I tried both the Lemon and the Blueberry flavors and both are really nice.

-Has a nice clean taste, light flavor, easy to take down.

-Good clean feeling energy and no quick ups, feels constant

-No stomach distress/GI stuff/or cramping at all.

I have used the stuff for all my endurance racing and long training days this year, and I have never had any issues and the stuff does make me feel great.  Anyways, I thought I would share some of these funny commercials I found after seeing one on Facebook.

    Allison-
    I’m not a big fan of the soy, mostly based on what James has taught me about it. But this stuff is what really works for me, and I will suck it up with the soy cause its not like I am using this stuff all the time. I don’t want man boobs!

    “The OPTIMIZED SOY AMINO ACID PROFILE was created specifically for use during endurance exercise. The amino acid profile of soy isolate is superior to other protein sources during exercise since it minimizes urea production and muscle breakdown during workouts and races.”

    during exercise is the only time is the only time i consume soy. like ryan wrote above soy’s profile is actually better vs. whey when consuming during workouts.

    check out the protein section of the this hammer article… they have the best research out there.

    PS – Hammer Nutrition “research’ is pretty bogus. Just thought I would add that in there. They created their own ‘fake’ journal called the “Journal of Endurance” which drives me nuts when people cite that as a reference. Talk about a circular argument.
