GNC's Advanced Post-Workout Drinks

Science suggests that the window immediately following a workout may be the most important time to feed the body nutrients - which may be sweated out as the body attempts to cool itself during intense exercise - that will help it become bigger, leaner, and better. General Nutrition Center’s (GNC) Pro Performance Distance is a thirst-quenching formula featuring a special ration of carbohydrates, proteins and nutrients that aid in hydration and replenish glycogen and protein stores.

The patented formula in Distance is designed to provide ingredients to aid rehydration, support glycogen resynthesis, and regenerate ATP production. The addition of d-Ribose to the blend of electrolytes, whey protein and carbohydrates, may help to restore ATP, which is used by the muscles to help contraction and is often lost during intense exercise. The replenishment of ATP may cut recovery time and aid in workout performance by supplying more energy to the muscles.

• Featuring d-Ribose, Glutamine, and B-vitamins
• A precise blend of electrolytes, whey protein, and carbohydrates
