The difference between winning and losing is usually only a ½ step on your opponent. In the 4th quarter that ½ step can be the difference between a first down or game over. When the game is on the line, do you want to win by ½ a step or lose? It is up to you!
First things first…
HyLytes are NSF “Certified for Sport”. That means HyLytes have been tested for banned substances and are certified CLEAN and compliant with the anti-doping policies of ALL SPORTS. So use HyLytes with confidence and know that the record you set and the championship you win will not have an asterisk.
Take HyLytes electrolyte capsules with water to help you better withstand the heat and your coaches. With HyLytes, you will be better hydrated and therefore you will have MORE ENERGY to get you through the day, without the sugar or caffeine of sports drinks and energy drinks.
How do HyLytes (electrolytes) work? Electrolytes are like water optimizers, they make sure the water you drink gets out of your stomach to where it is needed in your body, and if you are properly hydrated (with water and HyLytes) you will have more ENERGY to play your best in the 2nd half.
Nutrition/Hydration is NOT one-size-fits-all, and electrolytes in a capsule will work for all players, whether you are a 180 lb. defensive back, or a 300 lb. lineman. If you are the average size athlete, take one capsule per hour while on the field, if you are bigger then start with two capsules per hour. Consider the factors (the heat on the field and the level of intensity you are playing); you know your own body and you know what you need to do to maximize output, in the heat you may need to take two capsules or more per hour. With electrolyte capsules you can tailor intake based on YOUR individual needs, and HyLytes will make a difference in your game and the way you feel and perform on the field. Don’t forget, the more water you drink, the more electrolytes you need.
*******************
Have you ever had that bloated feeling after drinking a sports drink or water, making it difficult to move around the field? That bloated feeling is a result of lack of electrolytes and usually happens during the 2nd half. Electrolytes make sure the water you drink gets out of your stomach and into your body. If that fluid is stuck in your stomach…TWO things happen:
- You cannot run or move around the field as well as you could in first quarter; and
- The water is stuck in your stomach and not getting to your muscles, therefore you get dehydrated, and you get tired faster…and that means you will not be playing your best.
You may be thinking…“I drink XYZ-ADE (insert your favorite sports drink here) so I get all the electrolytes I need.” Unfortunately…that is not quite accurate. What you are getting is a little bit of sodium (an electrolyte) and a little bit of potassium (another electrolyte) and a whole lot of sugar (not an electrolyte and not good for you). You are missing other essential electrolytes (calcium and magnesium) that will help you to play to the best of your ability. An insufficient supply of electrolytes is like putting your team on the field with one or two players short, which means you are setting yourself up for failure.
As John Wooden said: “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.”
Every time you step on the field have nutrition and hydration plan that includes HyLytes. It is the easiest good thing you can do for yourself and your game.
Practice and Game Day Nutrition:
What you put in your body pre-game often dictates 1st half performance. What you put in your body during the 1st half of the game and at half time dictates 2nd half performance. If you are loading up on sugar filled sports drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup (the cheapest form of processed sugar you can get), then you are not preparing yourself to play to the best of your ability in the 2nd half. You worked too hard preparing for game day, don’t settle for an inferior sports drink that is short on electrolytes and long on sugar; give your body what it needs to outperform…HyLytes with water for proper hydration means enhanced endurance…a.k.a. ENERGY in the 2nd half.
Why should you use HyLytes today?
- More ENERGY…With HyLytes, you will be better hydrated and therefore you will have MORE ENERGY to get you through the game and outperform in the 4th quarter.
- Proper hydration with HyLytes will prevent dehydration, and that means you will be more ENERGIZED and more FOCUSED and less likely to make careless and costly mistakes when the game is on the line. Be aware of your hydration plan, have more ENERGY later in the game, and be better than you opponent.
- Prevent muscle cramps.
- Unlike sports drinks that contain a finite supply of electrolytes in every sugar filled bottle, HyLytes in capsule form will work for all players based on individual needs.
- Post game (or practice or work-out)…Take two HyLytes capsules with a bottle of water and re-hydrate and recover more effectively, so you will be strong and ready for practice and your next opponent.
Smart athletes use HyLytes and WIN on game day! Are you a SMART athlete?
