Energy and Fitness

How do Herbalifes Energy and Fitness drinks promote endurance?
Natural caffeine promotes the bodys release of fat from its fat cells. This release of fat spares the body from using all its carbohydrate stores too rapidly. The carbohydrates are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. By helping teh body use fat, the caffeine in Liftoff effervescent energy drink increases the amount of time that the body can sustain intense exercise.


Professional cyclists and runners sometimes use caffeinated sports drinks like Liftoff before a race. How does caffeine benefit performance?

Caffeine improves performance in prolonged events such as cycling and running by increasing the amount of fat released by the fat cells to be burned as energy. In fact, during a marathon, the majority of energy used comes from body fat.



How does NRG Natures Raw Guarana influence energy?

This natural source of caffeine works to increase mental alertness and improve overall energy to help get you through the low points of your day. The National Academy of Sciences increased its recommendation for the amount of time that individuals should spend on vigorous exercise every day from 30 minutes to one hour. Sport nutrition supplements from Herbalife can help maintain exercise and energy for more prolonged periods.
