Extensive research and development has resulted in a science-based isotonic sports drink which offers more than other leading isotonic drinks available to consumers. Here are the key ingredients in Herbalife H3O Pro™ and why they are important in an isotonic drink:

Source of sugar which forms the carbs in the drink: Isomaltulose: Isomaltulose is a naturally derived source of sugar that acts as the key carbohydrate in H3O Pro™, providing immediate and sustained energy to prevent unwanted performance dips - it will not create a quick spike and crash energy as some sports drinks do which contain glucose syrup/ maltodextrin instead of Isomaltulose

Key electrolyte: 140mg potassium: H3O Pro™ is over 3 times higher in potassium than leading competitors. Potassium is essential for water and electrolyte balance throughout the body and helps support muscle function.

Calcium (120mg) and Magnesium (50mg): H3O Pro™ is 12 times higher in calcium than leading brands and it also contains magnesium, unlike leading brands. Calcium is essential for bone health and combination of both calcium and magnesium is great for muscle function especially for muscle cramps during and after excercise.

Contains 15% RDA of five energy releasing B-vitamins to help the body to absorb the nutrients in H3O Pro™ to power your performance.

H3O Pro™ is 12 x higher in calcium - essential for bone health and also contains magnesium. The combination of both magnesium and calcium are great for muscle function especially for muscle cramps during/after exercise.

H3O Pro™ contains key antioxidants vitamins C & E and mixed tocopherals - a powerful combination to help protect the body's tissues and immune system against the potentially damaging effects of free radicals often induced during exercise.

Let’s look at his specialist area first. An athlete’s diet must be high in carbohydrate, moderate in protein, low in fat, include sufficient vitamins and minerals, and plenty of fluid. This simple model, quoted by Broad, is one to which few would take exception. ‘However, as our understanding of the game in this country has improved, nutritionists have been able to tease out strategies from each of the model’s sub-sections that more closely match the requirements of our sport,’ he says.
