"endurox r4" news and stories

A study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism revealed that chocolate milk is at least as good as popular sports drinks for helping the body recover after exercise. As Nick pointed out, athletes who drank the chocolate milk and the Gatorade performed equally well when asked to exercise again. Athletes who drank Endurox R4, a sports drink with protein added in the same ratio as milk, only performed half as well, indicating that perhaps some property of milk - say, the chocolate - might be helping the performance of the athletes as well.

Could it be the antioxidants in the chocolate that are helping? An 8-ounce glass of low-fat chocolate milk will have about 200 calories and 3 grams of fat, while an 8-ounce glass of Gatorade has only 55 calories. Though some people worry about the seemingly high number of calories in the milk, the extra calories are not only healthy, but can provide extra energy to athletes in the long run.
