Over 85% of all studies focusing onthe use of caffeine among athletes demonstrate that caffeine offerssignificant advantages. In controlled amounts, caffeine stimulates thecentral nervous system, increases the release of adrenaline, and aids inthe use of body fat as a fuel. The 35 mg of caffeine in each sachet ofEnergy Gel Plus is equal to about 2/3 cup of coffee.Nerves cause muscles to contract by pushing small quantities of achemical called acetylcholine across the neuromuscular space between themuscle and the nerve. Should you run out of acetylcholine then yourmuscles will not be able to contract no matter how much energy you haveleft.During prolonged exercise Acetylcholine is broken down inside theneuromuscular junctions. Nerve cells then "grab" the Choline floating byin the blood, using it to make new acetylcholine and as a result, yourblood Choline levels start decreasing. Naturally, if your exerciseperiod goes on long enough, such as training for and competing in amarathon, your body's Choline levels will fall too low and acetylcholineproduction will come to a standstill and your nerve cells will simplyrefuse to stimulate your muscles resulting in you coming to a virtualstandstill.Choline is available in foods such as: liver, cauliflower, soybeans,spinach, lettuce, nuts, and eggs. However, the bottom line is that even anatural diet made up of Choline rich foods would not prevent the dropin blood Choline levels which happen after 12 miles or so of marathonrunning or any exercise period lasting more than 90 minutes.Therefore to maintain your body's supply of Choline each sachet ofHigh5 Energy Gel Plus contains 35mg of Choline which, when taken every 5miles or so will provide you with enough Choline to keep you going tothe finish at your target pace.EnergyGel Plus Flavours: Orange in easy to open 38-gram foil sachets.EnergyGel Consumer Advantages:1.
