First Endurance Multi-V
90 Tablets
Nutrition Blend That's Clinically Proven To Enhance
Endurance!
Multi-V™ is the first multinutrient vitamin that's clinically proven to enhance
endurance The nutrients in Multi-V have been shown to effectively protect
athletes from the stresses of exercise and to improve
endurance(1,2,3,4,8,11,12,13). Multi-V is the only multivitamin that contains
Carbogen®, a patented enzyme blend that's been shown in clinical studies to
improve carbohydrate utilization and increase time to exhaustion significantly
(1).
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT
Multi-V is unlike any other
multivitamin available. This unparalleled formulation contains a number of
special ingredients (besides vitamins and minerals) that address the unique
requirements of endurance athletes. In addition to having the highest-quality,
most bio-available vitamins and chelated minerals available, this special
endurance formula delivers clinically effective doses of Enzymes, Iron, Green
Tea, Ginkgo Biloba and Omega-3 Fatty Acids (2,10,11). Multi-V is also formulated
with Ferrochel Iron- a highly bioavailable source of Iron which is non-toxic and
does not affect the absorption of minerals, like other Iron sources do
(4,5,9,10).
PATENTED ENZYME BLEND
Multi-V is the only multivitamin
that contains a patented enzyme blend called Carbogen. You won't find Carbogen
in any other endurance products. First Endurance has the sole license for
Carbogen in the endurance market. Clinical studies on elite cyclists showed
Carbogen breaks down multi-chain carbohydrates into simple glucose. This is
important for endurance athletes because glucose is readily accessible and
useable for working muscles. What's really unique about Carbogen is that even
with this fast breakdown of carbohydrates, there is no affect on insulin. With
no insulin spike, your blood sugar remains elevated for many hours so it can
fuel working muscles and improve performance. A summary of the Clinical Study is
found below:
23% increase in blood glucose levels during high intensity exercise
Sustained increase in blood glucose levels for 5 hours
Significant decrease in the accumulation of blood lactate (58% average)
43% increase in time to exhaustion
Decreased rate of perceived exertion (RPE).
ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION THAT'S SECOND TO
NONE
The antioxidant profile in Multi-V is also unequaled. ORAC-Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity testing is recognized as the "Gold Standard" for
measuring antioxidant protection against oxidative damage (6,7). Multi-V is one
of the first products to utilize this important technology to ensure superior
antioxidant protection. This new testing method allows nutrients to be qualified
in their antioxidant capacity with a number. Multi-V contains some of the
highest tested nutrients found with ORAC values of 8,000 units or more and
guarantees this with analytical tests. Multi-V contains an antioxidant support
blend that includes Bioflavanoids, Turmeric extract, Grape Seed extract and
Alpha Lipoic Acid.(3) These antioxidants are widely considered to be the best
antioxidants available. This is one of the many ways Multi-V helps protect
endurance athletes from the stresses and demands of everyday training and
racing.
