New Sports Drink with Wellmune Supports Immune Health and Athletic Endurance
23 Jun 2016 --- US sports nutrition manufacturer Optimum Nutrition (ON) has launched Gold Standard BCAA Train + Recover, a new line of intra-workout drink mixes formulated with 250 mg of Wellmune – a natural ingredient clinically proven to help strengthen the immune system.
“This product is the new Gold Standard for Intra-Workout support,” said Sean Hartley, Sr. ABM of Optimum Nutrition.
“With BCAAs for muscle support and Rhodiola for endurance support, Wellmune was added to our BCAA Train + Recover formula due to the strong science behind the ingredient. The immune support of Wellmune can help athletes stay healthy, so they can train more effectively.”
The immune benefits of Wellmune are backed by numerous clinical studies with marathoners, cyclists and others enduring high physical stress. Wellmune was shown to improve overall physical health after intense periods of exercise and also reduced the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection systems that commonly affect endurance and high-performance athletes.
“Intensive exercise can weaken the immune system, creating an
‘open window’ effect with the body’s immune defenses,” said Donald Cox, Ph.D. Senior Vice President R&D for Wellmune.
