Diabetes and Wellness Give your body the clean, healthy fuel it craves. You'll Feel Great, enjoying consistent energy and endurance no matter how long you exercise. When you Fuel Right you also significantly reduce fatigue and post-workout recovery time. Because they lack the excess simple sugars found in most energy drinks, bars and gels, Hammer fuels are very well tolerated by diabetic athletes. This has led the Diabetes and Wellness Foundation to give us their seal of approval. If these products work this well for insulin challenged athletes, think how well they will work for you. Hammer Nutrition Endurance Fuels offer you a complete range of products for before, during, and after any exercise or competition. The new Hammer Bar, Recoverite, and protein products also cover you for snacks and meal replacement products. We never use refined, simple sugars, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. This eliminates the roller-coaster energy levels, stomach issues, and GI distress so common when fueling with sports drinks, gels, and bars that do contain these undesirable ingredients. Try any of our superior Hammer Fuels today and find out for yourself what it feels like to Fuel Right and Feel Great. 4 Call or go online today! 1.800.336.1977 / www.hammernutrition.com / Detailed usage instructions available online Hammer Nutrition Fuels Hammer Gel Hammer Gel Clean, long-burning energy • Consistent, reliable energy - no sugar crash • Easy to consume and assimilate, gentle on the stomach • Versatile and economical • Made with real fruit and wholesome ingredients For over a decade, Hammer Gel has been the benchmark of concentrated carbohydrate energy, primarily because of what it doesn’t contain—Hammer Gel has no added refined, simple sugars and artificial colors or sweeteners. Choose either single-serving pouches or the cost-effective jugs for even, reliable energy, not the “flash and crash” of sugar-loaded products. You get only what’s good for you: complex carbohydrates, natural ingredients, and real fruit. The result is a great tasting concentrated fuel source that goes down and digests easier than any other energy gel. Hammer Gel is versatile as well – you can drink it straight, add it to your water bottle, or combine it with Sustained Energy, HEED, and Perpeteum to create a variety of tasty energy combinations for any length activity, anywhere, anytime. $1.50 $18.95 $1.15 pouch $12.95 box New flavor! Tropical with 25mg caffeine per serving Real Athletes, Real Results! The single servings of Hammer Gel rule! They make getting through the races without stopping to load up so easy.

Sip continuously during exercise. • Light, non-sweet, non-syrupy taste • Smooth, even energy—no sugar spikes or crashes • Help protect against cramps • Buffer lactic acid • Low acid formula • Full spectrum electrolyte profile • Promote oral health, not tooth decay • Great value Sports drinks have been around a long time and for many athletes they're more convenient than energy gels. Unfortunately, most sports drinks are not much more than artificially colored sugar water that does little to aid your performance and even less for your health. That is why we developed HEED as a healthy alternative for you. HEED’s subtle tasting, all-complex carbohydrate formula goes down easily and supplies you with consistent, long-lasting energy and the electrolytes you need to keep pushing the pace. Because we add no citric acid to the formula, it will not burn your throat or stomach no matter how long you drink it. HEED's sweeteners - stevia and xylitol - are actually good for you, xylitol being especially beneficial for helping promote oral health. The full-spectrum, all chelated mineral, electrolyte profile helps satisfy your body’s mineral requirements. L-Carnosine and Chromium Polynicotinate help to buffer lactic acid and support stable blood glucose levels. If you prefer sport drinks over energy gels or like to use the two together, try HEED… and find out what a sports drink done right can do for your athletic performance. Real Athletes, Real Results! Whether it be the blistering speed of road criteriums and mountain bike short track races, or the relentless suffering of a 200km road races and mountain bike cross country sluggfests; HEED keeps me hydrat- ed and fueled so I can be sure I'm at my best. - Brent Bookwalter 2005 Collegiate Division II Road Omnium, Short Track MTB and Cyclocross Champion Brent Bookwalter out for a ride in his stars and stripes.

Photo / Kelly Glasscock $17.95 Endurolytes Also available in powder Banish cramping for good and other electrolyte related problems • Provide superior cramp prevention • Maintain muscle performance even in hottest weather conditions • Support optimal digestive, nervous, & cardiac system functioning • Low sodium formula complements a healthy, low-sodium diet • Readily usable minerals assimilate easily, no upset stomach Size & Price 120 capsules 3 or more 150 powder servings $17.95 $15.95 ea. $ 17.95 Directions Cramping is your body’s final warning signal that you’re “on empty” electrolyte wise. However, your performance is deteriorating and you are slowing down long before you feel the slightest twinge of a cramp. To keep your body’s muscular, digestive, nervous, and cardiac systems “firing on all cylinders” you need a consistent supply of all electrolytic minerals, not just sodium and potassium. Plus, in many instances, you require greater volumes of electrolytes than any sports drink or gel can provide. That is why Endurolytes fulfills such a crucial component of your fueling by supplying your body with a perfectly balanced, full-spectrum, rapidly assimilated electrolyte source, allowing you to meet your widely variable electrolyte needs with tremendous precision, hour after hour, no matter what the weather throws at you. • 1–3 capsules 30–60 minutes prior to exercise • 1–6 capsules each hour during exercise • 1–3 capsules after exercise Other Ingredients Vegetable Capsules (plant cellulose & water), Whey, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid Real Athletes, Real Results! Thanks a million for hooking us up with Endurolytes at the start of RAAM...I can't even imagine what we would have done without them.

Sustained Energy saved my ultrarunning. Now I have a plan I will stick to for the duration of a race which is my 100 ounce bladder full of Sustained Energy. I refill that every 5 hours and move on...no food at all. With this plan I stay nausea free and energized throughout the run. - Steve P. Extra Benefits This product is ideally suited for the athlete who wants calories with as little taste and sweetness as possible. Soy Protein ensures a minimum of ammonia being released into the muscles, further reducing fatigue and tissue damage. • Enjoy sustained energy hour after hour • Easy to digest, no stomach or GI issues • Reduce muscle fatigue and recovery time • Improve fat burning • Buffer lactic acid • Protein enhanced complex carbohydrate formula • Unflavored, neutral tasting One of the original long distance fuels, Sustained Energy has attained a legendary status in the world of endurance sports since it’s introduction in 1992. Tested and proven in virtually every endurance event on the planet, Sustained Energy’s unique 7:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, and it's neutral flavor, is still the first choice of thousands of athletes. After about two hours of exercise you need to have some protein in your fuel or you will start to “cannibalize” or break down precious muscle tissue. So when your exercise goes beyond the range of Hammer Gel or HEED alone, Sustained Energy is ready to serve you, providing premium fuel complemented with specific nutrients that support enhanced fat utilization and lactic acid buffering. Give Sustained Energy a try – you’ll have 100% confidence in your fuel – and you’ll understand why it’s been the choice of thousands of endurance athletes for well over a decade. For maximum fueling variety and flexibility during your longest and hardest training sessions and races, mix or alternate Sustained Energy with Hammer Gel, HEED and/or Perpetuem.

Everest with a backpack full of Hammer fuels $39.95 $21.95 $2.29 Size & Price Real Athletes, Real Results! I run ultras. One problem that always plagues me is upset stomach. After talking to someone at the company I decided to give Perpetuem a try. The first race I tried it in was a 50 miler. There were not many drop bags and I had no crew so I used a super concentration of it, and it worked. My energy level was even and I ran a solid race. Thanks! - Todd W. Single-serve packet $2.29 16-servings $ 32-servings 21.95 $39.95 Flavors Orange-Vanilla Plain (16-serving only) Ingredients Extra Benefits Carnosine, one of the ingredients in Perpetuem (it’s also in HEED, Sustained Energy, and Recoverite), is both a performance aid (a superb acid buffer) and a premium general health nutrient (multiple free-radical scavenging and anti-glycation antioxidant).

After years of dealing with next day soreness after a hard workout and thinking it was a "fact of life" I tried the Recoverite. After a training run of 28 miles I consumed two scoops in 12 ounces of water and another two scoops about an hour later. I woke up the next day and to my total surprise I had no muscle soreness. This stuff is incredible! - Richard B. Extra Benefits The amino acid glutamine, also contained in Hammer Whey, plays a vital role in the health of the muscles, immune system, and digestive tract. Glutamine is arguably the key "recovery amino" as it (A) helps boost the immune system (B) helps to reduce the symptoms of overtraining syndrome (C) plays a role in enhancing glycogen synthesis (D) stimulates muscle protein synthesis for the rebuilding of lean muscle tissue. • Minimize post-exercise muscle soreness • Optimize muscle recovery • Replenish depleted electrolytes • Restore muscle glycogen • Support immune system integrity • Pleasant tasting, not too sweet or thick • Excellent meal replacement drink How well you perform tomorrow depends on how well you recover today, which is why you can’t cut corners when it comes to your post-workout fueling. Recoverite supplies your body with the proper 3:1 ratio of complex carbohydrates and the highest quality whey protein isolate, along with generous amounts of multi-beneficial glutamine (a whopping 3 grams per serving!), the potent antioxidant l-carnosine, and a fullspectrum electrolyte profile. The result is rapid and enhanced recovery, which allows you to obtain the maximum value from all your hard workouts, ideally prepping your body for your next workout or race. Make sure you’re recovering right with Recoverite and remember, it makes a superb meal replacement drink as well. Train hard, recover right today and feel great tomorrow. Size & Price Single-serve packet $2.29 32-serving $ Shaker $ 44.95 4.95 Ingredients Maltodextrin, Whey Protein Isolate, L-Glutamine, Xylitol, Natural Flavor, White Stevia, Sodium Chloride, L-Carnosine, Glycine, Calcium Chelate, Magnesium Chelate, Potassium Chelate, L-Tyrosine, Vitamin B6, Manganese Chelate, ChromeMate® brand Chromium Polynicotinate Directions Photo / Matt Wingate Combine 2 scoops in 12-16 ounces of water. Consume one serving immediately after completion of your workout or event. 10 Steve, Skip and Bret made sure to recover right with Recoverite after the 136-mile Highline Hammer through Glacier National Park. Call or go online today! 1.800.336.1977 / www.hammernutrition.com / Detailed usage instructions available online Hammer Nutrition Fuels Whey Protein Hammer Whey Powerful protein • Protect lean muscle tissue • Superb immune system support • Minimize post-exercise muscular soreness • 6 grams of glutamine per serving Protein supplementation is absolutely essential for any hard-training athlete to maintain, repair, and grow lean muscle mass. Hammer Whey, ideal for supporting your immune system, as well as enhancing recovery between workouts and races, helps you obtain the full amount of protein you need daily. Whey is the most easily assimilated of all proteins and is packed with a tremendous amount of naturally occurring branched chain amino acids. Hammer Whey also contains high amounts of other recovery-specific amino acids and is glutamine fortified for immune system support. Hammer Whey is 100% whey protein isolate, not the usually found concentrate, so you get more actual protein per serving and less lactose and fat. Real Athletes, Real Results! Hammer Whey is ideal for maximizing recovery after workouts. The whey isolate proteins in Hammer Whey help to rebuild stressed muscle tissue. This helps my body to repair and be strong for the next training session. - Lois W. Lois Waite races to a 6th place age-group finish at the 2005 Powerman Alabama. Photo / www.brightroom.com Serious endurance athletes need protein far above the normal adult RDA, so make sure you always have Hammer Whey on hand. Size & Price 24-serving 4 or more $22.95 $22.95 $19.95 ea. Ingredients Whey Protein Isolate, Glutamine Extra Benefits Directions Contains only 100% undenatured (non-heated) whey isolate, which is virtually lactose & fat free but rich in immuneenhancing beta-lactoalbumins and alpha-lactalbumins. Gram per gram we believe you won’t find a higher quality protein at a better value, especially when you compare the whey protein isolate in Hammer Whey to cheaper whey concentrates, most of which contain only 70-85% actual protein and higher amounts of fat and lactose. Mix 1 scoop Hammer Whey in a blender with 1 cup of unsweetened fruit juice and/or fresh or frozen fruit and 1 cup of rice milk, soy milk or low fat cow’s milk. Add ice as desired. *More mixing/usage ideas are available on our website. Call or go online today! Detailed usage instructions available online / 1.800.336.1977 / www.hammernutrition.com 11 Hammer Nutrition Fuels Soy Protein Hammer Soy Premium vegetable protein • 100% GMO-free • Convenient way to increase your protein intake • Multiple health benefits • No added sugar, artificial sweeteners or flavorings $19.95 Extra Benefits Soy protein has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) without negatively affecting levels of HDL cholesterol (the good kind). For versatility, concentration and multiple health benefits, it’s hard to beat Hammer Soy. Ideal for all women and for men over 40, soy protein contains several phytochemicals, which are believed to be beneficial for helping to support cardiovascular health, optimal cholesterol levels, osteoporosis prevention and possibly cancer prevention. Hammer Soy is a great way to help you meet your daily protein requirements, (see chart on page 13). As with all the Hammer Nutrition fuels, Hammer Soy is made only from the highest quality naturally derived ingredients. It contains absolutely no GMO (genetically modified organism) soy and has no added sugars or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Real Athletes, Real Results! I use Hammer Soy almost every day. It gives me high quality protein that I can count on to help my body adapt to training and gain strength and fitness. - Matt S. Size & Price 24-servings 4 or more Bret Simpson knows the value of soy protein during a long ride. $19.95 $16.95 ea. Ingredients Non-GMO Soy Protein Directions Mix 1 scoop Hammer Soy in a blender with 1 cup of unsweetened fruit juice and/or fresh or frozen fruit and 1 cup of rice milk, soy milk or low fat cow’s milk. Add ice as desired. *More mixing/usage ideas are available on our website. Notes Due to its specific amino acid profile, and because it produces almost no ammonia, soy protein is the best protein source for use prior to and during exercise. For a variety of reasons, we recommend that men under 40 not consume excessive amounts of soy, primarily consuming it via Sustained Energy or Perpetuem during prolonged exercise.

Mixing Sustained Energy and Perpeteum into a concentrated “multi-hour bottle” or “paste” are preferred because they allow you to be self-sufficient for many hours, requiring only additional plain water along the way. Using concentrated fuel mixtures also allows you to avoid burnout from drinking the same thing hour after hour. Step by step directions for mixing and usage can be found in the Hammer Nutrition Product Usage Manual which accompanies your order. You can also download free copies of the usage manual from our web site. SE is a carb and protein drink with no added flavors or sweeteners. Perpetuem adds lipids (fat from soy), Sodium Phosphate, flavor and a natural sweetener to our original carb/protein formula. The two products are interchangeable and both are ideally suited for any prolonged exercise lasting more than 2 hours. If you want bland calories, SE is ideal. If you want a liquid meal with more flavor and sweetness, Perpetuem is for you. Daily Protein Intake Chart *All measurements shown in grams needed per day How much protein do endurance athletes need? Numerous studies have demonstrated that endurance athletes in heavy training need more protein than recreational athletes do. This chart gives you a good reference as to how much protein you should consider consuming daily from all sources, diet and supplemental protein powders.

Thanks! - Randy P. • Superior immune system and overall health support • Support for muscle rebuilding • Digestive function support • Fill in nutrient gaps in diet • Less sick days • Anti-inflammation support • More energy throughout entire day Though all people, especially athletes, should strive to eat a healthy and balanced diet, few do. Additionally, our food supply is desperately lacking in the nutrients once had, up to 90% less than a few decades ago. These reasons are why advice such as "you can get all the nutrients you need from your food" is hopelessly outdated and why the consistent use of a multivitamin/mineral supplement is essential. The key to obtaining noticeable benefits is to provide your body with optimal amounts of nutrients, not just minimum "daily recommended" amounts, and that's where Premium Insurance Caps comes in.

The unique MitoR Caps formula, which incorporates some exciting recent discoveries in cellular physiology, helps mitochondria (the thousands of energy-producing “furnaces” in the cells of your body) work more efficiently and stay healthier. To quote one nutritional expert, “The longer you can stimulate the lifespan or health of the mitochondria, the longer you will live and the better you will perform in endurance events. The athlete who has the most healthy/efficient mitochondria is the athlete who performs at their best.” The take-home message is that if you take care of your mitochondria they’ll take care of you in so many ways. In addition to those extraordinary benefits, thanks to several of the nutrients in the formula, improved brain health and function is another benefit you may expect from Mito-R Caps. Lipoic acid (in the preferred “r” isomer form used in Mito-R Caps) is often called the “universal antioxidant” because, unlike other antioxidants, it scavenges both water and fatsoluble free radicals.

Vinpocetine is purported to be very beneficial in helping prevent or relieve hearing loss due to a variety of causes, as well as tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vertigo (sensation of dizziness). Everything you do, including breathing, creates free radicals and when you exercise the amount increases dramatically. Excess free radicals can easily overwhelm your body's natural antioxidant defense systems, wreaking havoc on your athletic endeavors and, more importantly, your health. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, but merely taking some vitamin C and E won't cut it. You need as much antioxidant support as possible from a wide variety of sources. Super AO's unique combination of herbal, enzyme, and amino acid antioxidants complements, but doesn't duplicate, the antioxidants you may already be taking. Super AO is designed to help protect your immune system, enhance circulation, and accelerate recovery, thus preserving all the hardearned gains you make in training. The harder you train, the more you need Super AO in your recovery regimen. Real Athletes, Real Results! This was my secret weapon.

My physical performance is improving and my recovery is remarkable. - Wiley L. The trace mineral chromium has profound effects on both general health and athletic performance. By supplementing your post workout/race fuel with chromium polynicotinate (not to be confused with chromium picolinate or other forms of this mineral) enhances recovery because it helps to increase the rate of glycogen synthesis. Additionally, chromium plays a vital role in energy production and the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Considered by many experts to be the “master nutrient” for controlling blood sugar, chromium is an important nutrient for everyone, especially diabetic athletes, athletes with hypoglycemia, and for anyone wishing to maintain optimal weight.

Specific harvesting methods and special low-heat drying & fine-grinding processes preserve the “living” enzymes and rich nutrients stored in the plant, making Phytomax unequaled in nutrient density and bioavailability by any “green food” product currently on the market.

Infections, poor diet, stress, overuse of NSAID medications, antibiotics, and even chlorinated water can deplete or destroy the healthy bacteria living in the human digestive system. This can allow undesirable bacteria to flourish and compromise digestive system function, nutrient absorption, intestinal health, and immunity. Containing substantial amounts of three potent strains of healthy bacteria, Digest Caps tilts the all-important balance of intestinal flora in favor of the “good guys.” This helps prevent negative intestinal flora from wiping out your hard-earned training gains and compromising your health.

Under normal conditions (such as at rest) the body can produce all the ATP it needs for a healthy existence. However, during stressful conditions, such as high-intensity exercise, the body’s ATP stores are rapidly depleted and cannot be replenished quickly enough by normal means. When you’re in a race and you need to step up the effort – be it prior to attacking a climb or dropping the pack – your body must have the cellular goods to deliver the performance. And that’s exactly when ATP 100 shines. When you put an ATP 100 tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve, you get a nice boost of energy exactly when you need it. It’s perfect for interval sessions, a hard section of a workout or race, or when it’s time to put away the competition for good.

Upgrade your heat defenses Improve heat tolerance and fat metabolism • Increase body fluid volume • Reduce urine output • Increase sweat for evaporative cooling • Improve fat metabolism • Reduce fatigue • Lower heart rate Photo / Chris Kostman In hot conditions, especially beyond a two-hour effort, your core temperature can increase substantially, causing profuse sweating. The ensuing fluid depletion forces your heart to work harder and slows metabolic reactions necessary for efficient fuel transport. This means decreased athletic performance and increased possibility of dehydration. Liquid Endurance’s glycerol component increases blood volume and cellular/intracellular fluid storage capacity, giving you extra fluid reserves. L-carnitine and vitamin B6 complement glycerol in supporting efficient energy metabolism for fatty acids, imperative in endurance exercise. Test it in training, and then see your times drop when it counts. Don’t race in hot weather without Liquid Endurance. Size & Price 24 servings 3 or more $19.95 Real Athletes, Real Results! $16.95 ea.

Extra Benefits Notes Liquid Endurance does not prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from over exertion in extreme heat. Because glycerol increases the uptake and distribution of L-carnitine - a key nutrient in the burning of fats for fuel - at the cellular level, using Liquid Endurance may help support weight loss goals.

Voler Sizing Note: In 2005, Voler Team Apparel significantly changed their sizing going from "US" to "European". That means that all of their sizes got smaller. Many clients had to return their clothing in exchange for the next size larger. So, when choosing a jersey or other Voler racewear, you should go up one size if you are unfamiliar with the smaller European sizing. Likewise, if you are between two sizes, choose the larger size. 36 ® RUNNING APPAREL Product, clothing and softgoods photos by Marty Wood Call or go online today! 1.800.336.1977 / www.e-caps.com / Size chart available within price list or online Clothing & Accessories Short Sleeve, Sleeveless and Summer Weight Jerseys Airies Micro Plus Airies Micro Plus fabric utilizes state-of-the-art construction to achieve superior wicking characteristics.The different sized yarns (micro/macro filament yarns) act as a siphon to pull moisture from the surface of the skin and push it to the outside of the fabric where the waffled texture with increased surface area speeds evaporation.

Capilene products are comprised of polyester fibers. Untreated polyester is hydrophobic or water repellent. But the surface or skin of Capilene polyester fibers has been chemically altered to make them hydrophilic. This fine skin on each strand of polyester attracts moisture away from the body, while the inner untreated core repels it. Moisture lifts, spreads and disperses, evaporating into either the air or outer layers. This process is chemically bonded to the fabric and will not wear or wash out (we recommend avoiding fabric softeners).
