To simplify things, we have divided it into 2 areas:
1. Match Day Performance
2. Daily Training and Recovery
Performance:

B. Daily Training and Recovery

EnduraShake:

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – for those who don’t wish to feel full in a match!
  • Great for high-intensity sports, where you don’t wish to play on an empty stomach, but you also don’t wish to feel full.

Use EnduraShake 3 ways:

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 1-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event and number of heats etc). 1 scoop in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning: Take 1 scoop in 200ml water about 2 hours before your first game. This is particularly good if you struggle to eat before you play.
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. 1 scoop in 200ml water intermittently throughout the day – between heats, whenever you feel hungry.
  4. Recovery food: 1-2 scoops immediately afterwards to maximise fast recovery, especially if you have to compete again the following day. In addition, if you are very tired, take another 1 scoop before you go to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed tired muscles while you’re sleeping)

EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water-bottle(s):

  • Low GI for stable blood sugar (and thus helping with good, energy, focus and drive)
  • High electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt).
  • Malic acid for high intensity.
  • L-Glutamine for recovery.

Use EnduraPower as follows:

  1. Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre. (You should not water it down).
  2. Sip on ~750ml EnduraPower well before the start if the game – at least an hour before, and throughout your warm-up. This ensures that you are fully hydrated before.
  3. Sip inbetween heats throughout the day of competition. Whenever you get the chance during the game, sip on EnduraPower.

GT Gel:
An extremely high-electrolyte, sustaining energy gel, GT Gel is designed in Africa for Africa.
Brilliant for preventing cramps! Sustained energy!
Use GT Gel as follows:
GT Gel may be used an alternative to EnduraPower: Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and sip intermittently throughout the day of competition (as you would EnduraPower – see above). It is super-convenient as the little decanting bottle will give you energy and electrolytes for several hours over the day for waterpolo heats. Remember to drink water along with GT Gel throughout the day. Drinking water with the gel ensures easy and rapid absorption of the gel.
Note: GT Gel has significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).

PaceLyte:
A tasteless ELECTROLYTE formula, containing significant amounts of MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE, with a miniscule amount of carb.
Use PaceLyte for Waterpolo as follows:
If you tend to cramp (despite having pre-hydrated with EnduraPower or GT Gel with water), then simply add Half to One teaspoon of PaceLyte to your waterbottles and sip throughout the day, whilst waiting for your heats/final. PaceLyte will provide you with electrolytes only – HIGH magnesium glycinate, with a very small amount of carbohydrate.
Joobies OR Jooblets: (Same thing, different sizes) One Joobie = 5-6 Jooblets
An electrolyte chewy to a powerful energy boost for sprints!
Use Joobies or Jooblets at a Waterpolo event as follows:
A few minutes before your heat/final: Eat one full Joobie or one little packet of Jooblets for the same SPRINT energy (and electrolytes). One Joobie or one little packet of Jooblets will give you max energy for 20 minutes of flat-out sprinting.
Souties: For the MUNCHIES!!

A savoury/salty snack. Pure food. No preservatives. MCT’s for energy! (They taste like chips!).
Use Souties as follows:
• Anytime! When you need to perform, but also need real food. Eat anytime between heats and final.
• When you’re craving a salty, savoury snack, especially after all the sweet stuff!
• When you need a balanced mini-meal – protein, carb and fat. They wont make you feel full, but they will sustain you.
• If you’re cramping. Contains both Kalahari and Himalayan Salt.
Twin packs with a variety of flavours: Mixed Herbs, Basil-Pesto, Thyme, Umama, Tomato+Black Pepper; and Original. Nothing sweet about them!
L-Glutamine:
An amino acid that helps your body recover.
Use L-Glutamine as follows:
Take 1 teaspoon after the finals. Simply add the teaspoon of L-Glutamine (Optional)
to your EnduraPower at the end. If you are really tired, take another 1 teaspoon before you go to sleep that night too.
B. Daily Training and RECOVERY
Daily Training: EnduraPower and/or PaceLyte
1. EnduraPower: This is great for daily training: Simply mix in your waterbottle(s) as prescribed. Place on the side of the pool and sip intermittently throughout your conditioning session. EnduraPower is especially good high heart-rate training.
2. PaceLyte: If you prefer to train on just electrolytes (PaceLyte has only a miniscule amount of carbohydrate), then use PaceLyte instead of EnduraPower. One teaspoon of PaceLyte per 750ml/1 litre.
Daily Recovery: LeanPlex, Whey Power, L-Glutamine and Collagen Peptides
1. LeanPlex is a high protein, low kilojoule formula that will help with daily recovery – Also good if you need to drop some bodyfat for your sport.

3. Pace & Power L-Glutamine: An amino acid for muscle repair and recovery.
Use our L-Glutamine (Optional)
as follows: Take one teaspoon of our pure L-Glutamine immediately after training – especially after sprints.
4. Pace & Power Collagen Peptides: If you have issues with your joints – ANY connective tissue – for example, your shoulders, groin, then our Pace & Power collagen is the thing to use! Results for most athletes are significantly good!
