先週のブルベで試したPerpetuem。気になってHammerのサイトで調べたら、ライド中に摂るdrink mixに二種類ある様子。一つはもちろんこのPerpetuem、もう一つはSustained Energyと呼ばれる更に歴史のあるもの。FAQに違いが記述してあるんだけれど、
Should I use Perpetuem or Sustained Energy? | Hammer Nutrition
- Sustained Energy is a neutrally flavored powder. Perpetuem comes in orange-vanilla "Dreamsicle" and caffe latte flavors.
- Perpetuem contains lyso-lecithin fat, whereas Sustained Energy does not.
- Perpetuem contains tribasic sodium phosphate, which is a tremendous lactic acid buffer. Sustained Energy does not contain this nutrient.
- Both fuels contain l-carnosine (an antioxidant that also buffers lactic acid) l-carnitine (to promote fatty acid utilization), and chromium polynicotinate (to stabilize blood sugar level).
- Perpetuem contains the new "XT" soy protein preparation, which, along with the sodium in tribasic sodium phosphate, provides a more complete mineral profile. The mineral content in a two-scoop serving of Perpetuem may allow you decrease your Endurolytes intake by one capsule per hour. Also, the "XT" soy protein contains higher isoflavone content, believed to have superb cardiovascular health benefits. Sustained Energy has soy protein and an excellent isoflavone content, but the strain used in Perpetuem has even more.
なんだか掴みどころがない。ということで自転車仲間でPerpetuem各味も含めて交換しようということになり、自分はSustained Energyを購入。Sports Basementで$14なり。
ちょっと気になるのが"Unflavored"という所。純粋プロテイン味の激マズなんだろうか…。実は子供の頃、シャクリーというところから親がプロテインを購入していて毎日飲まされていたトラウマがあるんだよなぁｗ。
とりあえず明日試す。
