Altitude Sickness
Altitude sickness, also referred to as Acute Mountain Sickness, is the illness causing effect of high altitude on the human body. The exact mechanism by which it occurs is unknown but the severity of symptoms can vary from mild to life threatening.* Recognizing the symptoms of altitude sickness, getting to a lower elevation, using supplemental oxygen, staying hydrated with water and Acli-Mate® Mountain Sports Drink may help to prevent or reduce the severity of altitude sickness.
Already Acclimatized? Use Acli-Mate® to Enhance Mountain Performance.
Acli-Mate® is a unique and energizing Mountain Sport Drink. It is designed for the mountain visitor concerned about Altitude Sickness (also known as Acute Mountain Sickness) AND for the mountain athlete looking for optimal hydration and enhanced performance at elevation. B vitamins serve as cofactors in the production of energy; CoQ10 is involved in the electron transport chain responsible for the production of ATP (the energy currency of the body); Vitamin C, Rhodiola Rosea, Schizandra Berries and Ginkgo promote optimal acclimatization, endurance and recovery; Calcium and Magnesium help to reduce muscle cramping and bone loss in the endurance athlete; and Electrolytes help to keep the body hydrated, critical in dry mountain air.
B-vitamins do not directly produce energy in the body. B-vitamins act as cofactors or coenzymes that catalyze the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose and thus into energy.
Coenzyme Q10 (also known as ubiquinone), is concentrated in the mitochondria of human cells. It is an essential component of the electron transport chain, where ATP, the energy currency of the body is made. 95% of energy produced in the human body is made in this way. Acli-Mate® is the only sport drink containing COQ10. (From Wikipedia)
Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic acid is best known as an antioxidant. When the body is under stress, such as during physical activity and/or being at elevation, more free radicals are generated, this is called oxidative stress. Vitamin C helps to reduce oxidative stress. Acli-Mate® Mountain Sport Drink has 100% of the RDA of vitamin C per serving. *(Information from Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia)
