Dr. Robert Portman is and exercise scientist and coauthor of three books,
Nutrient Timing
The Performance Zone
Hardwired for Fitness
and has authored hundreds of articles on how nutrition can improve fitness, health and athletic performance.
Dr. Portman teaches us that there are five macro-nutrients that an endurance athlete needs to know how to use: Water, Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, and electrolytes. By knowing WHEN and HOW MUCH to use the macro-nutrients, we can raise our performance, avoid bonking and G.I. distress.
Once we understand how to utilize these macro-nutrients, there are micro-nutrients that can further tweak and enhance our performance.
Over the last 30 years, Dr. Portman has reshaped sports nutrition and the development of energy products with proven performance and recovery benefits, including: Endurox R4, Accelerade and now Body Glove SURGE, an energy shot for endurance athletes.
