- Better endurance.
- Increase performance time at anaerobic threshold.
- Unsurpassed lactic acid buffering.
- Boost glycogen storage.
- Gluten-Free and Vegan Friendly.
If you found a supplement that enhanced the functions and performance of your body's three energy production pathways, and also effectively buffered lactic acid, you'd take it, wouldn't you? Hammer Nutrition's Race Day Boost is that product - and yes, it's safe and legal! In the most extensive study to date on Race Day Boost's primary ingredient, fit cyclists in a 40K time trial netted a whopping 8% improvement in performance time. The simple formula belies its profound effectiveness, aiding in increased cellular energy production and buffering performance-robbing lactic acid.
No matter what duration your event may be, a four-day loading dose of Race Day Boost prior to a key race can make a noticeable difference in your performance. This is a special product for special events, but if you intend to meet or exceed your race day expectations, you better have Race Day Boost in your arsenal.
**This product must be tested in training prior to use for a raceRace Day Boost Powder:Take 1 level teaspoon of Race Day Boost 4 times per day, for 4 days prior to competition. We suggest mixing each teaspoon serving in 3-4 ounces of warm/hot water. After the powder dissolves consume immediately. 2-4 ounces of fruit juice and/or ice can be added if desired. Do not take Race Day Boost the day of the event.
For best results, allow 3-4 weeks between loading cycles.
If doing a multi-day event this protocol may be used:
- Follow the same 4-day loading protocol as described above.
- Take 1 level teaspoon of Race Day Boost with your recovery drink as soon as possible after the race, with another dose of Race Day Boost (mixed in warm/hot water as described above) later in the day/evening.
- Follow this twice daily "maintenance dose" protocol after each stage.
- Do not take Race Day Boost in the morning prior to the start of the next stage.
Race Day Boost Capsules:
- Take 2 capsules of Race Day Boost with food or juice 4 times per day (total of 8 capsules daily), for 4 days prior to competition.
- During prolonged races an additional capsule may be taken every 1-2 hours, if desired.
- For best results, allow 3-4 weeks between loading cycles.
If doing a multi-day event this protocol may be used:
- Follow the same 4-day loading protocol as described above.
- Take 2 capsules of Race Day Boost with Recoverite as soon as possible after the race, with another 2-capsule dose of Race Day Boost with food later in the day/evening.
- Follow this twice daily "maintenance dose" protocol after each stage.
Alternate Race Day Boost Loading Dose Protocol
The majority of the studies of the main ingredient in Race Day Boost (RDB), sodium tribasic phosphate, showed remarkably positive, performance-enhancing results with administration of 1 gram (1000 mg) of the nutrient four times daily for four straight days. That is our dosage recommendation for most athletes. However, it is theoretically possible that lighter weight athletes may be able to achieve the same benefits using less of this nutrient.
With that in mind, here are some suggested usage instructions - based on a range of body weights - which you may want to test in your training:
Up to 125 lbs
Day One: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules one time/day
Day Two: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules two times/day
Day Three: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules two times/day
Day Four: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules three times/day
126-160 lbs
Day One: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules two times/day
Day Two: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules three times/day
Day Three: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules three times/day
Day Four: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules four times/day
160+ lbs
Day One: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules four times/day
Day Two: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules four times/day
Day Three: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules four times/day
Day Four: 1 teaspoon RDB or 2 RDB capsules four times/day
It's important to note that these are estimated doses. Each athlete must test this protocol for Race Day Boost in training before using it in the four days prior to a race.
