Find your fuel: Biogen Cytogen and new Cyto-Pro compared

Just as motorists can select different octane fuels that burn faster or slower to meet an engine’s design specifications, Biogen produces different products to support different endurance performance needs.

Biogen Cytogen Race Mix contains a blend of moderate and faster-releasing carbohydrates in the form of isomaltulose, agglomerated maltodextrin, dextrose monohydrate and corn syrup solids.

With 20.6 g of carbohydrates and 788 kJ of energy per serving, this formulation delivers a multi-stage energy release profile that makes it an ideal endurance performance solution for sustained efforts at higher intensities.

Added electrolyte and phosphates help to replenish the salts lost during exercise and aid recovery, with caffeine and L-tyrosine to support mental focus and lower perceived effort while training and racing.

Additional L-glutamine may help regulate lactic acid buildup in muscles, potentially delaying the onset of fatigue, while providing an alternative energy source for muscle cells, especially during prolonged exercise, helping to preserve muscle glycogen.

For athletes who need to endure for three hours or more, Biogen Cyto-Pro Hybrid Endurance Solution is the ultimate ultra-endurance drink designed to maintain energy stores, limit muscle damage, support recovery, and keep you performing at your best.

Its blend of easily digested carbohydrates from Agenanova and Palatinose™ (Isomaltulose) delivers the ideal combination of rapid and sustained release energy sources for a sports nutrition product used during ultra-endurance events, with 31 g of carbohydrates per serving.

Protein (9.1 g per serving) from whey isolate providers all nine essential amino acids to limit muscle loss during endurance events and support recovery between training sessions, races or stages. 

Additional performance benefits come from added creatine monohydrate, which can improve performance during short bursts of intense exertion, and caffeine for a cognitive boost, which can lower your perceived effort.

Other performance-enhancing ingredients included in the formulation include ß-Alanine, L-Carnitine Tartrate and L-Glutamine, which have proven abilities to help support optimal performance by enhancing endurance through more efficient energy production and decreasing muscle breakdown during efforts that exceed three hours.
