Refuel with Milk Goodness

Whilst everyone can benefit from the goodness of milk in Mars® Refuel drink , it is especially popular amongst active people and sportsmen.

Why? Because the milk in Mars® Refuel drink helps to make give it an optimum  4:1 carbs: protein ratio which helps tired muscles. This ratio gives enough protein to help muscle recovery , but not so much that it can’t be absorbed fast enough to be used.

So whether you’re a world-class Olympic athlete on a punishing training schedule or just trying to keep fit, if you drink Mars® Refuel within 30 minutes of a strenuous  exercise session it can help your muscles recover faster and help you can go longer next time you exercise.  And ,unlike so many specialised sports drinks, Mars® Refuel  TASTES ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and contains NOTHING ARTIFICAL.

In independent scientific tests (Northumbria University 2007),  athletes who drank Mars® Refuel  after a bout of hard exercisekept going up to 50% longer in a second session than those who took specialised sports drinks.

The study was conducted by Dr Emma Stevenson, Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Nutrition at Northumbria University. A number of athletes exercised to exhaustion and then rested for a period with different drinks (Mars Refuel drink, an isotonic drink and a specialised protein drink). They then resumed exercise . Those who had drunk Mars Refuel could keep going 50% longer than those who had used the isotonic drink, and 40% longer than those using the protein drink.

Dr Emma Stevenson reported "Our study indicates that consuming Mars® Refuel  drink during a short recovery period significantly improves subsequent endurance capacity”
