PERFORMANCE EXPERT HIGHLIGHTS
“MELON HYDR8 WAS ANOTHER FAN FAVORITE OF PLAYERS, ESPECIALLY AFTER INTENSE TRAINING AS A MEANS TO REPLENISH CARBOHYDRATE STORES AND WAS HEAVILY USED PRIOR TO AND DURING THE POST-PRACTICE LIFT AS A WAY TO REHYDRATE AND RECOVER. MANY ENJOYED IT PRE-PRACTICE AND PRE-GAME TOO TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE B6 AND CITRULLINE.”
— Bryan Snyder, RD, Director of Team Nutrition for the Denver Broncos
