Champion Invigorate sports drink now contains Sustamine ingredient

Champion said each 3.6g packet of Invigorate is packed with 250mg of Sustamine, which combines amino acids including L-Alanine and L-Glutamine.

During a study at the University of Central Florida, current and former basketball players who consumed a mixture of Sustamine and water showed better performance levels during active workouts.

Kyowa Hakkomarketing director Karen Todd said, "Athletes get the energy-boosting and powerful antioxidants from Invigorate and the re-hydration and muscle recovery benefits from Sustamine."

Kyowa is the maker of branded ingredients including Cognizin Citicoline, Lumistor L-Hydroxyproline, Pantesin Pantethine, Setria Glutathione, as well as Sustamine L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine.
