What is Hornet Juice?
A powdered sports drink containing 17 amino acids that you mix with water or your favorite electrolyte drink, which you take before, during and after exercise, to give you increased energy, endurance and improved recovery time. Hornet Juice works as a trigger for the oxidation of fat, which provides you with an abundant and long lasting source of energy.

What’s in it?
17 Amino Acids including; Proline, Glycine, Lysine, Threonine, Leucine, Tyrosine, Valine, Isoleucine, Alanine, Arginine, Phenylalanine, Glutamic Acid, Tryptophan, Histidine, Methionine, Serine, Aspartic Acid. This unique combination of amino acids combine to trigger the burning of fat for energy, thereby increasing your athletic endurance.

Where did it come from?
It was developed after extensive research of the giant hornet's amazing ability to fly 50 miles a day.
Hornet Juice replicates a mixture secreted by the hornet larvae, which the adult hornet ingests to provide them with the energy they need for their incredible flights of endurance.
It has even been the subject of an award winning National Geographic documentary.
Hornet Juice is manufactured in Auckland, New Zealand.

How does it work?
Hornet Juice works by activating the metabolism of fat for energy right from the start of your physical activity.
Your body has two primary sources of energy - glycogen and fat stored by the body.
Glycogen is easily burned in a short period of time and serves as a source of stamina in events that require a burst of energy. The disadvantage with this is the limited amount of glycogen reserves your body has. Your stores of glycogen are not sufficient to provide energy during exercise of long duration.
Conversely, fat is stored in abundance by the body, although it is generally difficult to convert into energy, requiring large amounts of oxygen to do so.
Hornet Juice works by quickly converting your body fat into a supply of energy during exercise.

What are its benefits?
1. Increased endurance and energy.
2. Convert body fat into long lasting energy from the start of exercise.
3. Reduced lactic acid build-up.
4. Improved recovery so you are fresh for your next training session.
5. Reduce your perceived effort and heart rate during physical activity.
6. Reduce muscle fatigue, cramping and burning.
7. Lessen your chance of injury.
8. Avoid the 'bloated feeling' you get from other sport drinks.
9. Lose extra body fat when exercising.
10. You will find exercise, training and racing easier and feel stronger.
11. Better maintain hydration during physical activity.
12. Be able to achieve sudden bursts of energy when required.
13. Ease post training/race day soreness....including hangovers too!
14. Have improved liver and kidney functions.
15. Have better central nervous system response during exercise.

How does it differ to other products on the market?
Most sports nutrition products function as a fuel, whereas Hornet Juice acts as a trigger for the oxidation of fat.
Energy bars, gels and other sports drinks are designed to replace electrolytes, carbohydrates and other substances lost during exercise.
The energy effect of Hornet Juice is not based on adding lost electrolytes and carbohydrates, but as an activator for the metablosim of fat.
The amino acid formula in Hornet Juice helps the body to burn the energy it already has for fuel. In other words, Hornet Juice encourages the body to burn its stores of fat for energy.
Fat is the body's most abundant source of energy. Glycogen is the body's other source of energy, which is more readably usable and in much shorter supply than fat.
Whilst Hornet Juice will help preserve your glycogen stores (by using fat for fuel instead of glycogen), during exercise you must replace lost glycogen by consuming carbohydrates.
Remember that Hornet Juice has been designed to complement your existing sports nutrition program and not replace it. Hornet Juice should be used in conjunction with carbohydrate replacement products like gels, sports bars and electrolyte/carbohydrate drinks.
Do not confuse Hornet Juice with being just another Gatorade, GU or Amino Vital, which are designed to replace lost energy. Hornet Juice has a unique effect that is not present in any other product in the marketplace that we are aware of.

Who uses it?
Any person engaged in physical activity in a wide range of sports. This includes novices, weekend warriors, serious amateurs, pros and even Olympic gold medal winners!
