It's a competitor to gatorades, powerades, etc..., it's not trying to be a preworkout or bcaa/eaa drink.

hmmmm... after looking at that for a while i dont see any real difference, just another sugary drink, they think because it has 4g protein that it will be some insane product?

Well, after looking at it, it appears that it has the edge over the other drinks. Filtered water, no high fructose corn syrup, 4g protein...

LOL it was introduced in 2001 ... where have you been

It's selling point is that it contains the 4:1 carb/protein ratio that's backed by the nutrient-timing guy John Ivy.

Oh, I thought this was a new product. I guess I've just never seen it in stores or heard about it. Looked interesting, just thought I would bring it to the attention of those who haven't heard.

While protein helps spark recovery after exercise, it doesn't benefit performance during exercise.

Its because they totally redid their packages and are advertising on TV and the internet now.
