Why Rinse?

Over 15 years of studies have proven that simply rinsing a carb-solution around your mouth for 5-10 seconds will elicit an instantaneous power boost by activating the motivation/reward centers of the brain. Rinse is a direct and uncompromising reflection of this body of robust research, and is both organic and sugar/caffeine free.

For any workout up to approx 90 min, your body does not require, or benefit from, additional carbohydrates as you have sufficient glycogen (carbohydrate) stores to sustain exercise of this duration.

As the body will always utilize its own stores first, there is no benefit to performance by eating or drinking until these stores are depleted. In other words, the energy bar before crossfit, the sports drink before a spin class or even the banana we grab before hitting a 5-mile run is not necessary.

The only way to boost performance in short duration exercise is to engage the brain, and this is done via a carb-rinse. Carb-rinsing is a natural way to get an instant power boost by optimizing the body's own endogenous stores of energy.

Nutrition Facts

Directions: 3 Steps to Instant Energy

1. RINSE: Starting at the beginning of your workout, rinse for 5-10 seconds
2. DRINK: Drink for added hydration.
3. REPEAT: Repeat approx every 15min. Each bottle contains 4 rinses, designed to fuel 1 hour of exercise.

For exercise up to 90 min:
Carb-rinsing will give you a physical boost and can be relied on as your sole source of fuel for short duration exercise.

For exercise greater than 90 min:
Use in combination with a traditional fueling strategy. At this stage, your body has begun to deplete its own glycogen stores and it is necessary to replenish by eating/drinking exogenous carbohydrates. Since carbohydrate ingestion takes 20 min at a minimum to be digested and have any performance effect, carb-rinsing is a tactical tool to be used when energy is required instantaneously.

Benefits

Enhance Performance for Strength And Cardio Exercise
Devenney, Collins & Shortall, 2016, demonstrated that the use of carb-rinsing leads to improvements in performance times, average power output and average speed.

Immediate Boost in Upper Body Strength
A study by Sinclair & Bottoms, 2015, showed a 17% improvement in performance for those undertaking upper body exercises during a carb-rinsing trial. Particularly relevant for weight-lifters and rowers.

Improve Peak Power Output
Philips et al., 2014, demonstrated that continuous use of carb-rinsing significantly improved PPO (peak power output) during a maximal cycle sprint. Relevant for cyclists, spinning exercises, strength training and more.

Combat Mental Fatigue and Improve Cognitive Function
Rowlatt et al, 2017, demonstrated that carb-rinsing can improve accuracy and mitigate central fatigue especially towards the end of a competition where the onset of mental fatigue is likely to occur.

Decrease Feeling of Exhaustion and Neuromuscular Fatigue Induced By Exercise By Activating Reward Areas in the Brain
De Ataide e Silva et al, 2014, demonstrated that by activating the reward and pleasure areas of the brain, carb-rinsing leads to a lower perception of exertion and fatigue during exercise. This was again demonstrated by Bastos-Silva et al., 2016,

Significantly Improve Pre- Breakfast Morning Exercise Performance
Clark, et al., 2017, demonstrated that after an overnight fast, carb-rinsing significantly improved the morning performance of CMJ (countermovement jump) height, 10m sprint times, bench presses and squat repetitions among other exercises.

Increase Reaction Speeds and Motor Control During High-Intensity Exercise
Konishi et al., 2017, demonstrated that carb-rinsing can mitigate the decline in reaction time induced by sustained high-intensity exercise.

Combat Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Distress During Later Stages of Race
Jensen et al., 2018, demonstrated that carb-rinsing helps maintain power output late into a 2hr submaximal cycling time trial, which is particularly meaningful for athletes that suffer from Gastro-Intestinal intolerance of carbohydrate ingestion at later stages of a race.

Increase Running Speed
Rollo et al., 2008, demonstrated that runners who carb-rinsed selected faster running speeds despite being asked to run at the same perceived exertion.

Immediate Boost In Self Control
Molden et al., 2012, demonstrated that participants who rinsed their mouths with, but did not ingest, carbohydrate solutions showed immediate boosts in self-control.

Delay Time to Exhaustion
Fares & Kayser, 2011, demonstrated that carb-rinsing improved time to exhaustion in both fasted and fed states by an average of 7 +/- 3% and 3 +/- 2% respectively. This improvement was accompanied by an average of 6 +/- 1% drop in the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) when compared to the placebo.
