PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc., (Nasdaq:PHLI) announce today that they have entered into an exclusive sponsorship agreement with the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) and College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) making two PHLI products, ACCELERADE®‚ and Endurox® R4®‚ the official sports drinks of both coaching associations. ACCELERADE and Endurox R4 are already the official sports drinks of the United States Track Coaches Association (USTCA).

“As coaches, we strive to inform our players about the latest technology and breakthroughs that can help take their game to the next level,” said Joe Bertagna, Executive Director of AHCA. “We are excited about our relationship with ACCELERADE and Endurox R4 because both drinks are based on strong science and have been clinically proven to extend endurance and speed recovery.”

“ACCELERADE and Endurox R4 came out of a collaborative effort between leading exercise physiologists and PHLI. The fact that three prestigious national coaching associations in three major sports have selected these products as their official sports drinks is testimony to our research program to help athletes improve their performance safely,” said Dr. Robert Portman, President and CEO of PHLI.

Both ACCELERADE, used during exercise, and Endurox R4, used following exercise, contain the patented 4-1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed muscle glycogen replenishment and extend endurance as well as antioxidants to reduce post exercise muscle damage. In clinical trials, ACCELERADE has been shown to extend endurance up to 24% and Endurox R4 was shown to accelerate muscle recovery and reduce post exercise muscle damage by 36%.
