CytoSport was founded in 1998 by a father/son team - Greg and Mike Pickett. The company prides itself on its high quality dietary supplements, and emphasizes innovation, effectiveness and taste. CytoSport owns the manufacturing and packaging facilities where its products are made, as well as an offshoot business - CytoSport Beverage Company - which specializes in ready-to-drink sports formulas. The CytoSport motto highlights two important areas for the organization, which is "Driven by Science - Inspired by Performance."
Cytomax is a sports drink supplement that is designed to deliver energy quickly and effectively. It uses a patented PolyLactate blend - the result of research into the body's metabolic response to exercise - as well as a mix of complex carbohydrates and electrolytes to produce better rehydration, performance, endurance and strength. At the same time, Cytomax reduces lactic acid levels, cramping and post workout soreness.
Begin using Cytomax 15 minutes before training for quick, effective hydration and lactic acid buffering. Drink Cytomax continually during exercise (32 fluid ounces per hour) to ensure proper hydration and optimum levels of performance. According to CytoSport, you should continue drinking Cytomax immediately after training, for glycogen restoration, electrolyte balance and to reduce post exercise cramping.

Evaluations of Cytomax's taste vary - some people love it, but not every flavor gets a green light. More importantly, this sports drink produces good results. Most reviewers found that Cytomax was great for cardio workouts, offering improved energy and endurance. For some people it also had benefits for strength, motivation and alertness, and acted as a buffer against the effects of lactic acid build-up.
