Nrage Energy Strips Create a Big Buzz at the NYC Marathon

Gene Mitchell owner of the well known NY Running Company who is also an olympic qualifying marathon runner has recently teamed up with a new energy product called Nrage energy strips which is getting a big buzz throughout the running world.

New York (PRWEB) November 6, 2006 -- Gene Mitchell says" The NYC Marathon congregates thousands of runners from all over the world and it is a time when a potentially hot new product such as Nrage energy strips gets put to the test with the athletes".

Mitchell says" Nrage energy strips were originally brought to my attention from our company Vice President Gary Rosenberg who is an accomplished and competitive marathon runner". Rosenberg says " What I immediately liked about the energy strips was that I didn't have to drink, chew or swallow it". "After it dissolves on my tongue I am able to breathe better instantly and feel the caffeine rush within two minutes".

"I have always trained with a cup of coffee or Red Bull before a run and now I no longer rely on caffeine from drinking coffee or energy drinks but use the energy strips instead". "The product helps in a big way because I no longer have liquids sitting in my stomach from coffee, energy drinks or caffeinated energy gels". "Now the only energy gels I consume are non caffeinated utilized only for caloric intake". Rosenberg says" I usually take 2-3 Nrage energy strips before I start and then one strip every 4 to 5 miles for better breathing and instant energy". "For calories I take a non caffeinated energy gel". "This combination has helped to improve my time dramatically", Rosenberg concludes.

Paul Giordano Chief Energy Officer of Innovate Nutrition and Nrage Energy Products says" We were very excited being represented at the NYC Marathon by such a well respected and accomplished corporation in the marathon community because it is operated by runners for runners and gives us the street cred a product like Nrage needs".

"Nrage was a tremendous hit at the Marathon because the runners that consume caffeine get it about the product and the instant energy delivery system". "When they tried it they were hooked from being able to breath better and get a caffeine boost instantly". Giordano says "Nrage was highly accepted because runners need convenience and understand the benefits of the strips dissolving right on the tongue bypassing the gastrointestinal process so delivery is instant and fully absorbed". "Since the energy strips are not in liquid form and are fully absorbed through the gums it takes less caffeine to get the desired stimulation therefore having a far less diuretic effect than in any other caffeinated product"."People want convenience and results today especially when it come to competitive athletes" Giordano concludes.

When asked about other sports Giordano says " We are gradually sampling the energy strips to athletes in Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Boxing and also Law enforcement officers and Firefighters". The response has been unbelievable but for now we have been taking things a step at a time".
