We met Frankie while sponsors of Tom McManners's Discover Adventures PRO Series Camp. OS drinks had just been created and we were anxious to get more pro cyclists' opinions of the products. After trying OS performance drinks, Frankie was as immediate fan and we brought him in as a co-owner.

Make OS your Operating System

OSmotic—that’s what OS means.   This answers the question most asked by new discoverers of our performance nutrition drinks.  OSmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid.  Your body knows the meaning of that word.  It cannot/will not absorb food or drink until it adjusts the solids to liquid ratio to the range it needs.  That’s part of its operating system.

Your body can handle a lot.  Regardless of what you throw at it, your body calls on all of its amazing mechanisms to adjust, circulate and create the conditions within to insure that you perform at the highest level of your ability.  However, if it has to work on digestion while you’re exercising, it needs to rob blood from your muscles for that purpose.  It wants the calories you're trying to give it, but shouldn’t have to work on breaking them down to make them absorbable.

Why wouldn’t you give your body what it wants and needs?  It’s doing its best to supply the demand you’re asking of it.  Give it a sports drink that is OSmotic and ready to absorb without the need to adjust non-osmotic drinks, gels or solid foods.  Support your body’s operating system by making OS Performance Nutrition your Operating System during sports.

You deserve high performance, all natural nutritional products that help you achieve real results. We at OS Performance Nutrition are dedicated to making nutritional science easy and helping you achieve those results.

To become a high performance athlete you have to understand more than just physical training. The last remaining competitive advantage in sports is nutritional science and nutritional strategy.

Nutritional science and performance is not well understood by many athletes as evidenced by poor preparation and lack of a nutritional strategy. This is not just a problem with amateur athletes. There are many elite and pro athletes that struggle with nutrition. OS Performance Nutrition helps to solve this problem by explaining the science for those that are interested and delivering products that are easy to use, great tasting, and produce high-end nutritional performance.

What is high-end nutritional performance?


There many nutritional products on the market today. How do you determine which products are low-end performance nutritional products and which are high-end nutritional performance products?

We can help. From our nutritional science research, proven in the field results and accolades from athletes that use OS Performance Nutrition products, high-end nutritional performance can be boiled down to two main elements:


1) Concentration of your nutritional product in water is critical. Over concentration and under-concentration of your nutritional supplement will create performance problems such as cramps and dehydration for over-concentrated products and low energy performance for under-concentrated products.


NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT CONCENTRATION IN WATER IS CRITICAL TO PERFORMANCE!


2) Nutritional ingredients should be all natural, high-quality mixtures of complex carbs, protein and flavor to meet the precise needs of specific situations. Too much protein during exercise will only result in loading your kidneys with by-products. Too much simple sugar to sooth your sweet tooth will cause you to have a short burst energy crash. Synthetic additives are simply not good for your health. You need an all natural high-quality ingredient nutritional supplement that is designed for your specific conditions. Pre-event nutrition should not be treated the same as during or after event nutritional supplementation.


ONE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT DOES NOT FIT ALL SITUATIONS!

It is important to know more about nutrition and the products you use. It has a significant effect of your athletic performance and OS Performance Nutrition can help. OS will help you gain the advantage with nutritional science, complete situation based nutritional strategy and ultimate high-end nutritional performance.
