ENDURO RACING

”In Enduro World Champion series you drive two 7-hour days and no matter how good condition you are in, towards the end of the day your concentration lapses. Fatigue overcomes you slowing down your ability to react both mentally and physically. I had no solution to this problem until I tried Flow Endurance.”

FIELD AND TRACK

“My first experience with Flow was during the FinnishTrack and Field Championships in July 2008. I had met Flow representatives earlier and wanted to test the product.

I first tested Flow in the qualifying contest. The day was extremely hot and humid, yet I felt very energetic all day, both physically and mentally. The next day, the weather was still hot. I drank two bottles of Flow before I arrived on the sports field and another four bottles during the actual contest.

The biggest difference I noticed compared to other sports drinks was that I stayed energetic and dynamic through-out the whole contest. Because of the effects of Flow, I was able to focus on my performance during this very exiting and challenging contest. Flow helped me win the Finnish Championships in pole vault.”

FINNISH CURLING ASSOCIATION

”I have used Flow in manyconnections and noticed the positive effect it has on my abilityto concentrate. I’m not particularlysensitive to sugars and can makedo with water. However, Flow is superior to water in that it is moresuitable to the human body, ithelps keep the feeling of hungeraway and it doesn’t dilute bodysalts the way water does.”

FIVE STAR COACH AND TRAINER

“Golf is a game where a balanced state of

mind is crucial. The more experienced the golfer, the more important this becomes.

Golfers are on the look out for solutions to find balanced circumstances in competition and training.

Being aware of these facts, knowing yourself and wanting to succeed in the game, you will find that Flow helps you in a very important sector.

Golfers who understand the meaning of moods and mental condition in golf and want to succeed will benefit from Flow.”

users in autumn 2008. The drink has beenvery well received by the team. In fact, the team is playing its best season ever. SPV wona historic bronze in the 2008-2009 league and the players are confident that one factor in this is correct energy with Flow Endurance. Based on its experience with Flow Endurance, SPV would like to see a special Flow customized for recovery drink.”

GOLF AND DIABETICS

“I have had diabetes for 30 years. For the past 20 years my biggest concern as a golf player has been my sugar balance during a full round. Just two years ago I had a problem in adjusting my sugar and energy levels about half way through my round. I often noticed, too late, that my blood sugar level had dropped too low; at the same time, my three-dimensional vision became two-dimensional. This often led to shankingdrives. I used to carry bread and chocolate with me to upgrade my blood sugar level.Finding Flow was a significant change and a great relief for me while playing golf. Now I carry Flow and a few apples with me whenever I play. I get the best results drinking small amounts of Flow and water before every tee off. When the weather isn’t too hot I drink a bottle of Flow per nine holes. In hotter weather conditions I drink more than that. If I feel hungry during the game, I usually eat an apple. This combination has worked very well for me and my blood sugar level has remained stable. I can concentrate on succeeding in the game and not worry about my sugar levels.”

Mika WikströmFinnish golfer and diabetic

GOLF AND DIABETICS

”At 52, I have Type I diabetes which evolved from TypeII 3 years ago (LADA). I have extremely tight bloodsugar control with a HbA1c of 5.6. The insulins I useare Lantus (4 - 8 units in the morning + 8 evening) and Novorapid as required.I now play 150 to 200 rounds of golf per year, mostlyin Sotogrande, Spain. My HCP is 8- and going down...Whenever possible, I walk on the golf course. I eat a meal with long carbs two hours before the game, I rarely eat anything during the round. I try to start the game with a blood sugar level of 5-6 mmol/l, whichwould normally sink to 3.5 or below after 5 holes on my home course; naturally, my game goes down the drain at that level. Fast corrections at this point arefairly uncomfortable and tend to go 'over'.Flow has been great in helping maintain even bloodsugar level during the round. I am also very sensitiveto blood sugar being too high; anything above 7 mmol/l seems to affect my play negatively. Therefore I need to be very careful with 'normal' sports drinks. Normally I dilute a bottle of Flow drink 1:1, makingsure I drink 2 – 3dl before the round and the restduring the game. On hot days I use 1½ bottles and dilute it more. I feel that, especially late in the round, Flow also helps me concentrate better on shots and particularly putts.With Flow I don't need to worry about my diabetes while playing golf. The only negative aspect I can thinkof is the slight hassle of mixing the drink when you'rein a hurry.”

Ursula Wikström, PGA Finland (2004) Ladies’ European Tour”I always drink Flow when I play golf. I startdrinking it when I start my warm-up.

I appreciate the fact that it isn’t too sweet.”Ursula won second place in LET Finnair Masters on home turf on 31 August 2008.

Stenna Westerlund, PGA Finland (2008) SAS Masters Tour”I’ve been drinking Flow in all tournaments for some time now and I feel it gives me an advantage in my game. It keeps the feeling of hunger away and tastes better than waterespecially in hot conditions. It isn’t too sweet.”

HIGH PERFORMANCE TRAINING

“In top sports, the goal is to improve human performance with regard to the physiological, biomechanical and mental requirements of different sports. Heavy training, the ability to concentrate well, and learning new skills are essential when aiming for top results. Nutritional factors have an increasingly important role in both training and when competing. Correct nutrition is essential for the body’s energy metabolism, recovery after exercise, and the proper functioning of the nervous system.

I am familiar with the Flow drinks concept and appreciate the extensive scientific know-how its R&D is based on. These drinks are a valuable addition to top athletes’ daily training: they give you long lasting energy and help maintain a high level of concentration. Flow drinks are safe for athletes to use and they meet the criteria of clean sports.

The High Performance Training Center of Kuortane, Finland, is actively involved in Flow drinks’ R&D, thus making sure that the requirements of demanding top sports are taken into consideration when developing existing and new Flow products for the benefit of sports involving endurance, strength, speed and team effort.”

HORSE RIDING

“My name is Kimmo Sulkala and I am a

professional horseman. I professionally train and ride my customer’s horses. My workdays include training several horses each day. For good results, training horses requires stamina and patience, dedication and the ability to focus. After breakfast I sometimes have to work and ride for six hours without eating. During these days Flow is a tremendous help.

I also train horses and riders together. During these busy days I often drink Flow between my meals.”

PROFESSIONAL DANCING

“We have been using Flow as our preferred drink with very good results.We have been dancing for 30 years. Earlier we competed actively; now we work as teachers, choreographers and performers around the world.Training sessions are usually long. Competitions start early and often take up the whole day. We need to keep up a good level of alertness for prolonged periods of time.Concentration and endurance are key factors in long training and competition sessions, as it is not only physical, but also mental fitness that we look for in our work. Flow works perfectly for us. There is a noticeable difference in our ability to maintain our concentration and physical alertness when using Flow as compared to when we have run out of Flow.We can recommend Flow for anyone aiming for higher performance levels, both mental and physical.”

PROFESSIONAL DANCING

“I have been mentoring Finnish Dance Sport

couples for many years.

Dancers use their body as an instrument to express the music played. Competitions are long (8 to 12 hours) and the finals are at the end of the day.

Flow has solved the problem of being able to use your mind to control body movements in harmony with music.

Couples using Flow have succeeded in international competitions. A good example are Markus and Mariia Hirvonen winning the Under 21 British Open in May 2008.”

SAILING, SWAN 45 CLASS

Swan 45 class is a high standard one-design platform attracting world’s best sailors to compete in top regattas. Reaching a size of 50 boats, the one-design fleet has attracted many top names from international yacht and dinghy racing, ranging from America’s Cup legends and Whitbread heroes to Olympic medal winnersNow this highly competitive fleet has a Finnish challenger: s/y BLUE NIGHTS, another stunning Swan 45 with a female owner and skipper, Tea Ekengren. Believing in themselves, Swan 45 project Blue Nights started in 2006, challenging the world’s top sailors, being fully aware of the fact that reaching the top would be rough sailing. The aim was to keep the learning curves on positive angles and slowly, yet surely reach the international ranks of Swan 45 sailing.In 2008 the Blue Nights team has been getting their regatta performance from Flow drinks. In July 2008 Blue Nights was closer than ever to their goal of winning third place in one of the most remarkable regattas in Spain, the King’s Cup, and receiving the trophy personally from the King and Queen of Spain. The next regatta, Swan 45 World Cup, will take place in September 2008. This class has been by far the most exciting class in the recent Rolex Cup events in Porto Cervo, with over 100 Swan yachts attending.

after training for almost a year now. As headcoach I'm impressed. I work out severaltimes a week and drink Flow daily. I like the taste of flow; it isn't too sweet and the mouthfeel is pleasant. The composition of the drink is perfect as Flow clearly keeps the sugar levels even.”Mika Lehkosuo, Headcoach

SPORT INSTRUCTION

“I have worked as a sports instructor for over 10 years in Finland. I instruct indoor cycling, body pump, different aerobic classes and dance classes. In total I have 10-20 classes every week. I also have a history as a world championship level athlete, in team skating.The classes that I instruct are very challenging, physically and mentally. I have to perform alongside with the class, to show example. I also have to concentrate on verbally encouraging and inspiring them to give their all for the workout. This means speaking throughout the whole class in addition to working out and it takes a lot of energy to stay dynamic and focused.Before I started to drink Flow during my classes, I was often seriously dehydrated. Especially after a 2-3 hour workout I felt physically weak and tired. I also suffered from overtraining when instructing over 20 classes a week. My body was no longer able to recover from this physical stress and restore its health and fitness. Since 2006 Flow has played a significant role in my well-being and stamina. Drinking Flow is definitely a part of my daily routine.I believe in the concept so strongly that I want to encourage my clients to improve their stamina and energy levels during the workouts. Drinking Flow improves well-being and health, because it enables you to exceed yourself in whatever you do and have fun while doing it!”

Flow Endurance was a completely new drinkto the triathlonists competing in Nokia, Finland, 2-3 August 2008. After their initialwariness, they had to get more.
