Science In Sport GO Electrolyte Powder Energy Drinks, High Carbohydrates and Sodium, Orange Flavour, 12 Servings Per 500 g

Product Information

Here at Science in Sport, we have an extensive range of energy boosting supplements, including our high-quality energy powders. To ensure you get the most from your workout, it’s important to combat the depletion of your body’s carbohydrate stores and to stay well hydrated, which is where our energy powders can help. In sports drinks, brands tend to go one of two ways,’ says Samuels. ‘Maltodextrin or glucose. The ones with a higher glucose content will have a naturally higher simple sugar content. The loss of electrolytes in sweat (primarily sodium) is also exacerbated during prolonged exercise or in hot weather. Failure to replace electrolytes, or dilution through excessive intake of plain water can result in hyponatremia (low levels of sodium) leading to muscle cramps, lethargy, nausea, headaches and in severe cases, death. Avoid concentrated drinks containing more than six-eight per cent carbohydrate (hypertonic), as these slow the rate at which fluid is absorbed, and can also cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Are carbohydrate energy drinks better than real foods?

From electrolyte gels to hydro tablets , our range of hydration supplements has been carefully designed to support your training. Whatever the intensity, we’ve got you covered.As a testament to this drink's easiness on the stomach, there was one time that I panic bought a tub at Decathlon the night before a 100km road race with no feed zone support. As a result, I went way over the recommended serving cramming 132g of carbohydrate into two 750ml bottles, so I had 260g plus a gel for the two hour race. The Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 gram of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 milligrams of Cognizin® to enhance information processing and 200 milligrams of caffeine with 200 milligrams of L-theanine, the amino acid which has been shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness, while reducing feelings of ‘jitters’ that you get with caffeine alone. USAGE: Consume 500ml of SiS GO Hydro 3-4 hours prior to your event with a further 250-500ml in the hours before starting. During exercise of a shorter length where carbohydrate intake is not necessary, consume 500 ml of SiS GO Hydro per hour. If aiming to combine hydration and energy delivery, consume SiS GO Electrolyte with the SiS GO Gel range. Remember, any change in your fuelling strategy should be tried and tested, so don’t make the switch on the day of a competition – work towards titrating your usage upwards from the standard 60g per hour. Everybody has an individual tolerance to caffeine. Consume too much caffeine and this could negatively affect performance, depending on the individual. We recommend not consuming over 300mg of caffeine during an event, although some individuals can tolerate more. It’s best to try-out your response to SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gels in training; as best practice use SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gels as your base and only take our caffeine based energy gels when you need a mental boost.

Ingesting carbohydrate during exercise also has positive effects on the central nervous system, which can provide an additional mental ‘boost’. How do I use carbohydrate energy drinks effectively? Take a 75mg caffeine gel one hour before you are due to finish training or racing to provide increased focusDuring exercise it is also easy to become dehydrated – electrolytes are naturally lost when you sweat, therefore the more you sweat, the more you lose. It is therefore important to preserve your bodies electrolyte balance through replenishing your supply. The GO Electrolyte Sports Fuel is the solution with high levels of sodium and other key electrolytes. It is well documented that both carbohydrate depletion and dehydration are two of the major causes of fatigue in endurance exercise. In addition to ensuring optimal carbohydrate stores and hydration status before exercise, delivering additional carbohydrate and fluid during exercise is known to improve performance, race times and delay the onset of fatigue. Common mistakes made by endurance athletes are to consume too much carbohydrate at inappropriate concentrations (such that it can not be readily absorbed) or too little carbohydrate at low concentrations which although will increase fluid delivery will compromise carbohydrate delivery. Lemon: Citric Acid, Electrolytes 37% (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Tricalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Carbonate), Sorbitol, Inulin, Green Tea Extract, Colour (Beetroot Red), Natural Flavouring, Elderberry Powder (2.3%), Starch, Sweetener (Sucralose), Vitamins (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin) As the body’s primary source of fuel during prolonged and high intensity exercise, depletion of muscle carbohydrate is one of the primary causes of fatigue, and can severely limit your ability to perform on longer rides.

Carbohydrate drinks are a convenient option, which have the added bonus of facilitating the replacement of fluid and electrolytes. Current recommendations to consume 30-60g of carbohydrate an hour during prolonged exercise are based on research showing that glucose absorption is capped at around one gram per minute (or 60g per hour), with studies showing that higher concentrations are simply not absorbed, and can result in stomach upset. Hydration drinks are a mix of water and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium) with little or no added carbohydrate, designed to replace the fluid and salts lost during exercise. Why use electrolyte / hydration drinks? Combine with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel range to achieve hourly 80-120g carbohydrate intake If you regularly partake in high-endurance exercise such as long distance running or cycling, you know that staying hydrated is key. Our range of hydration supplements includes all of the staple products you’ll need for long or warm exercise sessions, allowing you to sustain energy levels for long periods of time.The 150mg caffeine energy gel is designed for individuals who want to see the performance benefit from caffeine in a ‘double strength’ format. Unlike the 75mg gel, the 150mg provides a larger dose of caffeine and should be used when the individual needs a mental boost. It is recommended that this gel is taken towards the end of endurance exercise, with the caffeine effect lasting until the end. Beta Fuel gels can be used in combination with other products within the Beta Fuel range to allow you to devise the best fuelling solution for you For rides lasting over an hour, try swapping your usual sports drink or energy gelfor a 2:1 product to increase carbohydrate delivery from 60g to 90g per hour – this equates to 1,500ml of a drink, three gels or three bars. With multiple types of energy gels to choose from, we commonly get asked what type of energy gel you should use and when? So to help, we’ve put together an overview of the different types of energy gels available and when is best to use each during training or competition. If you do choose one, the rule of thumb is to start your ride well hydrated, and to adopt a regular pattern of drink intake, aiming for 125ml every 15 minutes. This will help to maintain fluid balance.
