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) Most sports science studies agree that dehydration can have a negative impact on performance (basically, you get tired sooner), and that drinking the correct amount of water helps avoid this. But after that, there's a divergence regarding electrolytes. Some studies show that replacing the electrolytes lost via sweat helps further improve performance, and avoid cramp. Other studies show that you don't need extra electrolytes, and that drinking water is enough. 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. Additionally, dehydration is another key problem for athletes. When exercising electrolytes are lost through sweating and this is the cause of dehydration. It is therefore important to replenish your electrolyte reserves – which can be easily done with the sodium and other 3 key electrolytes included in the GO Electrolyte drink.Flavoured beverages increase your desire to drink, and fluid consumption is more closely matched to sweat loss when athletes are offered a flavoured drink over plain water during exercise. In hot and humid conditions they’re an effective way to maintain adequate hydration, although during longer rides you’ll need to consider a carbohydrate source. In addition researchers found that the glucose/fructose drink spared the body’s stored carbohydrate, improved water uptake from the gut and reduced the rate of perceived exertion. More recently, researchers at Birmingham University simulating a one-hour time trial after two hours of riding found an eight per cent improvement in performance when using glucose/fructose beverage, compared to a glucose-only drink. How do I use 2:1 fructose drinks effectively? The thing is, whilst pacing is also an important aspect to managing your energy levels, the most fundamental point is ensuring you're consuming the right cycling nutrition.

Cola: Citric Acid, Electrolytes 37% (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Tricalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Carbonate), Sorbitol, Inulin, Natural Flavouring, Starch, Caffeine (75mg), Colour (Caramel E150d), Maltodextrin, Sweetener (Sucralose), Vitamins (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamin Hydrochloride) 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? During rides lasting over 60 minutes, consuming 30-60g of carbohydrate per hour will delay fatigue and help you sustain an optimum pace. One litre of an isotonic carbohydrate drink will provide around 60g of carbohydrate – so aim for around 250ml every 15-20 minutes. This ‘double strength’ Go Energy + Caffeine Gel is based on the same formula as the innovative SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel, with the addition of 150mg caffeine; double the caffeine for performance, in one gel. Carbohydrate foods do contain a mix of sugars (bananas provide glucose and fructose in a 1:1 ratio), so you could experiment with different sources, although getting 90g of carb in the all-important 2:1 ratio will require some maths. Electrolyte / hydration drinks What are electrolyte / hydration drinks?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.

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 The middle way claims that the electrolytes in the fluid, even if not actually needed, still encourage you to drink the correct amount and stay hydrated. The final argument claims that it's the taste of hydration products, rather than the electrolytes, that encourage you to drink - because it's nicer than boring old water. Bear in mind that to achieve the stated 90g an hour, you'd need to get through two servings - so either a concentrated mix, or two bottles an hour. Are 2:1 fructose drinks better than real foods? An advanced range of sports drinks, powders, bars and gels containing a blend of carbohydrate in a 2:1 ratio of glucose to fructose with added electrolytes. Why use 2:1 fructose drinks? Our Energy + Caffeine (75mg) Energy Gel is based on the same formula as the innovative SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel, with the addition of 75mg caffeine. Caffeine is one of the most researched stimulants in sports science and has been shown to increase alertness and concentration, which may benefit endurance and sprint based performance.

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. 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? High levels of simple sugars will have an adverse effect on blood glucose levels. Maintaining blood glucose levels is a key component in sports performance, but it also has a bearing on other issues such as dental hygiene and overall health.’
