HIGH5 Energy Drink Citrus | Carbohydrate-Electrolyte Powder

HIGH5 Energy Drink Citrus for long endurance efforts

An isotonic sports drink powder for rides and races where water alone isn't enough. Each bottle provides 44g of carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio plus sodium and potassium, in a fresh, slightly tangy citrus flavour. For cyclists, runners, and triathletes who plan their nutrition as seriously as their training.

How 2:1 carbohydrates allow for up to 90g per hour

Glucose enters the intestine via a transporter that saturates around 60g per hour; fructose uses its own pathway. Since this drink combines maltodextrin and fructose in a 2:1 ratio, you use both pathways simultaneously and can absorb up to about 90g of carbohydrates per hour. For efforts up to two hours, 30 to 60g per hour is the norm; beyond that, it's beneficial to aim higher. Carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions contribute to the maintenance of endurance performance during prolonged endurance exercise.

Isotonic: energy and hydration from the same bottle

Isotonic means that the drink has approximately the same concentration of particles as body fluids. It therefore leaves the stomach quickly, and you absorb fluid and energy at the same time. Per 500ml bottle, you receive 240mg of sodium, the mineral you lose most through sweat, along with smaller amounts of potassium and chloride. Carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions also enhance the absorption of water during physical exercise. If you sweat a lot, add a ZERO Neutral tablet without changing the taste.

Citrus and the rest of the range

Citrus has a fresh, slightly tangy taste that is well suited for intense efforts and warm conditions. The drink is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and contains no artificial sweeteners or colours. In a 2.2kg tub, it lasts for 46 bottles; sachets are available for on the go.

HIGH5 has been making nutrition for endurance athletes since 1994, and this isotonic drink has been part of the peloton's equipment for years. Prepare, drink, keep pedalling.
