HIGH5 Energy Drink Tropical | carbohydrate-electrolyte powder

HIGH5 Energy Drink Tropical 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 smooth, well-rounded tropical flavor. 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 at once and can absorb up to approximately 90g of carbohydrates per hour. For up to two hours of exercise, 30 to 60g per hour is the norm; beyond that, it's helpful 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 roughly 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 quantities 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.

Tropical and the rest of the range

Tropical is the sweetest flavor in the range, an accessible choice for those who prefer less acidic drinks. The drink is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and contains no artificial sweeteners or colorings. 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 pedaling.
