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

Product Information

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. Studies show that consumption of a carbohydrate drink during rides lasting over 60 minutes is an effective way to boost endurance. By providing the working muscles with additional fuel you can delay fatigue, with some research suggesting up to a 20 per cent improvement in performance during exercise lasting 90 minutes or more. 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. Combine with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel range to achieve hourly 80-120g carbohydrate intake

Generally speaking, a specific hydration product isn’t necessary if you’re riding for under an hour, but they can be useful in maintaining hydration in hot conditions, or if sweat loss is high. As such, I can only say how well I think it works, and get the details behind the product from the people who make it. 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? As core temperature rises during exercise the body compensates by sweating, creating a loss of water and electrolytes, with additional water lost via respiration. Although the body can cope with small changes in fluid volume, large sweat losses can lead to dehydration, which results in impaired performance, increased heart rate, reduced heat tolerance and lower reaction times. 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.Depending on your sport or event, you should aim to consume 2-3 gels every hour during exertion to reach an 80g-120g target intake The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is optimised with a brand new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrate of maltodextrin to fructose, increasing the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% when compared with a ratio of 2:1 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. This GO Energy + Electrolyte Gel is designed to provide 22g of carbohydrate for fast energy as well as key electrolytes for hydration. Electrolytes are lost through sweating and need to be replaced to help prevent a drop in performance from the negative effects of dehydration. Electrolytes also help absorb and retain fluid in the body so that it’s used more effectively. This gel should be especially used during exercise undertaken in higher temperatures. USAGE: Science In Sport has had a maltodextrin developed especially for it, meaning the company can specify the molecular weight and the length of the carbohydrate molecules.

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. In the end, it comes down to personal preference. On that basis, and from my own experience, I recommend trying these Go Hydro tablets. If you like the taste, and if you feel it helps you drink a bit more, which in turn helps keep you cycling further or faster (or just helps you enjoy tootling around), then it's well worth dropping a tab in your bottle before you set out.If you’re exercising for under 90 minutes or taking part in high intensity, interval based exercise, consume this gel 15 minutes before for maximum effect 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. Add 1 SiS GO Hydro tablet to 500ml of water and let it dissolve. Once prepared consume within 24 hours. Do not consume more than 4 tablets per day. 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.

I have tried all flavours on this list and, with the exception of orange, found them all easily digestible, although the orange flavouring felt a bit heavy in the mouth. 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? One final point: Go Hydro is not an energy product. There is no carbohydrate content and virtually no calories. In this respect it's the same as High5's Zero drink and the similarly-titled Nectar Hydro tabs. 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.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. Use this gel in combination with other SiS GO products to take in 60g of carbohydrate per hour for exercise lasting over 90 minutes. Fuelling every 20 minutes with a gel is a simple way to hit this carbohydrate target and keep performance at its peak with enough readily available energy for the body to perform

Our GO Isotonic Energy Gel is simply 22g of carbohydrate from our selected source of maltodextrin. This creates an isotonic formula, which causes minimal stomach discomfort during exercise, but with maximum energy absorption. USAGE: 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) When you exercise, your core body temperature increases and your body sweats to cool you down and prevent overheating. Adequate hydration ensures that you replace the water lost while sweating and is integral in preventing cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. There is a body known as Informed-Sport, and what they do is batch test products against the WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency] banned list,’ says Samuels. The Go powder is a mixture of maltodextrin, a carbohydrate that is absorbed rapidly as glucose for easy energy, and electrolytes, which are salts that help with water absorption for hydration and the prevention of cramps.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. SiS Go Electrolyte is designed for those long endurance efforts that really call for carbohydrate fuelling during exercise,’ says Ben Samuels, performance nutritionist at Sceince In Sport. The depletion of your carbohydrate stores are the leading causes of fatigue during exercise. It is therefore important to have a continuous source of carbohydrate during training and races – to help improve performance, surpass your personal best, and to delay the effects of fatigue. The GO Electrolyte drinks powder provides the perfect level of fast-absorbing carbohydrate to keep you powering through. From our classic energy powder to electrolyte powders that boost hydration and Turbo+ isotonic powders, you’ll find the right product to maintain your energy reserves and take your workout to the next level.
