Studies show that in prolonged exercise, using carbohydrates absorbed via different intestinal transporters (GLUT) is the only way to increase the assimilation and oxidation rate of exogenous carbohydrates beyond 60 g\/hour (Currell, K. et al., MSSE. 2008; Earnest, C.P. et al., JSCR. 2004). Research indicates that combining a glucose source (maltodextrin) with fructose is ideal.\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use the 1.25:1 (1:0.8) ratio instead of 2:1 or others?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because recent research shows that this ratio achieves the \u003cu\u003emaximum oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates\u003c\/u\u003e, ensuring \u003cu\u003emaximum energy efficiency\u003c\/u\u003e from consumed carbs. This is crucial when high carbohydrate intake is required in small fluid volumes (90 g \/ 500 ml), ensuring most of it (74% efficiency) is converted into energy without causing gastrointestinal distress (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2015).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003eADVANTAGES OF MALTODEXTRIN IN A HIGH-CARBOHYDRATE DRINK\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003eScientific literature shows maltodextrin is the best source when seeking high efficiency in glucose use, especially for high-carb intakes in small volumes. It allows higher oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other glucose sources like cyclodextrin (Cluster Dextrin®) or isomaltulose (Palatinose®). While Cluster Dextrin® may help reduce gastrointestinal issues due to osmotic properties, it lacks evidence of higher energy efficiency. Isomaltulose contains both glucose and fructose but shows 41% lower energy efficiency than sucrose (Achten, J. et al., JN. 2007).\u003cbr\/\u003e Also, maltodextrin’s larger molecular size reduces the mixture's osmolality, minimizing gastrointestinal distress during heavy carbohydrate intake (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022).\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c\/strong\u003e: While glucose and maltodextrin have similar energy efficiency, maltodextrin is better osmotically. It also contributes less sweetness, which is preferred in this product.\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e For high-carb products consumed during exercise, the goal is maximum energy efficiency and minimal gastrointestinal issues. Current research confirms this is achieved only by combining Maltodextrin and Fructose in a \u003cstrong\u003e1.25:1 ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \u003cstrong\u003e1:0.8\u003c\/strong\u003e) (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003eSODIUM IN HYPERDRINK 90 HIGH-CARBOHYDRATE DRINK\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo complete the formula, we added \u003cstrong\u003esea salt\u003c\/strong\u003e as a source of \u003cstrong\u003eSodium (Na)\u003c\/strong\u003e.

These are necessary because it has been shown that carbohydrate intake during sports improves performance (Cermak, N.M. et al., SM. 2.013; Pochmuller, M. et al., JISSN. 2.016). In addition, recent research has shown that a high carbohydrate intake during sports practice, especially of long duration (\u0026gt; 2.5 h), improves neuromuscular function (Urdampilleta, A et al.

Also branched amino acids are highly oxidized by the muscle, that is, they are used as a source of energy decreasing the utilization of glycogen in favor of fats. In addition, the intake of these amino acids during exercise reduces the Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), that is, it reduces the production of Serotonin (neurotransmitter related to the symptoms of tiredness and mood) (Kerksick, C.M. et al., JISSN. 2008).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArginine:\u003c\/strong\u003e This amino acid, besides being a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO), reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity.

It has been shown that in prolonged exercise the use of carbohydrates that are absorbed in the intestine by different transporters (known as GLUT) is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g\/hour. (Currell, K. et al., MSSE. 2008; Earnest, C.P. et al., JSCR. 2004).

Using it we achieve the maximum oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other sources of glucose such as cyclodextrin (Cluster Dextrin®) or isomaltulose (Palatinose®).\u003cbr\/\u003e Cyclodextrin or highly branched cyclic dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®, as the most recognized patent) seems interesting at the osmotic level to avoid possible intestinal discomfort, but at the level of energy efficiency, to date there is no scientific evidence to show that it is better.\u003cbr\/\u003e Isomaltulose (Palatinose®, as the most recognized patent), on the one hand, is a source of glucose and fructose, so it is not purely a source of glucose, but apart from that, on the other hand, studies have shown that its energy efficiency is lower compared to other carbohydrates (41% lower vs sucrose, for example) (Achten, J.et al., JN. 2007), that is, part of what is consumed is not used as an energy source ( always within the context of taking during sports practice), so it does not seem very logical to take a carbohydrate that part of it is not going to be used to provide us with energy, which is just what we are looking for when consuming this type of product.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApart from its high energy efficiency, previously mentioned, using maltodextrin instead of using glucose as its own glucose source also has to do with the fact that the use of this ingredient\u003cu\u003eis more favorable at the osmotic level\u003c\/u\u003ebecause it is a larger molecule, which decreases the osmolality of the mixture and this minimizes the possible gastrointestinal discomfort that can occur with high carbohydrate intake during physical exertion (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022).\u003cbr\/\u003e The \u003cb\u003econclusion\u003c\/b\u003e is that at the level of energy efficiency both glucose and maltodextrin are similar, so we could use either of the 2, but at the osmotic level (to avoid gastrointestinal problems) the use of maltodextrin is more favourable. Also, for\u003cu\u003eorganoleptic nuances\u003c\/u\u003e, the maltodextrin hardly adds flavor, while the glucose is sweeter, something that in this case we did not want.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs a summary and as a conclusion about the carbohydrates used\u003c\/b\u003e, within the framework of products with a high concentration of carbohydrates to be taken during exercise, the most important thing is that the energy efficiency of the exogenous carbohydrates consumed is maximum and that gastrointestinal problems are minimized and, according to science, a Today, this is only achieved by combining these 2 carbohydrate sources (Maltodextrin\/Fructose) and in the mentioned proportions of\u003cb\u003e1.25:1\u003c\/b\u003e(more commonly known as\u003cb\u003e1:0.8\u003c\/b\u003e) (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo complete the formula we have added it as a contribution of the mineral \u003cb\u003eSodium (Na)\u003c\/b\u003e, sodium chloride in the form of \u003cb\u003eSea salt\u003c\/b\u003e.

Research shows that during prolonged exercise, using carbohydrates absorbed via different intestinal transporters (SLGT-1 and GLUT) is the only way to increase the absorption and oxidation rate of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g\/hour (Currell, K. et al., MSSE. 2008; Earnest, C.P. et al., JSCR. 2004). The ideal combination is a glucose source (maltodextrin) with fructose.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy combine them in a 1.25:1 (1:0.8) ratio instead of the classic 2:1 or others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecent studies have shown that this ratio achieves \u003cem\u003emaximum exogenous carbohydrate oxidation\u003c\/em\u003e, i.e., the \u003cem\u003ehighest energy efficiency\u003c\/em\u003e from consumed carbs. This is crucial when consuming a high carbohydrate load in a small liquid volume (40 g \/ 500 ml) to ensure most of it (74% efficiency) is used for energy production without causing gastrointestinal discomfort (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2015).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use maltodextrin as the glucose source and not another?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccording to current scientific literature, maltodextrin appears to be the best option for efficiently using exogenous glucose, especially when high carbohydrate intake is needed in small volumes. It provides superior oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other sources like cyclodextrin (Cluster Dextrin®) or isomaltulose (Palatinose®). Although cyclodextrin is osmotically appealing for reducing gastrointestinal discomfort, it lacks scientific evidence of better energy efficiency. Isomaltulose is a glucose-fructose source and not purely glucose-based, and studies show it has lower energy efficiency (41% less vs. sucrose) (Achten, J. et al., JN. 2007), meaning part of it isn’t used for energy production—counterproductive in a sports context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eMaltodextrin vs glucose\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeyond its high energy efficiency, maltodextrin has a \u003cem\u003ebetter osmotic profile\u003c\/em\u003e due to its larger molecule size, lowering the osmolality of the mix and reducing gastrointestinal distress during intense exercise (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022). \u003cstrong\u003eIn summary\u003c\/strong\u003e, both glucose and maltodextrin are equally efficient energetically, but maltodextrin is better tolerated. Additionally, for \u003cem\u003eorganoleptic reasons\u003c\/em\u003e, maltodextrin has a neutral taste, unlike the sweetness of glucose, which was not desired here.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo conclude on the chosen carbohydrates:\u003c\/strong\u003e For high-carb products consumed during exercise, the top priorities are energy efficiency and minimal gastrointestinal issues. This is only achieved by combining maltodextrin and fructose in a \u003cstrong\u003e1.25:1 ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e (commonly 1:0.8) (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022). To complete the formula, we’ve added \u003cstrong\u003esodium (Na)\u003c\/strong\u003e via sea salt. Sodium is the most important electrolyte lost in sweat and is essential for hydration during exercise (Panel NDA. EFSA Journal. 2011). The quantity added is within the optimal range for enhanced water and carb absorption in the intestine (Shi, X. et al., IJSNEM. 2010; O'Brien, W.J. \u0026amp; Rowlands, D.S., AJPGLP. 2011).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect dissolution!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany high-carb drinks on the market struggle with solubility, resulting in unstable mixtures over time.

Identified mechanisms include the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α). \u003cstrong\u003eIn sports\u003c\/strong\u003e this appears to lessen the intensity of post-exercise muscle soreness, i.e., delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), thereby supporting recovery (Rosińska-Lewandowska, D. et al., JEHS, 2024; Liu, X. et al., PO, 2024). For the same reason it may help protect the joints. More generally, it has analgesic effects and is often used as a natural alternative to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), both for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions—serving as an alternative approach in various chronic inflammatory conditions (arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, psoriasis, etc.).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntioxidant effect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps protect cells against oxidative damage by, on the one hand, helping to eliminate ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) (Nanavati, K. et al., EJN, 2022) and, on the other, by boosting the activity of the body’s own antioxidant enzymes (Alam, M.S. et al., P., 2024).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImmunomodulatory effect:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps maintain normal immune function; for example, in patients with autoimmune diseases it helps reduce systemic inflammation (Alam, M.S. et al., P., 2024).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects on neurodegenerative disorders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Such as Alzheimer’s disease (Yang, F. et al., JBC, 2005). Curcumin can cross the blood–brain barrier in small but biologically active amounts, where it mitigates neural inflammation by suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines—which, as noted, are often elevated in response to injury and the accumulation of amyloid plaques (Fernández-Lázaro, D. et al., N., 2020). Notably, curcumin supplementation has also been associated with mood improvement in people with major depressive disorder (Alam, M.S. et al., P., 2024), highlighting its potential neuroprotective and psychotropic properties.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey benefits of Ginger\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-inflammatory:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a plant in the turmeric family, many of its properties are similar, and it also has a significant anti-inflammatory action. In athletes it reduces DOMS-related pain, improving recovery. This analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect appears to be cumulative, so continued use is recommended both in the days before and after a competition or during phases of the season with intense training peaks (Christopher Black, D. et al., TJOP, 2010).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntioxidant effect and immune support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Being rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, it helps modulate systemic inflammation and oxidative stress generated by intense exercise.

In such cases, small doses of ginger can help settle the stomach (Nguyen Hoang Anh et al., N., 2020).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey benefits of Black Pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt is mainly added because it improves the absorption of certain bioactive compounds that naturally have low bioavailability, such as curcumin. This is chiefly because it inhibits hepatic metabolism and slows breakdown in the digestive tract, which can increase systemic absorption by up to 2,000% (Rosińska-Lewandowska, D. et al., JEHS, 2024).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdding an active such as piperine can enhance and sustain the positive effects of curcumin.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy use the combination of these three extracts?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause they act synergistically, amplifying the effects each has on its own. In fact, some studies have shown that consuming these three herbal extracts, compared to drugs such as naproxen (an NSAID), can improve PGE2 (Prostaglandin E2) levels in patients with chronic osteoarthritis to a similar extent as the drug mentioned (Heidari-Beni, M. et al., PR, 2020). Adding ginger to a turmeric-and-piperine blend has been shown to further promote vasodilation and enhance anti-inflammatory effects (Hegde, M. et al., AO, 2023).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConclusions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe available scientific evidence suggests that oral curcumin supplementation may positively influence both health and physical performance in athletes and\/or physically active people. Curcumin appears to be safe and potentially beneficial in the context of sport and exercise, mainly due to its ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, lessen pain and muscle damage, and thereby improve muscle recovery and support both physiological and psychological responses to training. These effects may contribute to improved athletic performance and overall training adaptability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecommended for all types of people—especially those with chronic inflammatory conditions who wish to improve their health as much as possible while minimizing drug intake and, consequently, potential side effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eConcentrated Turmeric extract (Curcuma longa, root), corn starch, concentrated Ginger extract (Zingiber officinale, root), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule, concentrated Black Pepper extract (Piper nigrum, fruit), anti-caking agent: Anti-caking agent magnesium stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDirections for use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTake one capsule per day or as directed by your physician or nutritionist.
