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. We’ve been meticulous with this and, after testing the best raw materials, created a product that dissolves perfectly into a translucent and stable beverage within one minute. It stays stable for hours or even days.

It only has a faint sweetness from the fructose. It contains no flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, or any other additives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Sport Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"47 g Sachet \/ Neutral","offer_id":54153069101398,"sku":"M.HYPERDRINK45","price":2.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box (10 Single Servings) \/ Neutral","offer_id":54153069134166,"sku":"107.5.C","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"846 g Tub \/ 18 Servings \/ Neutral","offer_id":54153069166934,"sku":"107.5","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/8666\/3766\/files\/107.5.C_HyperDrink_45_Neutral_Box_Image_1.jpg?v=1781084428","url":"https:\/\/crownsportnutrition.com\/en\/products\/hyperdrink-45-bebida-muy-alta-en-hidratos-de-carbono","provider":"Crown Sport Nutrition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
