HyperDrink 45<\/strong> is a high-quality isotonic sports drink with an ideal composition of carbohydrates and sodium, essential nutrients for improving performance during both long-duration and high-intensity training and competitions. A single 500 ml serving provides 45 g of carbohydrates and an extra dose of sodium (approx. 235 mg).<\/p>\n HyperDrink 45<\/strong> contains the ideal mix of maltodextrin<\/strong> and fructose<\/strong> in a 1.25:1 ratio<\/strong> (commonly known as 1:0.8), which is scientifically supported. 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.<\/p>\n Recent studies have shown that this ratio achieves maximum exogenous carbohydrate oxidation<\/em>, i.e., the highest energy efficiency<\/em> 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).<\/p>\n According 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\u00ae) or isomaltulose (Palatinose\u00ae). 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\u2019t used for energy production\u2014counterproductive in a sports context.<\/p>\n Beyond its high energy efficiency, maltodextrin has a better osmotic profile<\/em> 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). In summary<\/strong>, both glucose and maltodextrin are equally efficient energetically, but maltodextrin is better tolerated. Additionally, for organoleptic reasons<\/em>, maltodextrin has a neutral taste, unlike the sweetness of glucose, which was not desired here.<\/p>\n To conclude on the chosen carbohydrates:<\/strong> 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 1.25:1 ratio<\/strong> (commonly 1:0.8) (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2022). To complete the formula, we\u2019ve added sodium (Na)<\/strong> 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. & Rowlands, D.S., AJPGLP. 2011).<\/p>\n Many high-carb drinks on the market struggle with solubility, resulting in unstable mixtures over time. We\u2019ve 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. Once dissolved, it looks like water!<\/p>\n For maximum energy efficiency and minimal gastrointestinal impact, we developed a high-purity, flavorless product. It only has a faint sweetness from the fructose. It contains no flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, or any other additives.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drink with 45 g of carbohydrates in 500 ml of water and 235 mg of sodium.
