Our Energy Drink Mix is the perfect way to stay hydrated and fuelled to meet your training, racing and game day demands. It also helps you recover faster, so you can get back out there doing your favourite activities for longer and more often.
Multiple Carbohydrates for Maximum Energy Boost and Gut Tolerance
ACTIVE VITA is the only drink mix formulated with 4 types of carbohydrates taking the glycaemic index (GI), carbohydrate glucose transporters and the 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio into consideration.
Fructose has a GI of about 25, sucrose about 65, glucose 100 and maltodextrin 115. This means they get digested at very different rates (slow to very fast). Using all 4 types of carbohydrates means you get slower to very fast absorbing carbohydrates. Therefore, meeting instant or longer term energy needs.
Unknowingly, some athletes may struggle to digest one of these types of carbohydrates. Therefore, with several other carbohydrates available in the drink mix they still get a hefty dose of energy delivered.
We stuck with the 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio, as fructose can be harder to digest. With the 1:0.8 ratio it means you are getting more fructose per dose, which may not sit well with a lot of athletes and cause gut issues.
With the above in mind, you may find it easier to consume higher doses with less gut issues.
Use the drink mix for shorter intense sessions or longer slower sessions. Either way, with the right dosage, you will get the best out of your effort – no more being held back by a lack of nutrition.
Optimal Electrolyte Concentration for Better Hydration, Less Cramps, and Less Time Mixing Products
Staying hydrated is essential, especially for those sessions where you are breaking a sweat. The hotter, more humid, and longer the session, the more important hydration becomes to reduce the chances of dehydration.
When sweating you are losing electrolytes i.e., Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium.
Higher than most fuel-based sports drinks and accommodating the sodium needs of the majority of athletes out there, our 900mg of Sodium per litre (1,800mg per litre if you are double dossing) will help replenish your Sodium fast. This helps maintain and improve hydration, which in turn can help with thermoregulation, reduce cardiovascular strain, prevent dehydration and possibly cramping. With these levels of Sodium, it’s unlikely you will need additional salt or electrolyte tablets for most part of your training and even racing.
Glutamine, Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) for Fast Recovery , Less Soreness, and Muscle Sparing
We added Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) as during exercise, our body can break down muscle and use it as a fuel source. The BCAAs therefore, help minimize potential muscle damage from exercise, reduce creatine kinase levels (an enzyme released when muscle tissue is damaged), and reduce perceived muscle soreness.
BCAAs also help improve muscle protein synthesises, and net protein balance. BCAAs are the most effective proteins to rebuild muscle and using them in a 2:1:1 ratio, further enhances their protein synthesis capabilities. Adding them to the drink mix means you start the recovery process early with less soreness after the session making you ready for the next.
Our goal is to offer you a potent, hydrating, energising, and well-balanced sports drink mix to keep your performance at its best.
- Can be used pre exercise session if you are short on time and need a quick boost or if you suffer from a nervous tummy before the starting line or game day.
- Use it as an all-in-one during your activity to rapidly replace your energy and keep on going.
- It can also be used post training to rapidly replace your used up energy stores. It’s ideal to use to refuel for those back to back sessions or where time is limited to refuel.
- Has multiple carbohydrate types in the 2:1 ratio to optimise energy delivery and absorption with minimal gut issues.
- 1 serving (2 scoops) mixed with 500 ml water gives you 30g of carbohydrates (6% solution), 450 mg Sodium (900 mg per 1 litre).
- Helps maintain hydration, reduce dehydration and cramping.
- Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) at a 2:1:1 ratio to aid muscle recovery.
- All-natural ingredients and flavours that are light on the palate.
- Easy to mix and adjust dosage based on your fuelling preferences and tolerances.
- Proudly formulated and manufactured in Singapore – We know what you need to replenish in the heat & humidity.
- Each large bag has about 15 servings per bag.
- We designed this formula with light flavours to be mixed at varying strengths based on your hydration and fuelling needs.
- You can use it as a hydration drink with 1 scoop in 500ml / 17 oz water giving you 15g carbohydrates (3% solution), 225 mg Sodium, and 60 calories.
- Or use it as a fuel replacing drink with 2 or more scoops in 500ml / 17 oz water giving you 30g carbohydrates (6% solution), 450 mg Sodium, and 120 calories or more.
- Optimal fuelling levels during exercise range from 45g – 90g (3 – 6 scoops) carbohydrates per hour depending on the activity, duration, intensity and your tolerance. Consider larger water bottles with larger doses, e.g. 4 scoops in 750ml / 25 oz water is 8% solution, which tends to be ideal for fuelling.
- Use ¼ - ½ scoop size increments to increase dosage over time as your tolerance increases.
- Store in a cool dry place. If conditions are humid consider popping it into a zip lock bag, tight container or the fridge (tends to be best).
