    With high intensity, I'll be hitting the carbs and caffeine!

    Corinne Shalvoy, Ultramarthoner | Commentator | Podcast Host | Coach | Community Builder

    For high carb, high sodium, and caffeine, this is great. I love that they use green tea extract for the caffeine which can be easier on the gut than synthetic caffeine additives.

    Shelby Farrell, Athlete. Marketing Professional. Cat Mom.

    I love how easy the math is: 100g carbs, 1000mg sodium, 100mg caffeine. Let’s gooo. As someone who definitely appreciates a caffeinated product, this stuff hits. The flavor is mellow enough that flavor fatigue never becomes an issue, even deep into an effort. I’ve been doing one scoop per 500ml flask so far, but I could absolutely see myself two-scoopin’ it for harder days out there.

    Mary Tyler, Baby Ultrarunner

    After trying a lot of different drink mixes, this is the one that stuck. A super easy way to get extra carbs and sodium on board between gels/food - no flavor fatigue since it's just mildly sweet, and doesn't upset my stomach. I take one bottle of this on all my long runs and know that my fueling is gonna be locked in.

    Low on carbs? This will fuel you before, during and after your runs!
