Energy Source 4:1 is designed for use during endurance exercise and contains 4 parts carbohydrate to 1 part protein. Reseach has shown that this ratio can provide endurance athletes with more energy than carbohydrate alone and that protein protects muscles from being broken down and used as fuel during endurance training and competition. EnergySource 4:1 contains High 5's High Electrolyte Anti Cramping formula , which is designed to maximise fluid uptake and minimise the onset of cramp.
Research from Glasgow University showed that riders using EnergySource 4:1 during the 8-day trans Alp MTB race were on average 10% faster than matched athletes using a leading sports drink containing just carbohydrates.
Further research from Maastricht University showed that compared to a carbohydrate only drink, consuming a protein and carbohydrate drink lowered that rate of protein breakdown during hard exercise by 26% and raised protein synthesis (muscle building) by 33%.
This 1.6kg tub will make 34 servings when mixed at High 5's recommended concentration of 50g per 500ml.
Recommended Usage
For use during exercise mix one sachet into 500ml of water and drink 500ml to 1000ml per hour. For recovery after exercise aim to drink 500ml to 750ml immediately after exercise completes.
