Aromhuset Drink Mix For Fitness Drinks
Amateur or professional athlete alike must ensure they’re sufficiently fueled and hydrated during workouts. Sports drinks typically contain carbohydrates, electrolytes and water in a ratio designed to provide fuel, delay fatigue during exercise and prevent dehydration; but too frequent consumption could increase gastrointestinal distress.
Alternative: Make Your Own Sports Drink (Hydration Drink). With readily available ingredients and some tweaking, you can create an energy drink that closely mirrors the carb, sodium and electrolyte profiles found in mainstream drinks such as Tailwind or Skratch Labs – saving both money and sugar while simultaneously improving nutrition. This option offers several distinct advantages!
When creating your own fitness drink at home, it is crucial that you understand the optimal ratio between carbs and sodium for running. There is a science to this, and getting it wrong could cause digestive distress during your workout or explain why some flavors or brands of products cause issues while others do not.
Maurten has recently introduced an alternative energy drink using an innovative alginate technology to encapsulate carb-based energy mixes, bypassing stomach acid and reaching the small intestine where carbohydrates can be quickly absorbed. Our Consumer Panel tested it and found it suitable for lower intensity exercise days; however, some testers thought that it lacked flavor and was costly.
