Formulated for all training and competition 5 hours+ in duration, where you need sustained energy delivery and help maintain muscle strength.

Advanced 4:1:1 scientifically formulated tri source energy with protein, L-Carnitine, BCAA, Beta Alanine and a higher electrolyte level for optimum hydration and performance during ultra distance training and competition.
At this low level of protein, gastric emptying is not slowed. The quick digestion and absorption of protein provides branched chain amino acids, which stops the muscle protein itself being burnt up for energy (overtraining). It also increases the insulin response, which drives the carbohydrate into the muscles. This blend can provide 24% - 28% greater increase in endurance than carbohydrate only drinks, and 57% greater than water alone. The addition of fructose as an energy source also adds to the amount of carbohydrates the body can absorb. The protein source is clear whey protein isolate hydrolysate. This avoids the problem of milkshake texture and reflux, and gives rapid release of intact amino acids.
The inclusion of L-Carnitine has also been found to increase endurance, and workout volume by delaying muscle fatigue, increasing oxygen uptake, and reducing lactic acid build-up. Moreover, carnitine can improve blood flow and plays a pivotal role in muscle protein balance, reducing post workout muscle soreness. L-carnitine also allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance due to the metabolic process of using fat as a fuel source.
BCAA’s have been shown to contribute up to 10% of total energy during aerobic activity (i.e. running, cycling, swimming). BCAAs also work to prevent muscle breakdown during exercise, and when your glycogen stores run low, BCAAs are used for fuel.
Beta-alanine improves athletic performance by reducing fatigue, increasing endurance and boosting performance in high-intensity exercises. Beta-alanine is proven to be a supplement that effectively delays the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
The 4:1:1 formula is made up of complex carbohydrate and protein formula plus L-Carnitine, BCAA & Beta Alanine...
- Tri Carb Maltodextrin, dextrose and fructose for maximum carbohydrate delivery
- Clear whey protein isolate to aid energy delivery and stop muscle catabolism
- L-Carnitine to increase endurance and delay muscle fatigue
- BCAAs to prevent muscle breakdown during exercise
- Beta-alanine to reduce fatigue and buffer lactate in the muscles
- Electrolytes to aid fluid regulation, muscle contractions and body PH levels.

Nutritional Info
- Serving suggestion : 40g-80g / 500ml water
- Drink 500ml every 45-60 mins 1 scoop =30g
- Adapt amount to your requirements, A general rule is to take on one gram of carbohydrate per kilo of bodyweight, per hour for a 70.3 event. This would equate to approximately 75 grams of carbohydrate per hour for a 75 kilo rider. For shorter and longer events adjust by 10% up or down.
