Energy Drink 2.2kg for Endurance Fuel and Easy Workout Support
HIGH5 Energy Drink delivers 44g of carbohydrates, 175kcal and 240mg sodium per 47g serving, with 18g of sugars from a 2:1 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. The 2.2kg tub provides 46 servings. Designed specifically for endurance athletes training or competing for more than 75 minutes.
The 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio is the formula's defining feature: the intestine uses separate transporter proteins for glucose (SGLT-1) and fructose (GLUT-5), which allows total carbohydrate absorption to reach up to 90g per hour when both transporters are active simultaneously. Single-source glucose-only drinks are limited to approximately 60g per hour by the SGLT-1 transporter alone. For endurance athletes at high intensity this difference in oxidation rate can directly affect performance over two or more hours of continuous effort.
HIGH5 has built its product range around this dual-carb approach and the 2:1 ratio is cited extensively in sports nutrition research. The 2.2kg format is designed for clubs, training groups and athletes who cycle or run in high volume - 46 servings at a tub covers approximately six to eight weeks of regular training use. The sodium content at 240mg per serving also contributes to electrolyte replacement during prolonged sweat exposure.
Built for endurance athletes - cyclists, runners, triathletes and rowers - training or racing for over 75 minutes where carbohydrate delivery rate becomes a performance limiter. Not designed for short gym sessions or general daily hydration. May contain traces of milk, gluten and egg.
Alternative: Efectiv Nutrition Carb Powder 500g (19g carbs at 76kcal per 20g serving, dextrose-fructose blend) delivers 19g dextrose-fructose per 20g scoop at a peer-tier intra-training carb source.
