A cynical comment would be IMHO that a lot of Sports drink manufactures think we base our choice of drink on Price, if it is more then is must be better !! I do not see where the Price is in some of the upper end drinks ?? Would like to see some justification from these suppliers .....

Yes, I use a mix of Maltrodextrin 35g, Fructose 10g (Optional), Vanilla Whey protein 10g, tsp Salt and a little Energade for Flavour to a bottle, done an IronMan on the mix. Maltrodextrin is a pure complex carb with a low GI, you can work on 4Cal to 1gram Maltrodextrin. Mix is very cheap as 2 Kg Maltrodextrin is approx R30. Was a great fan of GU2O, but as Maltrodextrin is the main ingredient, didn't feel much difference... Warwick

Have a look at homemade mixtures, http://www.jibbering.com/sports/drinks.html, most drinks are made from Maltrodextrin...
