MildlyWild Posted February 17, 2017 Share Jip, half sachet Game, little rehidrate or Himalayan crystal salt (and a teaspoon Whey Proteien if its a looong ride)I eventually figured out its only my fitness level that determines any race's outcome...Per 750ml bottle, depending on the temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamA Posted February 17, 2017 Share Guys, please be careful for a lot of these so called 'energy drinks'! A number of them contain Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). Dihydrogen monoxide:is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.contributes to the "greenhouse effect".may cause severe burns.contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:as an industrial solvent and coolant.in nuclear power plants.in the production of styrofoam.as a fire retardant.in many forms of cruel animal research.in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products. I nearly died last year after too much exposure to Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). the Stuff should be made illegal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristand Posted February 17, 2017 Share It is a bit of an open question. It is really going to depend on what sort of training or racing you are doing. For a 3 hour training ride you can use just about any energy drink or mix up your own. All the fancy science drinks really make no difference in that sort of scenario. However, if you are doing a 5 day stage race then added extras like proteins, etc in the drink have a role to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted February 17, 2017 Share Please share said evidence As a start, the 1st paragraph you copied contradicts a lot of the scientific papers they reference later on; or should I rather say their interpretation of the papers is based on very selective reading of such papers. Perhaps read at least the abstracts of the papers they list, but be mindful that the most recent publication (2008) they list is already borderline outdated.
