HIGH5 Energy Drink

Product description HIGH5 Energy Drink

ENERGY DRINK

A high-octane, high-energy fuel enriched with essential minerals (Na, K) in alkalizing citrate forms (pH stabilization), designed for active and professional athletes. The product is suitable both for providing energy, essential ions, and full hydration during exercise, as well as for so-called carbohydrate supercompensation before exercise.

What is an Energy Drink?

• THE ULTIMATE ENERGY DRINK WITH MINERALS, free of artificial sweeteners and colors
• Isotonic beverage (up to 10% carbohydrates at the recommended dilution)
• Excellent bioavailability + light and refreshing taste
• Tested in the world’s toughest races with over 10 years of tradition
• An optimized blend of independently tested and proven carbohydrates with unique properties, formulated for elite and active athletes
• Optimized 2:1 ratio = based on a special form of maltodextrin containing pure glucopolymers of standardized chain length and fructose in an optimized 2:1 ratio
• Up to 50% more energy = the 2:1 ratio has been independently scientifically tested (Germany, the United Kingdom) and, compared to standard energy drinks—where manufacturers recommend a maximum intake of 60 g of carbohydrates over a one-hour period—Energy Drink allows for the consumption of up to 90 g of carbohydrates, which is 50% more energy!
• Brief test results = up to 25% longer distance covered at the same power output, a 15% increase in strength and dynamism, and a time 5 minutes and 45 seconds faster in the 40-mile test
• Essential minerals are in citrate forms (pH stabilization)
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians

Product Focus

• A source of effective energy during physical performance—a source of immediately usable energy and electrolytes.
• Carbohydrate supercompensation, increasing the body’s energy reserves before exercise—a source of easily usable energy; one serving is equivalent to two full servings of cooked pasta.
• There’s no need to overeat; stick to your regular diet—Energy Drink will provide you with the necessary and effective muscle energy in the form of glycogen.

Optimized 2:1 ratio (glucose polymers : fructose) = the best choice for physically active individuals

Excellent digestibility and bioavailability are achieved through an optimized ratio of individual ingredients, as is natural for a physically active body. The ratio of glucose polymers (maltodextrin) to fructose is optimized to 2:1, which corresponds not only to the latest scientific findings but also to the natural system of transporting simple sugars across the small intestine wall and their breakdown during exercise.

There are two basic, separate transport systems for the absorption of sugars in the small intestine: for glucose, it is the GLU2 transport system, which can absorb up to 60 g of glucose per hour; for fructose (fruit sugar), it is the GLU5 transport system, which can absorb up to 30 g of fructose per hour. Glucose and fructose are therefore the two primary natural sources of energy for a physically active body. For this very reason, the ratio of the two main ingredients is optimized to 2:1 = 60 g of glucose : 30 g of fructose. Energy Drink thus allows for the consumption of up to 90 g of carbohydrates within one hour.

When Energy Drink is consumed 2–3 days before exercise (carbohydrate supercompensation), the glucose it contains helps replenish muscle glycogen stores, while the fructose helps replenish glycogen reserves in the liver (up to one-third of total stores). The liver serves as a reserve store of energy/glycogen for individual muscles. When the Energy Drink is consumed during exercise, both glucose and fructose serve as an external source of energy directly for the working muscles. Energy is released through a process called glycolysis, in which glucose is broken down via fructose (or fructose directly) into pyruvate, producing the cellular energy molecule ATP.

Compared to standard mass-market products available on the market, Energy Drink thus allows you to consume up to 50% more energy. The reason is that these common products typically contain only glucose and its polymers as their base, which allows for the absorption of only 60 g per hour, leading to an overload of the body. Alternatively, they contain sucrose as the main ingredient, which consists of glucose and fructose in a suboptimal 1:1 ratio—a composition that is not ideal given the aforementioned facts about the body’s absorption system.

NOTE: The principles mentioned above apply only to athletes and physically active individuals, for whom glucose and fruit sugar (fructose) are natural sources of energy without undesirable side effects.

Citrate forms of minerals = pH+

Energy Drink contains sodium and potassium bound via chelation in the form of citrate. In addition to serving as a suitable carrier for both minerals, the citrate form also helps stabilize pH. It is well known that acidification of the body caused by intense exercise (lactic acid) is one of the factors that reduce performance and hinder subsequent recovery.

Recommended dosage:

• One serving = 47 g (2 x 23.5 g scoops, or 1 x single-serve packet)
• During exercise: Dissolve a 47 g serving in 500 ml of water and shake well. Sip throughout your workout, consuming approximately 250 ml every 20 minutes (consume no more than 1–2 servings per hour). In case of high ambient temperatures or significant fluid loss (excessive sweating), add one ZERO Neutral tablet to each serving of Energy Drink (500 ml).
• Before exercise (especially for short-duration, dynamic activities): Dissolvea 47 gserving in 500 ml of water and shake well. Start drinking it approximately 60–90 minutes before the start of your activity. If you need additional stimulation, you can supplement the product with caffeine-containing Isogel X’treme, which should be taken approximately 10–15 minutes before the start of your activity.
• Carbohydrate Supercompensation Before Major Races: Carbohydrate supercompensation is typically performed before major races. It is a nutritional strategy that increases your body’s carbohydrate stores by up to 30%. We’ll introduce you to a simple and effective method for performing carbohydrate supercompensation without lengthy preparations or drastic dietary changes. Follow this three-step plan to maximize your carbohydrate reserves.

Warning: May contain traces of milk. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Follow the recommended dosage! Not a meal replacement.
