Hello people So I’ve been looking at upping my nutrition game for a while now and I think I’ve done it. SIS BETA fuel is a mix of 2 parts maltodextrin and 1 past fructose. You can get both online but I wanted to make it right at that moment at home. I mixed 30 milliliters of children’s lemonade c…

I’m interested in this as well, how to add a bit of magnesium, potassium, and others to round out the drink/gels?

I keep it simple by using Maple Syrup

Table sugar is 1 molecule of fructose and 1 molecule of glucose. So I don’t understand why we need anything more than table sugar mixed with water. If anyone can explain I’d appreciate, otherwise can save some money for sure :slight_smile:

I’m guessing the lemonade is to make it more palatable right? Table sugar is the exact same thing 50:50 glucose fructose molecules.

Yes, I’ve been experimenting a bit with just making a higher concentration High5 energy drink and using it instead of gels. So far no issues, but haven’t tried to push carb limits with it.

This is a great thread, thank you for both starting it and all who have contributed. I now have my ingredients (tapioca maltodextrin and gatorade powder). I am going to mix 54g of gatorade (assuming it is 50:50 glucose:fructose) with 26g of maltodextrin to get the 80g of carbs the Maurten 320 and …

I’ve been making my own carb mix at a 2:1 ratio (Dextrose/ Maltodextrin 50-50 mix: Fructose). Next batch order I was going to order enough to go for 1:1 mix, as discussed many times at this stage on the podcast. Is there something I missing that I couldn’t just use table sugar (or caster sugar to d…

I haven’t. I use about 0.5 grams of salt per bottle of 500 mill. But thanks for the reminder. I only started doing it a few days ago.
