Etixx Isotonic 2000 Gr

What is ETIXX ISOTONIC 2000 gr?

During exercise, our sweat helps us regulate body temperature. This fluid loss can be detrimental to performance and therefore athletes must compensate with their chosen beverage and replace lost fluids. When we sweat we lose key electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium which are essential for performance. In addition, they must also be replenished to stimulate fluid retention and the sensation of thirst. In addition, prolonged exercise performance depends on the availability of muscle glycogen and therefore it is important to take carbohydrates during exercise to replenish fuel stores. If carbohydrates are not consumed during prolonged or intense efforts, muscle glycogen stores will be depleted after approx. about 90 min. of effort. The amount of carbohydrate you should take during exercise will depend on the duration and intensity of the training or competition.

• Exercises <1h(15): it is not necessary to consume carbohydrates during the exercise.
• Exercises 1-2h: 30g of carbohydrates per hour of exercise (~500ml Isotonic).
• Exercises 2-3h: 60 g of carbohydrates per hour of exercise (~ 1 L Isotonic).
• Exercises> 2.5-3h: up to 90 g of carbohydrates for each hour of exercise. (~ Up to 1.5 L isotonic).

Etixx Isotonic contains maltodextrin and fructose. Research has shown that the consumption of multiple sources of carbohydrates can increase the absorption of fuel in the body, as they use different means to cross the intestinal wall (Jeukendrup 2010) 1. Therefore, during exercise, this would provide your body more fuel in less time compared to eating a single sugar. In the Etixx isotonic formula, there is a 2:1 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose. This has the advantage that:

• The stomach will empty faster (better digestion)
• Liquid absorption is greater
• There is a lower risk of gastrointestinal problems.
