Energy drinks

Nectar Fuel Systems Sport Fuel Concentrate packs a punch. It is a fast acting and easily digestible energy drink that delivers on long training rides and on the race track.

Great taste and unparalleled mixability combined with an innovative and effective packaging system makes Nectar a real contender in the seemingly ever-saturated sports drink market.

I’ve being using High5’s Energy Source 4:1 drink mix for some time now, with positive results. Like most drink mixes, it comes in power form, which you combine with water, but unlike some other types of energy food (be it drink, bar or gel), which are solely carbohydrate based, Energy Source 4:1 drink mix is, as the name implies, four parts carbo to one part protein.

Lucozade is a name brand more commonly associated with leisure centres rather than competitive cycling. What’s little known about Lucozade is it conducts and funds more research than most, if not all, sports nutrition companies. In my many years as a student I have had the pleasure of being at the sharp end of some tests as a “lab rat” for Lucozades research, usually consisting of horribly painful tests to exhaustion. Lucozades 33% longer claim is well known by most people although how it is substantiated is not so well understood.
