It can provide your working muscles with more than 100 gram of carbohydrate per hour, while ensuring that you receive the correct dose of caffeine.

The additional carbohydrate provided by EnergySource Plus enables you to race faster and further.

With natural flavours EnergySource Plus is light, refreshing and exceptionally easy on the stomach.

RACE FASTER RESEARCH

Athletes were asked to ride on two occasions. On both occasions they rode for 2 1/2 hours at moderate intensity followed by a flat out Time Trial. During one ride they used their own brand of nutrition, as they would normally. During the other ride they used EnergySource with 2:1 fructose, as per the instructions found in the High5 Faster & Further Nutrition Guides.

Research Study 1: Cycling Weekly / Glasgow University (2009) – the 40 mile Time Trial was completed on average 5 minutes 45 seconds faster using High5.

Research Study 2: Martin-Luther- University Germany (2009): during the 40 mile Time riders produced on average 15% more power using High5 (up from 184 to 212 watts).

Research Study 3: Prof. Ernst Albin Hansen Aalborg University, Denmark (2010) – the 48km Time Trial was completed 8 minutes faster using High5.

Note: very occasionally some athletes find that caffeine can increase cramp, so always try EnergySource Plus in training before racing. If there is a problem, then simply switch to using standard EnergySource.

EnergySource Plus contains a high level of key electrolytes + magnesium (higher than standard EnergySource). It can provide exceptionally fast hydration as compared to a normal sports drink. The electrolyte levels should be adequate for most race conditions. However, when racing over long distances in very hot conditions, you may wish to add one ZERO (Neutral) tab to 500ml of EnergySource Plus for an even higher level of electrolytes and as part of an anti-cramp strategy.
