Here are a few ways to tinker with our products to either create a gel if that is your preferred fuel source or a concentrated bottle for something like an Ironman when the aid station might not have your preferred nutrition, you don't want to open packets etc.
For a gel-like option you can use 1 scoop per every 1-1.5 ounces.
As a starting point 3.5 scoops or 1 x 53g packet Super High-Carb Drink Mix = 200 calories and 190mg of sodium
7 scoops or 2 x 53g packets Super High-Carb Drink Mix = 400 calories and 380mg of sodium
You can always start with less and add more as needed, based on your caloric and electrolyte needs.You can mix High-Carb with our other hydration mixes into one bottle but you’ll want to do some math and make sure you are getting an appropriate combination of carbs, sodium, and liquid to your needs and to avoid GI distress (too many carbs in too short of a period and you’ll be busting your gut…). This ratio can change depending on the weather, effort, and other factors, so test things in training and if you have questions, hit us up: [email protected]

Customer Reviews
The Super HIgh Carb mix is amazing- I now need only that plus a few gels and I'm going 60-100 miles no problem. There's no problem absorbing it, and this version the taste is super light and not an issue (the 1st version the taste was too strong).
I have a very sensitive stomach, and this has been a good solution for me. This is a great fuel option for long sessions, especially in hot weather. It has a very light taste, so I don't develop flavor fatigue. I do feel it in my stomach longer than the regular hydration mix, which sometimes is uncomfortable,
I enjoyed the flavor very much. I also like the specific directions that are given on the individual packets for optimal benefits.
This is the best sports drink I have found. It makes it easy to fuel on the bike and it keeps you energized on long rides. The flavors are tasty and easy to digest. Highly recommend.
The absolute best way to get extra carbs on board. I've been mixing two scoops of the Super High Carb with an extra scoop of the Sport Drink Mix for a super charged 500ml flask. 49g of carbs and 494mg of sodium is perfect for a single flask. I drank this uber-beverage for 18+ hours during a 100mile race with ZERO issues, just add in a few gels an hour and you're golden.
I am a CrossFit athlete and use this during our workouts every morning at 5am. Definitely gives me the energy needed to be at optimum performance in the gym. Also allows my food intake throughout the day to go towards my recovery. Allows me to get some clean/free carbs. Great product.
I think it worked. Used it on a 30 miler winter (20 degrees) ride. I didn’t get tired and did t really need any additional calories. Felt great at the end and didn’t mess up my gut.
This company is great at what they do. Been using their regular hydration powder for years now.
Great for fulling my rides. It adds flexibility to the carbs and electrolytes I need.
Did my first ever road Ragnar relay and took these with me. I had one before each of my 3 runs. The drink goes down so easily and the taste reminds me of the lemon lime sports hydration mix, but not as strong. I didn’t have any tummy issues or sloshing. Between my 3 running legs of the race I was in a van and my food intake was not great. Taking this helped me have enough to get through my two 6+ mile legs (along with some other nutrition) without feeling totally depleted. This drink mix was a lifesaver.
I first tried the super high carb mix during a 75 mile road bike race. This mix powered me through for the first 30+ miles of the race, allowing me to pedal right on by the rest stops. This past weekend I used the high-carb mix again for my XC MTB race and felt so good throughout the race, no bonking whatsoever! Two P1 finishes with this in my bottle...super high carb is here to stay.
