Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix is designed to solve a prevalent problem for endurance athletes: fueling for big days of training or racing when preparing or carrying real food isn’t possible. Super High-Carb is powered by Cluster Dextrin™, a highly-complex carbohydrate that digests easily and steadily, like real food. One serving of Super High-Carb provides 100g of carbohydrates and 400 calories of energy.

Great for:

  • Preload
  • During activity

7 scoops = 100g carbs, 400 calories
1 scoop = 15g carbs, ~57 calories

As a starting point, add 4 to 7 scoops to an empty 16–20 fl oz bottle, partially fill with water, shake well, then top off with more water. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes if you want it ultra-smooth. Adjust scoop count based on your energy needs and how concentrated you want your bottle.

frequently asked questions

It’s built for big efforts when eating solid food gets tricky. Each serving delivers 100g of fast-absorbing carbs and 400 calories, so you can fuel long sessions or races with fewer bottles, fewer bars, and fewer GI issues. Think of it as food, in liquid form, for when you're working hard and need to keep moving.

We combine glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio to help your body absorb more carbs per hour, up to 100g, by using multiple transport pathways. That means more usable energy, less gut overload, and fewer bonks on big days.

Cluster Dextrin is a high-performance carbohydrate used in our Super High-Carb Drink Mix to deliver a lot of energy without wrecking your gut.

It’s a big, complex carb that breaks down slowly and evenly—kind of like a bus carrying tons of fuel in one smooth ride. Compare that to regular sugar, which is like a bunch of tiny cars. If you pack too many in at once, you get a traffic jam (aka GI distress).

Why it’s better: Cluster Dextrin gives you more calories per molecule, which means lower concentration in your gut and faster water absorption. That’s key for staying hydrated and fueled without bloating or stomach issues—especially during hard efforts or long days.

It depends on your effort, intensity, and what else you're eating or drinking. Start by replacing about half the calories you burn per hour (that’s usually 200–400 calories for most athletes). One 53g pouch = 200 calories. Two = 400. Not sure? Start with 1 to 1.5 pouches or 3-5 scoops in 16 oz of water and tweak from there.

Yep! The flexibility of the pouch format lets you go higher or lower depending on your fueling needs. You can adjust scoops to your need, 1 scoop = ~57 Calories and 15g Carb. For 200 Calorie / 50g Carb serving, that’s 3.5 scoops, 400 Calorie / 100g Carb, that's 7 scoops, you get the idea. For the packets you can mix 1, 1.5, or even 2 pouches into one bottle. Just make sure the fluid-to-carb ratio works for your gut, your sweat rate, effort and conditions.

If you're used to scooping from the big bag, here's the math:

  • 1 pouch = 3.5 scoops = 200 calories = 190mg sodium
  • 2 pouches or 7 scoops = 400 calories = 380mg sodium

You can always adjust up or down based on your caloric or sodium needs.

Sometimes. One serving of Super High-Carb has the same electrolytes as a serving of Sport Drink Mix, but way more fuel. That’s great when you need lots of calories in less fluid—like cooler days or long races where solid food is tough. But hydration and fueling aren’t always synced. On hot days, you might sweat more than one bottle can replace, even if your calories are covered. That’s where an extra bottle of Sport Drink Mix or plain water + Electrolyte Booster comes in.

Think of it this way:
Super High-Carb = a big hammer with less fluid.
Sport Drink Mix = a smaller hammer with more fluid.

Both are tools. Which one (or combo) you use depends on your effort, sweat rate, and gut. You can mix them together in one bottle, but do the math to hit your carb, sodium, and fluid targets—and test it in training to keep your gut happy. Still unsure? We’re here: [email protected].

Good eye. The portable pouch is 53g (200 calories), while the scoopable bag serving is 105g (400 calories). We designed the pouch for easier testing, flexibility, and portability. It’s a lot easier to bring one or two with you than lugging a scale or bag mid-race, or a packet that is more than you want.

Not if you match the calories to your needs, avoid chugging, and hydrate properly. We built this to go down smooth, with no artificial nonsense and a science-backed carb that’s easier to absorb. Start slow, practice during training, and don’t chug 400 calories all at once without sipping steadily. Your gut will thank you.

“Super High Carb drink mix has been my go-to source of fuel during this training block. At full strength, having 100g CHO in each bottle has made hitting 100 grams of carbs/hr feel relatively easy during longer efforts. I’ve found that consistently fueling at 100 grams of carbs/hr has had positive effects all around — less fatigue during the run and faster recovery after.”

Magic mix

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).

Great fuel option

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,

Wonderful after workout

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.

Carbs to go!

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.

Crossfit

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.
