What does a sports drink have to provide in order to optimally support your training? Of course, it needs to replenish your body’s supply of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, and electrolytes. However, it usually takes some time for these essential nutrients to enter your bloodstream and reach your muscles.
Our isotonic or hypotonic sports drinks ensure faster absorption of fluids and minerals by containing either the same (isotonic) or even fewer (hypotonic) dissolved particles than our blood. Hypotonic drinks, in particular, are ideal for intense exercise, as they have a shorter stomach retention time and are absorbed more quickly by the small intestine. And when your isotonic sports drink is also a carbohydrate drink, you’re not only hydrating and replenishing minerals, but you’re also providing your body with an important nutrient that your muscle glycogen stores need.
