C2:1 Isocarb Mild Lemon, 650 g

Enervit C2:1 Isocarb Mild Lemon, 650 g

Enervit C2:1 Isocarb is an isotonic drink powder for ambitious endurance efforts and long training sessions in the saddle. The specially developed 2:1 carbohydrate matrix of Maltodextrin DE1 (AGENANOVA) and fructose is designed to efficiently support the intake of high carbohydrate amounts. Per recommended mix, 2 measuring scoops in 500 ml water provide 60 g carbohydrates, the flavor is intentionally Mild Lemon with reduced sweetness. The formula is fat‑free, supplies Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) to support normal energy metabolism and the product line is labeled vegan. For very long efforts, intake can be scaled up to 90 g carbohydrates per hour, following common 2:1 strategies for maximal oxidation rate. This product generation was developed in the context of the UCI WorldTour and is aimed at athletes who need steady energy under high load.

• 2:1 carbohydrate matrix of Maltodextrin DE1 (AGENANOVA®) and fructose for high uptake and good tolerability.
• 2 measuring scoops in 500 ml = 60 g carbohydrates; alternatively 3 measuring scoops in 750 ml = 90 g carbohydrates.
• Isotonic at the recommended dosage, alternatively adjustable to a hypotonic mix.
• With Vitamin B1 (Thiamin); per 65‑g portion 0.41 mg thiamin and 0.6 g salt.
• Noticeably mild lemon with reduced sweetness, free from colorants, artificial flavors and sweeteners.
• Labeled vegan; tin with 650 g including measuring scoop.

Technical Details and Features

The 2:1 combination of glucose sources (maltodextrin) and fructose uses different transporters in the gut, which can significantly increase carbohydrate oxidation compared with glucose alone. In practice this means well‑trained athletes can efficiently supply up to about 90 g/h without unnecessarily impairing gastric tolerance. Enervit recommends per hour 2 measuring scoops in 500 ml for 60 g carbohydrates; for those aiming for 90 g/h mix 3 measuring scoops in 750 ml. The formulation delivers per serving 60 g carbohydrates, 0 g fat, 0 g protein, 0.6 g salt and 0.41 mg thiamin, and it is free from colorants, artificial flavors and sweeteners. Many testers praise the mild lemon and the good gastric tolerability, which helps especially during intense intervals and long climbs. Thanks to adjustable concentration, osmolality can be controlled by dilution to obtain isotonic or lighter hypotonic drinks.

Applications and Benefits

On long base rides, alpine passes or marathons like Alpenbrevet, Engadin Radmarathon or multi‑hour indoor sessions, Isocarb helps keep energy availability stable. For rides over 2.5–3 hours, a carbohydrate‑based strategy with 60–90 g/h is sensible; in the pro context, higher target values are combined situationally, for example together with gels from the same C2:1 line. The mild flavor makes regular intake easier even in heat or at altitude, without causing flavor fatigue. Those who structure their fueling can reduce performance drops and stomach problems and stay longer in the Sweet Spot. The link to the UCI WorldTour – for example with UAE Team Emirates – underlines the performance focus of the C2:1PRO series, which was developed specifically for such load profiles. The clear dosing logic (measuring scoop/bidon) makes the system practical for everyday use and easy to plan for training and racing.

Application and Dosage in Everyday Cycling

Start with a Train‑the‑Gut phase: test 60 g carbohydrates per hour with a 500‑ml bidon and gradually increase depending on tolerance. For high intensities or long alpine passes you can expand to 90 g/h, for example via a 750‑ml bidon (3 measuring scoops) or in combination with C2:1 gels to reach the target amount cleanly. Plan 500–750 ml fluid per hour depending on temperature, sweat rate and route profile, and adjust the mix to be more hypotonic in summer. Vitamin B1 contributes to normal energy metabolism – the regular intake per hour thus supports metabolism during effort. General rule: what should work in the race is practiced in training, including fueling timing every 10–15 minutes. For events beyond three hours current recommendations aim at up to 90 g/h with multiple carbohydrates (2:1), which you can specifically achieve with Isocarb.
