Technical Details and Features

The formulation remains hypotonic, which according to Swiss food practice means an osmolality below 260 mmol/l and supports water uptake in the small intestine. In practice this means: rapid fluid supply while maintaining stable energy delivery, without unnecessary sweetness. In addition, the formula combines glucose‑based sources (e.g., maltodextrin/sucrose) with fructose, allowing different transporters in the gut to be used. Studies show that such multiple transportable carbohydrates can improve carbohydrate intake on long rides; well‑trained female and male athletes aim for up to about 90 g carbs per hour depending on needs. Product development dates back to 2008 and was advanced together with long‑distance pros; the mix made a name for itself early with a RAAM win.

Use Cases and Benefits

Carbo Basic Plus – Neutral fits everywhere you need steady energy without stressing the stomach: from base rides to long Alpine passes and marathons. Under load the manufacturer recommends one serving per hour, which integrates seamlessly into common endurance guidelines (30–90 g carbs/h depending on intensity, climate and body size). Thanks to the neutral, not too sweet formula, the drink remains pleasant to consume even at high drinking volumes. For Swiss everyday cycling and races this means: simple handling, reliable supply and high tolerability – exactly what you need in training and on race days.

Preparation and Usage Tips

For one serving fill the drinking bottle (750 ml) first with about 250 ml water, add 60 g powder (4½ measuring scoops), shake and then top up with water. This keeps the solution evenly mixed and hypotonic, which promotes fluid uptake. In heat or at high intensity take small sips more often and adjust carbohydrate intake per hour based on distance and watts. Store the pouch in a cool, dry place, and plan enough servings for long sessions – the 900‑g pouch typically covers two full training weeks with several rides each.
