CARBO BASIC PLUS raspberry

WINFORCE CARBO BASIC PLUS Raspberry

The WINFORCE CARBO BASIC PLUS in the Raspberry flavour is a hypotonic sports drink powder for long and intense sessions on the bike. The formula relies on a particularly well-tolerated matrix of long-chain carbohydrates based on potato starch, combined with additional carbohydrate sources for continuous energy. The Raspberry variant contains 3.6 % natural raspberry powder and uses a 2:1 ratio of glucose to fructose designed for high uptake rates during exercise. One serving equals 60 g powder in 750 ml water and provides around 57 g carbohydrates or 228 kcal, helping you reliably hit your Carbo-Target in endurance training. The product is developed and manufactured in Switzerland and is designed for use in cycling. The information on flavour, mixing, ingredients and nutritional values is based on the official manufacturer documentation.

Technical details and functions

The carbohydrate matrix combines potato starch, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose and isomaltulose, which keeps the drink hypotonic even at higher intakes and is gentle on the stomach. The 2:1 ratio of glucose to fructose uses different transport pathways in the intestine, increasing exogenous carbohydrate oxidation compared to glucose alone and can improve performance in endurance disciplines. Studies show that glucose–fructose mixtures improve time-trial performance and that intakes of up to about 90 g carbohydrates per hour are sensible without unnecessarily burdening the stomach. In practice, a bottle of CARBO BASIC PLUS with 60 g powder already covers most of this range and can be combined with an additional carbohydrate source depending on intensity. For the Raspberry flavour, natural raspberry powder and a subtle acidity are also indicated, which make the drinking experience pleasantly light during long rides. All stated ingredient and mixing details come directly from the manufacturer.

Applications and benefits

CARBO BASIC PLUS Raspberry is suitable for marathon and long-distance rides, mountain passes, gravel stages as well as long indoor sessions when steady energy and good stomach tolerance are required. Thanks to its hypotonic formulation, the drink supports fluid uptake and is a palatable solution, especially in warm conditions. The combination of short-, medium- and long-chain carbohydrates helps to buffer performance fluctuations and keep blood sugar stable. The recommendation is one serving per hour, which is easy to plan and integrate into a personal fueling strategy. Research also suggests that hypotonic drinks promote drinking volume and can keep certain exercise markers lower than water alone. For Swiss cyclists, it is therefore a functional, everyday option for training and racing.

Mixing & practical application

For a bottle, first fill about 250 ml water, add 60 g powder (approximately 4½ scoops), shake well and then top up to 750 ml. Under load, 1 serving per hour is recommended; depending on duration and intensity, intake can be adjusted individually without unnecessarily exceeding the total amount per hour. If you target higher Carbo-Targets, you can coordinate the drink with further compatible sources to reach 60–90 g/h. Store the bag cool and dry and mix fresh each time to keep flavour and tolerability optimal. The clear, fruity raspberry note is unobtrusive and supports regular drinking even on longer efforts. All preparation and storage instructions are specified by the manufacturer.

Nutritional values & ingredients (Raspberry)

Per 100 g the powder provides approx. 380 kcal, 95 g carbohydrates (of which 40 g sugar), 0 g fat, 0 g protein and 1.20 g salt; per 60 g serving this is about 228 kcal and 57 g carbohydrates. According to the ingredients list of the Raspberry variant, the product contains potato starch, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose, isomaltulose, raspberry powder (3.6 %), table salt, citric acid and raspberry aroma. The ingredients do not indicate lactose or gluten; in case of allergies we always recommend checking the declaration. A 900 g bag comprises 15 servings and is therefore a practical size for multi-week training phases.
