ISOTONIC DRINK Lemon, 420 g

Enervit ISOTONIC DRINK Lemon, 420 g

Enervit Isotonic Drink Lemon is an isotonic sports drink powder for training and competition – developed to support hydration and endurance performance during longer efforts. The isotonic mix yields an osmolality of around 270 mOsm/kg at the recommended preparation, which promotes rapid water uptake. Per 500 ml one serving provides about 25 g carbohydrates plus essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium. Additionally it contains Vitamin D, Vitamin C and B‑vitamins that, among other things, support energy metabolism and reduce fatigue. Preparation is deliberately simple: two scoops (approx. 30 g) stirred into 500 ml still water and drunk in small sips. These details are based on Enervit's official product specifications.

• Isotonic formula (ca. 270 mOsm/kg) for efficient fluid uptake during exercise.
• Carbohydrate‑electrolyte drink with ca. 25 g carbohydrates per 500 ml for sustained energy supply.
• Electrolyte profile with ca. 480 mg sodium/L plus potassium, chloride and magnesium at recommended dilution.
• Contains Vitamin D (muscle function), Niacin (contributes to reduced fatigue) and other B‑vitamins.
• Preparation: 30 g powder in 500 ml water; guideline 500 ml per hour during intense exercise.

Technical details and features

The isotonic composition is designed to support water uptake and endurance performance during longer sessions – a benefit that is scientifically proven for carbohydrate‑electrolyte drinks. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms that such drinks increase water uptake during sport and help maintain endurance performance. Enervit relies on a balanced carbohydrate blend of sucrose, dextrose, fructose and maltodextrin, combined with electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. At the recommended dosage the drink provides ca. 480 mg sodium per liter, which lies within recognized sports nutrition guidelines for endurance efforts. The formula is complemented by Vitamin D, Vitamin C and B‑vitamins, which, among other things, support energy metabolism. This technical design aims for a stable supply of energy and fluids without complicated handling in the water bottle.

Use cases and benefits

Whether on the bike at Lake Zurich, over alpine passes in summer or on the trainer in winter: this drink shows its strengths during sessions of about 60 minutes or more and in warm conditions. During longer and intense rides the scientific evidence recommends an intake of about 30–60 g carbohydrates per hour, which can be achieved flexibly with 500–1000 ml per hour and possibly additional nutrition (e.g., bars or gels). In practice this means: regular small sips, ideally every 15 minutes, adapted to the environment and intensity. This keeps fluid balance and performance more constant, and tolerance also benefits on long climbs or in heat phases. These recommendations are based on EFSA opinions and sports science position papers.

Preparation is uncomplicated and practical for cyclists in Switzerland. Stir two scoops (approx. 30 g) into 500 ml water, shake briefly and drink in regular sips. As a guideline during intense exercise ca. 500 ml per hour, more in heat – without exceeding your individual sweat rate. The goal is to avoid >2 % body weight loss through sweating, but also to prevent overdrinking; both can cost performance. Adjust the drinking amount to route, temperature and how you feel.

Composition: Per 500 ml (30 g) you get ca. 102 kcal, 25 g carbohydrates, 0.6 g salt, as well as micronutrients such as Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin and Pantothenic acid. The electrolyte profile is optimized for endurance sport and provides per liter, among other things, around 480 mg sodium; the solution remains isotonic. The serving size and nutritional values are chosen so that the drink can be easily combined with gels, bars or solid food. Note in case of intolerances: may contain traces of milk, soy and eggs. Use the drink as part of a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

For ambitious rides, marathons or long training blocks you can strategically increase carbohydrate intake. Evidence shows that carbohydrate solutions depending on the mix can provide 30–60 g carbohydrates per hour and with an appropriate fructose share even up to 90 g carbohydrates per hour, which can help improve performance in high‑intensity, longer‑lasting efforts. In practice this can mean: per hour one to two bottles of Enervit Isotonic Drink plus additional carbohydrate sources, depending on route and intensity. Test your tolerance in training well before using it in competition. This helps avoid gastrointestinal stress and optimize uptake.

Note on performance claims and safety: The described effects (e.g. improved water uptake and maintenance of endurance performance) apply to carbohydrate‑electrolyte drinks as a category and are evaluated by authorities. At the same time current guidelines advise to drink according to a plan adapted to individual sweat rate and to avoid overdrinking to prevent performance decline or hyponatremia. Those who sweat heavily or are out for very long should pay attention to adequate sodium intake and combine the overall strategy with food and drinks. For cyclists in Switzerland this means: test your strategy on your typical routes and in local conditions, from flat commutes to hot Alpine passes.
