Technical Details and Functions

The powder is mixed as an instant drink: During activity, dissolve 4 scoops (52g) in around 500ml water and drink in small sips. Nutritionally, such a serving provides approximately 200 kcal, 50g carbohydrates, only 3.4g sugar, 0g fat and 0g protein; plus 0.17mg thiamine, which contributes to normal energy metabolism. The formulation with low osmolarity is designed to create an easily drinkable solution; oligosaccharides like maltodextrin enable high carbohydrate content while maintaining relatively low osmotic stress. The neutral taste makes it easy to combine with water or electrolyte tablets without further increasing sweetness. Please note the allergen information: The product may contain traces of egg, milk and soy.

Applications and Benefits

For cyclists in Switzerland, the powder is a simple base for specifically meeting carbohydrate needs on long rides, alpine pass climbs or indoor intervals. As a practical guideline, expert panels recommend approximately 30-60g carbohydrates per hour for efforts over 60-90 minutes; with 50g per serving, this can be easily portioned in training and racing. Those aiming higher can use multiple transportable carbohydrates (e.g. maltodextrin plus fructose) depending on tolerance, to reach up to approximately 90g/h. Thanks to low osmolarity and minimal sweetness, the drink remains easily drinkable even at high intensity and fits into various bottle strategies for cycling in Switzerland.

Optional: Application tips for everyday Swiss cycling

Mix the powder in your bottle with tap water, shake vigorously and drink regularly in small sips rather than taking large amounts at once. Adjust portion size according to route, temperature and intensity, and test your individual tolerance in training, as oxidation and absorption rates can vary considerably between athletes. In hot conditions, a second bottle with water or electrolytes may be useful, while carbohydrates come from the first bottle. Enervit advises taking it during activity and adjusting dilution to personal needs.
