WINFORCE Hydro Energy – Box 20 x 70 ml – Cola

WINFORCE Hydro Energy is a liquid, isotonic energy concentrate in a practical 70‑ml‑stick – developed for long rides, hard intervals and races. The formula relies on a glucose‑fructose ratio of 1:0.8 so your body can absorb large amounts of carbohydrates efficiently and the stomach stays calm. Per stick you get 92 kcal and 23 g carbohydrates, providing quickly available energy during intense efforts. The intake is done directly from the stick, without additional drinking, and the tether‑design of the tab prevents unnecessary littering on the go. Swiss made and designed in the Cola variant with typical flavor, Hydro Energy fits perfectly into the fueling strategy of ambitious cyclists.

• Isotonic, liquid energy concentrate in the 70‑ml‑stick – no dilution needed
• 1:0.8 Glucose:Fructose for high uptake and good tolerance during endurance efforts
• Per stick: 92 kcal, 23 g carbohydrates, 11 g sugar; per 100 ml: 132 kcal, 33 g carbohydrates
• Flavor: Cola; acidulant phosphoric acid for the characteristic cola touch
• Usage: 1–3 sticks per hour – depending on intensity, duration and individual tolerance
• Thoughtful packaging: tab stays attached to the pouch, reduces littering
• Swiss made, pasteurized and packed under protective atmosphere
• Compatible with high‑carb strategies up to 120 g carbohydrates per hour

Technical Details and Functions

The isotonic concentration supports rapid gastric emptying and delivers the carbohydrates quickly into the bloodstream, which is crucial during high performance in cycling. The base of the formula is water, maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio; this reduces blood sugar spikes and increases the amount of externally usable carbohydrates per hour. Research shows that glucose‑fructose blends at intakes up to around 120 g/h increase exogenous carbohydrate oxidation and thus can improve energy availability during long efforts. Depending on the target intake, the optimal ratio shifts; at very high intakes ratios around 1:0.8 to 1:1 are considered useful, while at about 90 g/h a 2:1 ratio is more common. Hydro Energy is designed for direct intake without water, delivers 92 kcal and 23 g carbohydrates per portion, and can be handled cleanly at race pace thanks to the easy‑to‑open stick. For the Cola flavor WINFORCE uses phosphoric acid as the acidulant; all variants are pasteurized and manufactured in Switzerland.

Use Cases and Benefits

Whether a base ride on Lake Zurich, Alpine passes in the Engadin or race efforts in marathons and triathlons – Hydro Energy reliably covers your energy needs. With 1–3 sticks per hour you can finely control intake and, if needed, expand into modern high‑carb setups that are already established in the pro peloton. Direct consumption without extra drinking simplifies handling on technical terrain, descents or hectic race sections, while the isotonic formulation supports stomach tolerance. Thanks to the 1:0.8 mix, Hydro Energy harmonizes with common nutrition strategies that rely on higher carbohydrate intake, without unnecessary sweetness or sticky residue. For training phases with high volume or stage races, the constant supply helps you avoid performance drops and ride the final hour of the race stronger.

Technical Details and Functions

Hydro Energy Cola relies on a short, clear ingredient list: water, maltodextrin, fructose, natural flavor, acidulant phosphoric acid, preservative potassium sorbate. The nutritional values are transparently stated: 132 kcal and 33 g carbohydrates per 100 ml, or 92 kcal and 23 g carbohydrates per 70‑ml‑stick; sugar content 11 g per stick, fat, protein and salt each 0 g. The sticks are engineered to be taken without additional water, which simplifies fueling planning on the bike – especially when bidons are reserved for electrolytes or plain water. The tether‑design of the tear tab prevents parts from ending up in nature and makes disposal after the race straightforward. Produced in Switzerland, pasteurized and packed under protective atmosphere, Hydro Energy meets the expectations of modern, functional sports nutrition for hard use.

Use Cases and Benefits

For road races, gravel marathons, cross‑country laps and long training sessions, Hydro Energy is suitable as a sole or complementary energy source. In combination with carbohydrate‑rich drinks the intake can easily be scaled to 90–120 g/h; at very high rates the 1:0.8 matrix is intended to support uptake. Practically: the liquid character allows emptying a stick even at high breathing rates, without chewing and without additional water – ideal on steep ramps, in time trials or in cold conditions. Those who gradually train their gastrointestinal tolerance benefit especially from the high uptake capacity of modern glucose‑fructose blends. The result is more stable wattage throughout the session and a lower risk of the dreaded bonk in the final kilometers.
