The two move together: when glucose and sodium are present at the same time, water follows faster than either could pull it alone.

Dextrose is glucose itself and needs no digestion. In Carbo\u2076-Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 it is the first responder, the reason you feel the first sip, and the glucose that pairs with sodium to pull water across the gut wall in the opening minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Fructose \u2014 the endurance athlete&#8217;s second channel<\/h4>\n<p>Glucose absorption is capped at roughly 60 g per hour because its transporter saturates. Fructose uses a different transporter, so adding it alongside glucose raises the total carbohydrate your body can oxidise during exercise. Fructose also stimulates rapid fluid and solute absorption in the small intestine, which is exactly what a hydration formula wants.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Maltodextrina<\/h4>\n<p>Chains of glucose molecules with a high glycaemic index, so energy is available quickly and oxidised quickly during exercise. The chain length matters: maltodextrin delivers a lot of energy per unit of osmolality, so it empties from the stomach fast and reduces the risk of gut complaints during prolonged effort. It is the backbone carbohydrate of serious sports drinks for good reason.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Cluster Dextrin\u00ae (highly branched cyclic dextrin)<\/h4>\n<p>Cluster Dextrin\u00ae is a high-molecular-weight, ultra-low-osmolality carbohydrate produced by enzymatically branching amylopectin into cyclic clusters. Those properties make it highly soluble, give it one of the fastest gastric emptying times of any carbohydrate, and virtually eliminate the gastric distress associated with less advanced carbs. At the same time it releases glucose in a smooth, sustained curve rather than a spike, replenishing muscle glycogen without disturbing fat oxidation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Research-supported for enhanced endurance performance<\/li>\n<li>Fast gastric emptying, minimal GI disturbance<\/li>\n<li>Lower stress-hormone markers after exhaustive exercise versus other carbohydrate sources<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Palatinose\u2122 (isomaltulose) \u2014 two hours of steady energy<\/h4>\n<p>Palatinose\u2122 is a naturally sourced carbohydrate made from sugar-beet sucrose by rearranging the bond between glucose and fructose from \u03b1-1,2 to \u03b1-1,6. That one change makes the molecule digest far more slowly, so it provides full carbohydrate energy (4 kcal\/g) with a low glycaemic response, sustaining the power curve into the second hour and improving fat oxidation during activity. It is vegan, kosher, halal, non-GMO and the first tooth-friendly carbohydrate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Balanced, sustained energy supply, no spike and crash<\/li>\n<li>Supports stable blood glucose during long sessions<\/li>\n<li>Higher fat oxidation during exercise compared with fast sugars<\/li>\n<li>Non-cariogenic, gentle on teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Amylopectin (waxy maize)<\/h4>\n<p>Waxy maize starch is almost pure amylopectin, a highly branched glucose polymer. In the stomach it forms a light, easily digestible gel that, together with Palatinose\u2122, keeps releasing glucose long after the fast sugars are gone. It is the component that lets Carbo\u2076-Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 honestly claim 120 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ================= LYTES11 ================= --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<h2>Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 \u2014 Eleven electrolytes and sport salts, 6.1 g per serving<\/h2>\n<p>This is where Carbo\u2076-Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 separates itself from every other carbohydrate electrolyte drink.

It is a carbohydrate electrolyte drink: 13.1 g of carbohydrate from six sources for energy, and 6.1 g of electrolytes and sport salts for hydration, in every 21 g serving. It contains no caffeine or stimulants.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many carbs do I get per serving, and is that enough for racing?<\/summary>\n<p>13.1 g of carbohydrate per 21 g serving (about 55 kcal). That is a hydration-first dose: enough to drive sodium and water absorption and keep blood glucose stable, while leaving room to add gels or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/es\/product\/endurance-carbohydrate-mix\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Endurance Carbs<\/a> for high-intensity racing where you want 60\u201390 g per hour.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why does it contain sodium bicarbonate?<\/summary>\n<p>Bicarbonate is both an electrolyte and a buffer. At the dose used here it contributes to the sodium total and helps clear hydrogen ions from working muscle, which is why Carbo\u2076-Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 is used by athletes who feel the burn in climbs, intervals and finishing kicks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Will it upset my stomach?<\/summary>\n<p>It was formulated not to. Every carbohydrate was chosen for low osmolality and fast gastric emptying (Cluster Dextrin\u00ae, maltodextrin, Palatinose\u2122), the minerals are chelated or buffered forms, and the serving is mixed into 300 ml of water. Sip it steadily rather than drinking the whole bottle at once.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does it cause a sugar crash after training?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Palatinose\u2122, Cluster Dextrin\u00ae and amylopectin release glucose slowly, so the formula is designed against a post-exercise glycaemic drop.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I use it on non-training days?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Half a serving in 300 ml water is a complete electrolyte top-up for heat, travel, long outdoor days or after a sauna.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is it tested for banned substances?<\/summary>\n<p>SCN\u2122 products are manufactured in GMP and ISO 9001 certified facilities under our doping-free, cross-contamination-safe policy. Carbo\u2076-Lytes\u00b9\u00b9 contains no stimulants and no prohibited substances.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is it vegan?<\/summary>\n<p>All carbohydrate and mineral ingredients are plant- or mineral-derived. Palatinose\u2122 is certified vegan, kosher, halal and non-GMO.
