HIGH5 Energy Drink Caffeine for long-duration exercise
A sports drink with caffeine in powder form, for long rides and runs. Each serving provides 44 grams of carbohydrates, sodium and potassium, plus a caffeine dose of your choice: 28 mg per serving in the 2.2-kilogram tub, or 140 mg in the 1.4-kilogram tub and sachets. For cyclists, runners and triathletes who plan their nutrition.
Carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio
This drink combines maltodextrin and fructose in a 2:1 ratio, with 44 grams of carbohydrates per 500 ml bottle. How much you drink per hour depends on the duration and intensity of your exercise; follow the recommended use on the label.
Isotonic: energy, hydration and electrolytes in a bottle
Isotonic means that the drink has approximately the same concentration of particles as your body fluids. Per 500 ml bottle, you also get 240 mg of sodium, the mineral you lose most through sweat. On warm days, add a ZERO Neutral effervescent tablet for extra electrolytes without changing the taste.
28 or 140 mg of caffeine, choose your strategy
The two variants differ only in caffeine content. The 2.2-kilogram tub provides a low dose (28 mg per bottle), so you can drink several during a long ride and the caffeine will enter your system gradually. Many endurance athletes save the 140 mg variant for the hardest part of a race or gran fondo. Good to know: keep the total from all sources under 400 mg per day, and choose the caffeine-free HIGH5 Energy Drink for evening training. This is how you use this sports drink with caffeine exactly where it belongs.
HIGH5 has been making nutrition for endurance athletes since 1994. Anyone looking for a sports drink with caffeine will get energy, hydration and caffeine from a bottle, vegan and without artificial sweeteners, in the dose that suits the moment.
