We have been waiting for this for a while.
It is a 910g tub.
Performance declines with as little as 1-2% dehydration, so an athlete's #1 priority should be staying hydrated. With sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, CLIF SHOT Electrolyte counteracts both electrolyte and fluid loss helping prevent a race day meltdown.
CLIF SHOT Electrolyte drink is formulated for optimal rates of hydration and absorption of carbohydrate and electrolytes. A 6-8% carbohydrate solution has been shown consistently to be the best concentration for supplying glucose to muscles and for replacing lost fluids with the best digestive tolerance for most people. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Dietetic Association recommend a 6-8% solution for continuous hydration and carbohydrate delivery during activity. Drinks less than 6% are not well absorbed by the gut and drinks greater than 8% can lead to digestive distress.
We choose organic brown rice syrup solids (maltose and glucose) not only because it is a quickly oxidized energy source, but also because it is part of our food philosophy to use ingredients that are sustainably grown and provide the highest level of naturally occurring nutrients. For example, brown rice syrup natural contains high levels of potassium and magnesium.
Electrolyte is meant to be used primarily DURING activity. The quantity consumed very much depends on the intensity and duration of activity as well as the external conditions such as wind and heat. For instance if you’re doing an easy 90 minute ride on flat roads in cool temperatures, one bottle may be plenty. But if you’re in the middle of a 5 hour ride in 85+ degree weather with lots of climbing, then we’d recommend drinking 16oz every 30 minutes. Ultimately it’s best for the athlete to experiment and find out how his/her total consumption corresponds with performance. |
