Energy drink with lemon-lime flavor from 6d Sports Nutrition.

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy during intensive training. As the body has a limited capacity to absorb carbohydrates, it is recommended to consume carbohydrates via the diet during (intensive) training longer than 60 minutes.

6d Energy sports drink is an energy drink with a higher content of carbohydrates (12%) and higher osmolality (370 mOsm/kg) than in an isotonic energy drink. As a result of this, 6d Energy sports drink aims to supply carbohydrates to the working muscles and to maintain fluid balance or restore sweat loss. Especially during performances in cold climates where the need for energy is greater than the need for fluid, as the amount of sweat is less than in warmer climates.

Due to the large amount of sodium (450 mg/500 ml.), this sports drink can also be used in warmer and more humid weather conditions, if it is combined with water or a hypotonic sports drink (such as 6d Hydro/ORS). Even in sports where the possibility of consuming energy is limited (e.g. team sports such as football), 6d Energy sports drink is a very good choice, which is due to the high amount of carbohydrates.

Furthermore, 6d Energy sports drink contains a glucose:fructose ratio of 2:1, which allows the body to absorb up to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour during exercise. This 2:1 ratio and its acceptable osmolality (± 370 mOsml/kg) are the main reasons why this energy drink is a better choice during training than many other energy drinks.
6d Energy sports drink can also be used as a "carbo loader" to increase energy reserves in the body, both before and after training.

In short, 6d Energy sports drink is the ideal choice for all athletes who mainly lack energy (sugar) both before, during and after training, especially in cold climates.

Recommended use:

Mix 65g (= 2 scoops) of powder in 500 ml. water.
Drink 250-750 ml. per hour during training, depending on the need for liquid and carbohydrates.
