Skratch Labs - Super High Carb Sport Drink Mix (Raspberry)

• It’s bigger, providing more energy. A Cluster Dextrin molecule packs in more calories per molecule -- or more energy -- than other fueling options. A Cluster Dextrin molecule has 60 to 70 glucose (sugar) units linked together. By comparison, maltodextrin, the most common carbohydrate used in gels and performance drinks, contains 3 to 20 glucose units linked together.

• It’s more complex, in a good way. Cluster Dextrin has a unique structure. Its glucose units are linked together like tree branches wrapped into a wreath. Meanwhile, maltodextrin is a long, straight chain of linked units. When maltodextrin is digested, all of the glucose units break apart all at once. This can overwhelm the gut. When Cluster Dextrin is digested, its branches take time to unwrap and the glucose units break off gradually. With Super High-Carb, you get a steady release of energy without the risk of gastrointestinal distress.

• It’s more soluble and drinkable. Because Cluster Dextrin is amazingly soluble, we can get a ton of calories into Super High-Carb without turning it into sludge. Super High-Carb dilutes easily in water for a great tasting beverage that you can sip. It’s great for when there’s no time to chew, or for when you just can’t stomach a thick, sticky gel.
