Increased Performance...
PURE Performance + Race Fuel is a high carb, high sodium drink to incorporate into your training and race strategy. It can be used a sole source of fuel and is unflavoured to minimise flavour fatigue.
There is an increasing body of evidence to support that Cluster Dextrin™ is superior to a linear dextrin counterpart (i.e. maltodextrin). The major contributing factor is the perception of fatigue, with studies reporting that Cluster Dextrin™ reduced the rate of perceived exhaustion (RPE). Whether this is due to the reduced GI issues or the increased rate of glucose uptake into the blood stream, or both, is yet to be determined.*
Another benefit of Race Fuel is to increase the carbohydrate able to be consumed through fluid as compared to a traditional sports drink (2-3 times the amount). It is also a good option for supporting ‘carbohydrate gut training’ and maximising your capacity to fuel during competition.
What is Cluster Dextrin™?
Cluster Dextrin™ is a type of carbohydrate that has gained popularity as a sports supplement and energy source. It has a highly branched and cyclic structure, which sets it apart from linear dextrin’s (i.e. maltodextrin) and traditional carbohydrate sources. By using Cluster Dextrin™ we are able to provide a very high carbohydrate drink that is not only palatable, but also reduces gastrointestinal distress while increasing sport performance.*
Cluster Dextrin™ has a unique molecular structure characterised by its highly branched and cyclic arrangement of glucose molecules. Due to the high molecular weight it has a relatively low osmolality, which means it will move through the stomach faster than a linear dextrin (i.e. maltodextrin).*

High Levels of Sodium... All sports drinks are vital for replacing any loss of electrolytes. PURE Race Fuel has been designed for longer durations, so a higher sodium concentration has been included to match. Why? Sodium is vital to support the uptake of glucose out of the intestinal tract and studies have shown an average loss of 1000mg sodium per hour.A combination of both sodium chloride and sodium citrate have been used, for flavour and reduced GI issues, as well as other electrolytes that are lost in sweat.

Why Fructose? It is well-documented that using multiple transportable carbohydrates (i.e. glucose:fructose) will enhance both absorption and oxidation.*We are yet to learn the optimal ratio of HBCD:fructose in sports performance but based on feedback from elite athletes during the development of PURE Race Fuel, lower rates of GI disturbance have been evident.

HASTA Certified - Human and Supplement Testing Australia (HASTA) is Australia's first commercial product testing organisation, testing for WADA banned substances. As a performance product it was a must that PURE Race Fuel become a part of the HASTA product certification scheme.Earnt not bought! Certifying a product involves not just testing, but verification of the manufacturing quality controls that are in place. If a product has the "HASTA Certified" seal on pack, it means that every batch has been tested for over 200 WADA prohibited substances.
