Another Gatorade flavour finally makes its way over the Atlantic. At 6% carbohydrate, the composition is very much the same as our native Lucozade Sport, with just a slightly lower carbohydrate content (2g) per serving, contributing to a 15kcal-reduced energy content. Sodium levels are identical, while there is a slightly elevated amount of potassium (15mg), […]
SIS is among the leaders in nutritional supplementation, with credible clients including the all-conquering GB cycle team. SIS’s Go Electrolyte has a carb content in line with the literature recommendations, a healthy dose of sodium to balance high sweat losses and, most notably, a new organic status – the first sports nutrition product to meet […]
Energy-wise this product packs an impressive punch, with a 686.6kcal hit per 500ml. A significant level of this is contained within the carbohydrate content at 73.8g. This product also contains a high level of protein at 35.6g, making up more than a third of your required daily intake. There’s a decent level of sodium in […]

It has an about average energy content […]
The first thing you notice when you open this big tub is that it’s rather empty! Much like a packet of crisps, you’ll be disappointed with the amount of goodies inside. The product, once mixed, is also then extremely frothy with a 50/50 split of drink and froth. These problems aside, there’s a good level […]
This product from PowerBar tastes better than most but doesn’t pack as much ‘power’ as the name suggests, weighing in at the lower end of the spectrum with 199kcal, 35.9g carbohydrates and 12.6g of protein per serving. There’s also zero sodium content, with just 150mg of potassium, so make sure you replenish these from other […]
The Isostar recovery drink is one of the more basic concoctions on the shelves, based upon the classic milk powder ‘home brew’. It contains a relatively low 183kcal for 250ml serving and also has quite low carbohydrate and protein content at 34.7g and 9.8g, respectively. The recommended 250ml does is fairly small, but like most […]
