Enjoy continued energy release from Isomaltulose, a unique low GI carb source paired with a base of pea protein, chickpea an MCTs for endurance energy.
Boost hydration, energy metabolism and fight fatigue with the Sparta blend of electrolytes, B-vitamins and aminos including L-gluatmine which improves fatigue markers and aids immune function.
Isomaltose (47%), pea protein (17%), coconut MCT's, chickpea flour, Amino acids (3.89%) (Glutamine, Leucine), Dextrose, Fructose, Electrolyte mix (Tri sodium citrate, Pink Himalayan salt, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Lactate), Natural flavour, B Vitamins.
For Allergens: Please see ingredients listed in bold.
Add contents of sachet with 500ml of water and shake thoroughly to mix. Drink as required during prolonged exercise to maintain performance and hit your CHO goals up to 90g/hour. We recommend 1 serving every 45-60 mins.
There is strong evidence suggesting that protein intake during exercise will reduce subsequent muscle soreness and assist future performance, so in ultra or multi-day events this can become beneficial. Additionally, protein can be used as an energy source at the lower intensities we typically operate at during an ultra distance event, be it running, cycling or multisport. The protein in Sparta comes from a variety of natural sources, many of which also offer some carbohydrates. We’ve used oat flour, chia flour, chickpea flour and rice protein to give a healthy balance as well as a hearty, savoury taste.
Leucine, one of the three BCAAs (branch chain amino acids) has been shown to preserve glycogen stores, reduce fatigue, reduce muscle damage which can occur during long-distance/ultra events. L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid with important role in immunity. Glutamine levels normally become depleted during exercise which can reduces immune response and allows and increase in fatigue markers in the body. Glutamine supplementation improves those fatigue markers, reduces the usual exercise-related drop in L-Glutamine and may reduce immune cell damage. Obviously supporting the immune system is very important for prolonged or multi-day performance and helps you stay strong day after day.
The key carbohydrate source is isomaltulose which has half the sweetness of sucrose but still offers the energy associated with carbohydrates. With a lower GI (glycaemic index) this slower release energy source avoids the sugar spike ,and subsequent crash, from simple sugars and gives more sustained energy source for muscles and brain.
Low GI carbohydrate source providing sustained energy delivery and longer-lasting elevation of blood glucose.
More InformationConsuming a carb:protein ratio of 4:1 during exercise can have a glycogen sparing effect and boost endurance.
More InformationUltras, back to back long training days or multiday events, this drink supports immune function with L-Glutamine.
More InformationIsomaltulose is an ideal source of carbohydrate for long duration, steady-state exercise; its low GI status means it offers a smaller initial blood glucose spike than more simple sugars such as glucose, but a more sustained, longer-lasting elevation of blood glucose. This keeps the brain and muscles supplied with glucose to keep ticking off the miles!
Consuming a drink with a carb:protein ratio of 4:1 during exercise has been shown to enhance performance. Taking on some protein during ultra distance events has been shown to reduce muscle soreness and this specific ratio promotes glycogen sparing, which in turn aids endurance.
Whether its a multi day ultra event, or back to back long training days this drink is formulated to improve back to back performances. L-Glutamine is an important amino acids within the body which becomes depleted during exercise. Supplementation with glutamine has been shown to inhibit the reduction in glutamine associated with exercise, which in turn reduces fatigue markers in the body and supports the immune system - key for multi-day events. We’ve also included B-Vitamins which have been shown to reduce tiredness and fatigue, again helping you keep going strong hour after hour, day after day!
