 FLUID vs. Other Sports Drinks

Serious athletes drink sports drinks such as FLUID due to their combination of maltodextrin and fructose (in that order). The combination of maltodextrin and fructose equal a complex carbohydrate.

This is vital for athletes as it increases the total “carbohydrate transport” creating available energy and oxidation which in turn will allow athletes to exercise at a higher V02 max once their glycogen stores deplete. This is huge when talking endurance sports. Go longer, further, feel good and be strong!

Sportdrink cautionArtificial sweeteners and high simple sugar content in foods and drinks are such common place in our nutritional chain that many people equate “good taste” with that overly high level of sweetness flavor.

FLUID does not contain artificial ingredients and only contains 8 grams of sugar, therefore it tastes very light with a hint of sweetness that some may interpret as bland. What a pity that a high sugar content and/or artificial sweetness flavor that so many people are addicted to takes priority over great quality and nutritious hydration that’s found in FLUID.

FLUID contains only the highest quality electrolytes and contains none of the “junk” that are in so many of the other products in today’s market. Artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, maltitol, sucralose (Splenda) aspartame (Equal or Nutrasweet) and xylitol for instance are common place in many sports drinks and nutritional products. Many times they are listed in the first three ingredients in the product, meaning they are very high in content.

Exercise GI DistressThere is well-documented research (and I am sure some of you can speak first hand on this having experienced yourselves) that ingesting these artificial sweeteners can cause diarrhea and major intestinal disorders. Not good news for an athlete!

In fact, in the case of xylitol which has been touted as being “completely safe,” documentation has shown evidence that ingesting xylitol in long term use –more then 3 years– can cause tumors. It is also highly toxic to dogs and can kill them.

So Why FLUID?

In a nutshell FLUID contains no artificial ingredients, stimulants, colors, or flavors and is 100% natural along with being gluten and lactose free.

It’s YOUR body so choose wisely! And… drink your FLUID!
