Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour88/100 · Estimate with missing data

At 500 mL per hour, this drink provides 56 g of carbohydrates.

This amount is what matters: 500 mL of this drink means 3.1 g of fat and 6 g of protein to digest on the move.

  • Fat: 3.1 grams per hour, slightly above the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour. Fat takes time to leave the stomach, which stays heavy while you run.

    Why fat gets in the way
  • Fibre: 0 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour.

  • Protein: 6 grams per hour, slightly above the comfort zone, which goes up to 5 grams per hour. Protein digests slowly and gives no immediate energy: mid-effort, it gets in the way more than it helps.

    Why protein gets in the way
  • Polyols (sweeteners): none in the ingredients, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 1 grams per hour.

  • Concentration: 11.2 grams per 100 millilitres, well above the comfort zone, which goes up to 8 grams per 100 millilitres. A drink that is too sweet draws water into the gut instead of hydrating you, and can cause bloating.

In practice

A less sweet drink, or some water alongside, would help your stomach.

Everyone digests differently: try your products in training, never on race day.

Carbonation is unknown; the digestive tolerance score is an estimate.

PracticalityEasy to consume on the move100/100

On the move: drunk without stopping. Taste: sweet, welcome. Over a short effort, the format counts for 90% of the score, the taste for 10%.

Over a short effort, the format matters most.

Format: drink. Eighth of 8 formats, from the meal, taken while stopped, to the drink, taken while running.

Drinking requires no chewing, making it easier to consume on the move.

Taste

  • Sugars: 6.2 g per 100 mL, above the sweet threshold of 5 g.

Sweet taste: at least 5 g of sugars per 100 mL

A sweet taste that may suit a short effort.
