U Sport 1:0.8 is Umaras 3rd generation sports drink - The specific combination of 1 part fast and 0.8 parts slow carbohydrates has been shown in both research and real life to be the best for getting enough energy without upsetting your stomach. The risk of hitting the wall or bonking has never been lower.
U Sport 1:0.8 is available in the refreshing flavors Orange and Elderflower where 2 scoops provide you with 90g of carbohydrates mixed in 500-800 ml of water. Of course, it can be mixed both weaker and stronger based on personal preference. A full dose of U Sport 1:0.8 gives you a perfect mix of fast and slow carbohydrates, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and all the electrolytes you lose through sweat (Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium).
To achieve a high absorption of carbohydrates, a good mix of different types of carbohydrates is required. Modern research agrees that a good sports drink should contain both maltodextrin and fructose. Both are carbohydrates that are absorbed in the small intestine, but they are taken up in the body via different transport pathways (transport proteins), which provides a steady yet high absorption with a lower risk of stomach issues. A sports drink that contains both maltodextrin and fructose is gentler on the stomach compared to a drink with a single type of carbohydrate, e.g. only maltodextrin. Some of the performance improvements noted in studies comparing sports drinks can also be attributed to the fact that if the stomach is calmer, the athlete is calmer too, allowing for a higher energy intake and more power in the muscles.
Research is constantly advancing and there are studies showing that the ratio 1:0.8 is more effective than the 2:1 ratio with larger intakes over a longer duration. U Sport 1:0.8 ensures that you can create the most effective energy setup in the world to date.
