Product Information

SiS gels are highly beneficial as part of your fuelling strategy without the liquid volume that can leave you feeling bloated and sluggish. Our complete product range has been developed using a world-class approach to banned substance testing, providing assurance for athletes. Experience the benefits of our energy gels Maltodextrin is apolysaccharide, astarchy complex carbohydratemade up of a chain of glucose molecules. It is similar in composition to glycogen. Despite beingformed ofglucose molecules, it’s not sweet. It also triggers an insulin spike, so it can get to the muscles fast. Unlike some polysaccharides, the molecular bonds between glucose molecules aren’t strong.So you can break it down and metabolise italmost as fast as pure glucose. All these factors combine to make maltodextrin the carbohydrate of choice for energy drinks. Orange: Water, Maltodextrin (from Maize) (33%), Gelling Agents (Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum), Natural Flavouring, Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate), Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate), Sweetener (Acesulfame K), Sodium Chloride, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid). My closest friends have been mountain bike enthusiasts for as long as I’ve known them.I’ve never caught the bug in the same way until recently.

Carbohydrate is your body's main fuel for moderate to high intensity exercise. During training and competition, our bodies can absorb around 60g of carbohydrate per hour, meaning that demand will outstrip the supply of energy. This shortfall is met by using your glycogen stores, which must be replenished post exercise so you are able to perform well in your next session. It’s well documented that consuming protein in the 30 minutes after exercising is beneficial to muscle recovery. Bodybuilders tend to use whey protein (this comes from milk — think curds and whey). But there are other types of plant-based protein such as soy, pea and hemp protein. Take our GO Energy Powder for example - a versatile and easily digestible supply of carbohydrate for energy, designed to be used as a loading strategy in the days and hours prior to a race. This practical solution is suitable for vegan diets and is also dairy, wheat, gluten and nut free! If you wanted to include fructose in your energy drink mix for longer rides, you could add sucrose (plain old white sugar) to a maltodextrin mix. This will give you all the fructose you need, along with a bit of glucose — so it’s a win-win. When exercising, you want to maintain your energy levels and replace any glycogen stores you’ve used.This avoids hitting the wall and going into glycogenolysis.

Boost your training with Science in Sport, a top-tier sports nutrition brand. Discover our high-quality products, supported by science and loved by world-class endurance athletes. Elevate your performance with natural, carb-rich energy gels and more. Hypotonic drinks (the lowest concentrations)replace fluids lost through sweating without replacing much carbohydrate. These can be useful for low-intensity exercise. You might think ‘just drink water’, but there is a risk to drinking too much water without replacing salt and sugar. You’d have to drink a lot of water for this to become a problem, but the potential is there and hypotonic drinks are the solution. Our products aren’t just clever, they’re tasty too! Our flavours include chocolate and salted caramel for those with a sweet tooth. Or opt for a fruity treat with lemon, orange or pineapple amongst our many options.

SiS are aiming at pro athletes, so hypertonic ratios could be beneficial forsustained, high-intensity exercise. For most of us, isotonic ratios should be more than enough for all but the most strenuous exercise. The body stores energy in the liver,and in muscles, as glycogen. Glycogen isa starchy polysaccharide carbohydrate made up of long chains of glucose. Glucose isa monosaccharide carbohydrate; or simple sugar.

Electrolytes are important to maintain hydration during exercise. They can also increase carbohydrateabsorption rate. I’m sure SiS have a good reason for not adding salt to their gels and energy powder, but I can’t find any research online that would explain it. I would create an all-in-one drink that has the ‘energy’ and the ‘electrolytes’ (sugar and salt). Can’t see what you’re looking for? If you can’t spot your favourite protein powder on sale in our clearance range, we’ll have you covered in our wide selection of products. If your energy levels need some help, our energy product range includes gels and powder especially formulated to provide a pre- or intra-workout energy boost. I think the area where this research is most applicable is the home-made energy drink. Whipping up a 500ml bottle of water with some maltodextrin, dextrose, salt and lemon juice is going to be much cheaper than buying SiS powder.It also won’t come with the flavourings, and sweeteners like aspartame, that they use. If you are planning a long, intense ride, replace the dextrose with white sugar. This will add fructose, and increase the 60g of carb per hour absorption rate.If a sports drinks is isotonic, it means that it contains similar concentrations of salt and sugar as found in the human body. If it’s hypertonic, it contains higher concentrations of salt and sugar than the human body. Too much salt is dangerous, so most hypertonic drinks just have more carbs. Hypotonic drinks have lower concentrations than the human body. They are designed to be consumed without water, minimising the risk of being bloated that can sometimes occur with over-drinking.

Our SiS REGO Rapid Recovery Powder is a complete recovery food supplement that delivers high carbohydrate and protein, as well as electrolytes and vitamins and minerals in a convenient drink for immediately after exercise.SIS Go Hydro Tablets are designed to help you stay hydrated during workouts. They come in various flavours like Cola & Caffeine, Lemon, Pineapple & Mango, Grapefruit, and Strawberry & Lime. Each refreshing serving is 9 calories! I believe one of the issues with the research is that it focuses on weightlifters andbody builders rather than runners and cyclists. Even the most intense lifting session isn’t going to deplete your glycogen stores in the same way as a long run or ride will.This could well be the reason SiS include much more carbs in their recovery powder than most body builder recipes recommend. Muscle glycogen can only be usedby muscles,whereas liver glycogencan be used for energy throughout the body. But, muscles can store up to 400g of glycogen, whereas the liver can only store up to 100g. The big problem with glucose and fructose is that they are sweet, especially when you’re aiming for 60g of carbs per hour. Imagine eating 15 teaspoons of white sugar every hour.

There are different types of sugars, depending on their formulation. Glucose is theform used by the body, also referred to as blood sugar, andsold as a supplement called Dextrose. Fructose is the form found in fruit. Then you have sucrose, a disaccharide, made up of a glucose and a fructose molecule bound together. Sucrose is what we know as white table sugar. There are other disaccharides such as lactose,found in milk,and maltose,found in malt and beer. These other formsaren’t as relevant to exercise. The three sugars above are the important ones for this discussion. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. REGO Rapid Recovery contains high quality protein with a complete amino acid profile enhanced by the addition of 2g of Leucine. A vitamin and mineral profile has also been included to support the recovery process by contributing to normal muscle function and protein synthesis High quality blend of carbohydrate (22g), protein (20g) and electrolytes with vitamins and minerals I didn’t know what all thatmeant, but I wanted to find out.I used to make protein shakes from MyProtein, and I figured it wouldn’t be hard to make my own ‘SiS’ mixes for a lot less.There is an argument about whey vs. soy protein. The research is contradictory, but whey seems to be better. I believe SiS are using soy protein because it’s suitable for vegans and people with a dairy intolerance.This makestheir products accessible to the widest audience possible. For home-made recovery powder (assuming you’re not vegan/intolerant to dairy) I would go with whey protein. Lemon and Lime: Water, Maltodextrin (from Maize) (33%), Gelling Agents (Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum), Natural Flavouring, Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate), Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate), Sweetener (Acesulfame K), Sodium Chloride, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid). Out of all the SiS products, the energy bar contains the most fructose; because of the dried fruit pieces it contains. They also contain protein (good for muscle recovery) and fibre. Based on my research, these aren’t ideal during exercise. This is partly due to the fibre, which can be hard to digest and cause an upset stomach. Like the gels, they are a good way of getting large quantities of carbs in a small volume. I think if you wanted some variety from the gels during your ride, there are tons of energy bar recipes online that will be better. Depleting your carbohydrate stores during exercise is one of the major causes of fatigue. Delivering additional carbohydrate during exercise is known to improve performance, race times and delay the onset of fatigue. Cherry: Water, Maltodextrin (from Maize) (33%), Gelling Agents (Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum), Natural Flavouring, Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate), Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate), Sweetener (Acesulfame K), Sodium Chloride, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).
