Affordable cost to carb ratio allowing athletes to fuel properly while training and racing.
30g carbs per stick
200mg sodium in select flavours
2:1 glucose to fructose ratio
You can customize the amount of carbs you want, the amount of electrolytes you want, and the consistency. For example, if you are aiming for 90g of carbs and 400mg of sodium, you can use 2 Dig Deep flavoured sticks (30g of carbs and 200mg sodium each) and 1 Dig Deep original stick (30g of carbs, no electrolytes).
It's up to you depending on your fueling needs. If you'd like the consistency to be thicker, you can use 2-3 sticks in a small flask (~150ml). If you'd like it to be more dilute, you can use 1-4 sticks in a 500ml flask or bottle.
The flavours have electrolytes (200mg of sodium per stick) but the original doesn't have electrolytes.
As many as you need to reach your desired carb intake for your personal fueling strategy. It's generally recommended to consume 60-90g of carbs per hour during activity that lasts for longer than 60 minutes.
Consuming carbohydrates for activities that last longer than 60 minutes eliminates the dreaded "bonk". Glycogen stores (your body's source of energy in endurance sports) can fully deplete within 90 minutes to 2 hours. If you consume carbs before your stores are depleted, you will be able to continue running/cycling without feeling energy depleted.
Fueling during the run prevents muscle breakdown by continually giving your body readily available carbohydrates to use as fuel. It also promotes quicker recovery, allowing you to feel fresher for your next training session.
