When to consume Boost™ Drink Mix?

Boost™ Drink Mix is our most versatile fuel, engineered to support sustained energy levels while prioritizing digestive comfort in all kinds of situations.Usage Guidelines:

— Effort Intensity: High intensity and competition. From holding a steady aerobic zone to pushing through a vertical climb.

How does the Boost™ Drink Mix tastes?

Boost™ Drink Mixes taste were developed to answer the needs of the most demanding athletes any any conditions: from the fast pace of a marathon to the moderate pace of an ultra, from the cold races above the arctic circle to hotest desert races.

The light sweetness is obtained by the use of sugars with a low sweetening power to help prevent sugar fatigue.

Most drink mixes are thick and too sweet. We’ve designed Boost™ to be different: a clean, light sweetness with a smooth, fluid texture that goes down easily, even when your heart rate is redlining.

— Anti-Sugar Fatigue: We use sugars with low sweetening power, preventing that "sticky-sweet" throat burn common in traditional drink mixes.

— All-Climate Consistency: Tested from Arctic freezes to Sahara heat. The drink mix remains easy to consume, no matter the temperature.

— The Finish: Refreshing and functional, so you can fuel every hour without flavor burnout.

Which Boost™ Drink Mix flavour is right for me?

While every Boost™ Drink Mix serving delivers a core 60g of Carbohydrates, each flavour is precision-engineered for a specific physiological need:

Neutral — Designed with an unflavoured, "zero-fatigue" profile. Ideal for the later stages of an Ultra when your palate rejects sweetness.

Salted Cucumber — Packed with 2 times more Sodium (500mg per serving) and a refreshing cucumber taste. Choose this for high-sweat sessions or hot climates to help maintain the main mineral loss balance.
