Gleukos Sports Drink Mix - 18 Single Serve Packets

Gleukos™ is energy for athletes--the body's perfect natural fuel for performance before, during and after sport.

What's the primary ingredient in an IV? Glucose. Why? Because it's the quickest way to get energy back into the bloodstream.

So why not use a glucose-based, electrolyte enhanced drink before and during your sport or exercise too? Like an IV, Gleukos speeds energy straight to where you body needs it most. There's no faster way to deliver natural, long lasting energy to a body in motion. Gleukos energy drink contains glucose, the most simple form of carbohydrate. Gleukos, similar to an IV, requires no digestion, unlike sports drinks which contain fructose and sucrose, take time and energy to digest, and contain nearly two times the sugar. Gleukos also contains potassium and sodium to replenish electrolytes that are lost in sweat.

Glucose is a simple carbohydreate, or sugar. It is the most simplified form of energy (blood sugar), and the main energy currency of the body. Whether you are exercising or resting, your muscles use glucose for fuel. The harder or faster you work out, the more glucose you burn. Drinking Gleukos supplies your working muscles with glucose fuel. All other forms of carbohydrates have to be converted into glucose before your body can use it for fuel.

Size: 18 single serve packets per box, 1 packet makes 16 oz.
