SiS GO Electrolyte Powder Blackcurrant is a carbohydrate-rich sports drink for those who want to combine energy, fluid and electrolytes during physical activity. The powder is developed for use before and during exercise and is particularly suitable for longer sessions where the body's carbohydrate stores decrease while fluid and salts are lost through sweat.

Mix 40g of powder, equivalent to about two scoops, with 500ml of water . One finished serving provides 36g of carbohydrates in a solution with about 6% carbohydrate concentration. Science in Sport also states a sodium concentration of 20 mmol per litre.

The product contains four important electrolytes:

Sodium

Potassium

Calcium

Magnesium

One serving provides a total of 475.1 mg of electrolytes . The electrolytes make the product especially useful during longer or hotter activities where sweat loss is greater than during shorter and calmer workouts.

The carbohydrates come from a mixture of maltodextrin and fructose, making the drink a source of both hydration and energy, unlike regular electrolyte tablets which only contain a small amount of carbohydrates.

The Blackcurrant flavor has a distinct and fruity taste of blackcurrant. The powder dissolves easily in water and can be used in a regular sports bottle, soft bottle or hydration bladder.

The 500 gram jar provides approximately 12 servings according to the recommended dosage and is a convenient option for those who want to try the taste or bring a smaller jar with them on training camps and trips.

Ingredients

Carbohydrate blend with maltodextrin from corn and fructose, citric acid, electrolyte blend with sodium chloride, calcium lactate, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and magnesium citrate or magnesium lactate, natural flavor and sweetener.

Some current product labels list aspartame as a sweetener. The product then contains a source of phenylalanine and is not suitable for people with phenylketonuria. Always check the ingredient and allergen information on the packaging supplied as the recipe may be updated.

Recommended use

Fill a sports bottle with 500 ml of water.

Add 40 g of powder, about two scoops.

Close the bottle tightly.

Shake until the powder is completely dissolved.

Drink during your workout according to individual needs.

Science in Sport recommends drinking 500 ml of a ready-mixed drink every 45–60 minutes during physical activity. The need may be lower or higher depending on temperature, intensity, body size and individual sweat loss.

The manufacturer recommends weighing the powder for the most accurate dosage. Ready-mixed drink should be consumed within 24 hours.

Carbohydrates during prolonged activity

One serving provides 36 g of carbohydrates:

1 serving provides 36 g of carbohydrates

2 servings provide 72 g of carbohydrates

3 servings provide 108 g of carbohydrates

Science in Sport suggests 60–90g of carbohydrates per hour as a general guideline for endurance activity. SiS GO Electrolyte Powder can make up all or part of this intake and can be combined with energy gels, chews or bars as needed.

A higher carbohydrate intake should always be introduced gradually. Add up the carbohydrates from all products and test the energy plan during training before competition.

Suitable for

Running and long workouts

Trail running and ultra running

Road cycling and mountain biking

Gravel and bikepacking

Triathlon

Cross-country skiing

Vasaloppet and other long-distance races

Marathons and longer running races

Multisport and adventure races

Intensive indoor training

Training in hot weather

Activities where both carbohydrates and electrolytes are needed

Before training

GO Electrolyte Powder can be used before longer or more demanding workouts when you want to supply both fluid and carbohydrates.

Mix the drink according to the recommended dosage and consume it as part of your regular pre-workout plan. Adjust the amount based on when you last ate, the length of the activity, and how sensitive your stomach is.

During training

The product is primarily designed for use during physical activity. It is particularly suitable when:

The session is longer than about 60–90 minutes

The intensity is high.

The temperature is hot.

You sweat a lot.

It's hard to eat solid energy

You want to combine energy and drink in the same bottle

For very long sessions, the drink can be combined with other energy sources to create variety in both taste and texture.

Sports drink or electrolyte tablet?

SiS GO Electrolyte Powder contains both carbohydrates and electrolytes. One serving provides 36 g of carbohydrates and therefore makes a clear contribution to the energy plan.

SiS Hydro Tablets contain electrolytes but only a very small amount of carbohydrates and energy.

Choose GO Electrolyte when:

The drink should provide energy

You exercise longer or more intensely

You want to combine carbohydrates and electrolytes

You prefer liquid energy

Choose Hydro when:

You mainly need electrolytes and fluids

Carbohydrates are taken from gels, bars or other foods

The workout is shorter

You want a drink with low energy content

SiS GO Electrolyte or Beta Fuel?

SiS GO Electrolyte Powder:

36 g carbohydrates per 500 ml

475.1 mg electrolytes

Approximately 6% carbohydrate solution

Adapted for energy and fluid planning

SiS Beta Fuel:

Developed for a higher carbohydrate intake

Uses 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio

Suitable for longer activities and more advanced energy plans

Provides a larger amount of carbohydrates per serving

GO Electrolyte is well suited as an all-purpose sports drink, while Beta Fuel is primarily aimed at energy plans with a higher carbohydrate intake.

Fluid and energy planning

The need for fluid and energy varies between different people. It is influenced by, among other things:

Activity duration

Training intensity

Temperature and humidity

Body size

Individual sweat rate

How much salt you lose through sweat

Other food and fluid intake

Avoid drinking more than your body can handle. Plan your fluid intake based on thirst, previous experience, and current conditions.

Storage

Store the jar in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Protect the powder from moisture, direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Always use a dry scoop. If moisture gets into the jar, the powder may clump.

The ready-mixed drink should be consumed within 24 hours. Keep refrigerated if not to be consumed immediately.

Important to consider

The product contains carbohydrates and is not a calorie-free electrolyte drink. The carbohydrates need to be included in your total energy intake during activity.

Always follow the ingredient and allergen information on the relevant packaging. Variants containing aspartame also contain a source of phenylalanine.

Dietary supplements and sports nutrition do not replace a varied and balanced diet.
