Science in Sport Energy Drinks

Recently, I have been using a lot of energy and recovery drinks. With a tough training schedule, and warm weather, I have been relying on energy drinks to remain fuelled during a ride. Energy drinks are easier to absorb rather than eating on the move. In the winter when intensity is lower, I tend not to use energy or recovery drinks, but, in summer with more intense training I have been using them more.

I have been using Science in Sport PSP22 energy drinks and are quite pleased with them. Taste is an individual preference. But, it is not too sickly sweet, lemon flavour was fine – though I am not a big fan of flavoured drinks. It feels light on the stomach, which is a must for any energy drink.

To be honest, it can be difficult to compare one energy drink to another. The main thing that springs to mind is the taste. But, once you have got used to a certain energy drink and are happy with its sugar balance, it is good to stick with that.

Having said that I still like to have a bit of variety. When your drinking several bottles you can soon get bored! e.g. I sometimes will have a recovery drink during a ride.

The one frustration with Science in Sports drinks is that it is difficult to get right measurement. They suggest you need a science in Sport bottle and use those guidelines. Fine if you have a science in Sport bottle! I prefer having a scoop where you can measure according to size of water bottle and change depending on temperature (e.g. when hot, have a higher % of water)

The 500g tub makes 5 litres or 10 * 500ml bottles.
