I make it just whit simple table sugar and sodium citrate. Great energy no issue on the stommag. 70g on 500ml and 2g sodium citrate. Works really good !! Also recovery is good after session.
This is the bomb, exactly what I was waiting for since one of your earlier vids on diy nutrition. It's insane how cheap and easy to get by these products are. Thanks a ton, Will!
Pleasure Lars! Glad you like them - really is crazy the mark up they add for just flavouring and preservatives really! Oh would massively appreciate the share to your friends too!
Just to confirm. 60g of carbs in a one litre bottle = 6% = Isotonic mix. And if I heard correctly, an isotonic drink mix won't hydrate you? Great video. Just bought the ingredients.
Great video Will, short, sweet, packed with useful info and to the point. I have been making my own stuff to the quantities you prescribe for a season now and pretty much stopped using gels. I have not been adding salt though (I will start). I use citric acid, lemon juice flavour essentially, in crystaline form to give it flavour which works well. Mixing is made easy using a blender/juicer thingy.
Thanks so much Steve! Glad you found it super helpful and hope the homemade drinks are making a difference. You can use an electrolyte doesn't need to be salt, it's just a cheaper or emergency alternative.
@@WillGirling I watched one previously that started going into the merits of honey over sugar. IMO refined sugar for a sports drink is absolutely fine so I switched off and found yours.
This has been super helpful. Thank you! Would there be any benefit to using sodium citrate instead of table salt? If so, would I just do 1g of sodium citrate instead of 1g of table salt?
Thanks so much bud!! Definitely a massive saver and the bonus of having it how you want is ideal! Would massively appreciate the share to your friends to share
Thanks for a great channel! As a type 1 diabetic, I intend to make this kind of homemade energy drink to maintain stable blood sugar levels for endurance aerobic excersise (my case roadcycling).

Hi Will, thanks a lot! still in love with them DIY energy bars :) added some candied ginger too it and love it! also love the "fast track Pho" always was in the kichen for hours... now it's possible even after a ride ;) Many thanks Regarding this one: the 1g of NaCl (or any oder electrolyte) is for the 100ml?

Hello Will! I am a big fan of your videos! I have been mixing my sports drinks myself for years, just like you described in the video. I also add Cream of Tartar to the drink because of the balance of sodium and potassium.
Hey JT thanks so much for loving the videos bud!! Any sharing with others you ride with is much appreciated. Hows the cream of tartar taste in a drink ay?
Thank you for the video! Any thoughts on teeth health? I am going to make a really conentrated hypertonic drink and sip it over a couple of hours. My guess is that it will be more acidic and that would eat away at the enamel of my teeth more, right?
Hi Will , very nice and exaustive video about fueling and hydration (and money Saving 🤣🤣) i was wondering about flavouring The carb mixture using one of The many flavoured Electrolyte tabs (like sis ,powerbar,nuun etc) instaed using salt or The 1gr of Electrolyte, what do you think about it? Just to have an extra flavour , just because i freakin love berry flavour of those one .
Great video; just bought the ingredients but I'm a bit confused about how much salt to use per 100ml or did you mean per drink? 🤔 1g of salt to how much water?
Hey David, that would be 1g per bidon - a typical electrolyte tab is around 400-500mg Sodium. 1g salt is 400mg sodium. You can of course buy a bag of electrolyte which is significantly cheaper than the effervescent tabs
Hey Will stumbled upon your channel thanks to Francis, great content ! I subscribed instantly :) A little question on this one though : Shouldn't a good energy drink add at least a bit of potassium ? If my understanding is correct, sweat doesn't have much Ca and Mag per Liter, so one doesn't lose much when exercising and therefore you don't need to complexify your drink with those, but potassium amounts seems significant enough. Maybe cut a third or half of the water in the mix to replace it with coconut water or something similar ? What would you recommend ?
Yeah so if you buy commercial electrolyte - link in the description - then it would have potassium in too but just salt is a solid choice too if you're in a pinch. The main electrolyte lost is Sodium and you could get potassium from a banana if you wanted... or yeah use coconut water if you wanted... though a bit pricier. Oh and thanks for the sub really appreciate it and thanks for liking the channel
Hey Will thanks for the vidio Question can it be possible if you can make a vidio how to make one of each drinks. And another question if i have 90g of carbs in a 600ml bottle it will be a hypertonic or isotonic drink? Can i use a hypertonic drink in a 1 hour vo2 max bike workout
Hi Will, loving your content. I've been making my own "gu" for a while in a similar fashion, but might switch to drink mixtures. Here's a question i've been unable to find an answer to: What's the difference in how the body will process hypo/iso/hypertonic drinks? Let's say between a 60g Maltodextrin and 30g Fructose in 770ml water (isotonic) and 30g Maltodextrin and 60g Sugar in the same 770ml water (hypertonic)? Both have the same quantity of water, glucose, and fructose. I suspect the answer is that the hypertonic mix will reduce your water reserves 470ml to make up for that missing water (which depending on the heat and event duration could be problematic), but let's say you drink another half bottle to compensate - where does this water go? I think two bottles is the ideal method - one isotonic carbs and the other just salt+water (drink the isotonic one at a constant rate, the salty one to make up for water loss), and that there is no good reason to even think about using sugar rather than malto+fructose, but I feel like I'm missing a piece of information here. Maybe make a video about the details of hydration?
Hey Jeffery! Thanks for reaching out! In the first question both of those are exactly the same the latter is not hypertonic as it's the same % concentration per 100ml so would be the same and sugar works just as well for that situation but consideration of your teeth should be there. But if it were hypertonic then it can take a little longer to absorb is all and if contiued for long durations may cause GID distress
@@WillGirling how about the impact to body hydration? I thought isotonic was essentially neutral (not hydrating or making you more thirsty), or did I totally misunderstand this?
Of course thinking that through, I must have been mistaken or we'd need do drink tons of water on long rides (which doesn't match my experience). It does feel that way when drinking though - isotonic or heavier doesn't feel hydrating.
Hi Will, so if i understand the quantities are measure from the fructose, meaning hypotonic 3-5 g per mil using 1 g of salt or electrolytes per bottle and double the amount of fructose for the maltodextrin, so for a 550 ml bottle (16.5 to 27.5 of fructose, 33 to 55 grams of maltodextrin and 1 g of sodium) the same formula for the isotonic and the hypertonic but adjusting the quantities of carb and maltodextrin according to ml content, im right?
Bulk are currently out of stock what other brand do you recommend ? Also thanks for the video man I’ve watched you on Francis channel and stumbled across this when trying to figure out how to to make training cheaper but as effective !
@@WillGirling yes I’ve ordered some of the internet and yeah I’ve been telling my mates about it hopefully it comes soon and can get on top of the fuel game 👌
Hey Will, thank you for this video! I was wondering what is your suggestion for flavourings. Also what would the taste be like if we only mix fructose, malto and salt. Thanks!
Hey bud, so if you put no flavouring in it can taste like just slightly sweet water. if a week % solution is used you probably won't taste anythign. I typically suggest just a sugar free squash/cordial.
Nothing bud - unless you want to make it a HIIT training session could do that on just a coffee and have breakfast after. If you really need something piece of fruit would be ideal
Thanks for this! Any tips on flavouring? I guess that it's just like sweet water. Although I'm wondering if that is a good thing, I can really get tired of the flavoured things into a ride. Edit: I can see that bulkpowders has a dextrose/maltodextrin blend that's flavoured. Any difference in using that vs. only maltodextrin?
Yeah it's pretty neautral tasting with lower %s being more so and higher ones being a just a little sweet. Can use sugar free cordial to help flavour if you want. Dextrose and maltodextrin are one and the same - so not sure why that's a thing but can defintiely opt for it if you want
@@WillGirling Thanks! I'll have a go at making it. I've considered before if its worth it to combine fructose and maltodextrin (like SIS beta fuel). Seems like there is a business case for it :)
with the hypertonic drinks, you mentioned GI issues if youre not trained in it.This aligns with how my gut feels anytime i try hypertonic drinks on longer rides. Any advice on how to "train" your body to consuming hypertonics? great vid.
Yeah buddy great question - try reducing the ratio. So, if you're hitting say 90g of 80g like in beta fuel try dropping it to 60g/70g and doing this twice a week for 2 weeks then upping it from there. Remember though if your bottle has 80/90g in and you're eating on top it's obviously going to get a bit tricky. But twice a week gut training regime is my recommendation and why I use with people like yourself that I work with privately
Hey Will great video, just a quick one if you don't mind, what brands would you go to for your raw ingredients particularly on the carb side? I'm assuming like all things these products are not created equal despite what the packaging and marketing say.
The information is good, but it feels very loose. You show malto, dextrose and sodium chloride but no recipe, just ratio per 100mL. I think it would be more helpful to say you have a 500mL or 750mL bottle, this is how much to use in each bottle. 2nd, you show sodium chloride, but then link electrolyte powder. I think the powder is better of course but it was a bit confusing. Lastly, if you were only going to mix 3 ingredients, Id recommend people to add sodium citrate over sodium chloride as the chloride will taste really bad, and as a salty sweater you won't be able to add as much. Happy to see the videos coming, keep up the good work!
Cheers for the comment bud. The way ive explained it allows you to make 3 drinks to whatever amount of fluid you're having. Making it more personal to you, your choice, ride that day and plan. So, hydrating or carb focus etc. Everyone can work it out for whatever bottle size they have or camelbak or running bottle and so on. I do say salt or electrolyte powder and both provide the same sodium mg per 1g. Both are valid and both work and provide options not everyone has supplements but has salt. But yes it wont taste great for high strengths but electrolyte strength is very personal to the individual and should be done based on testing or strong anecdotal evidence if youre taking large quantities. Its fructose not dextrose btw bud Appreciate your time to comment though and glad you still liked it nonetheless
They should taste pretty neutral at low concentrations but just sweet water at the higher levels. But add some sugar free cordial or lemon/lime juice if you want
Hi, would this work using dextrose instead of fructose? Nothing comes up for the link on fructose i guess its been discontinued i also looked on my protein and they only have dextrose.
I did a video th-cam.com/video/C1FvjUibpzI/w-d-xo.html on the top 5 supplements for you to use - I will probably refilm in my new setup at somepoint too
hey will, I don't know if you still reply to comments on this vid, if im doing an hour cycle ride what drink would you suggest and then if im doing a 3 hour what would you suggest? cheers
I do indeed Max! I would go for just water on a 1 hour ride with maybe electrolyte. and I would go for Iso or Hypo on 3 hours depending on how hot it is
