DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENERGY DRINKS

ISO DRINK

ISO DRINK, the star product when it comes to hydration. Minimalist and effective.

Designed for any athlete, trail runner, triathlete, cyclist, or anyone else, we prioritize hydration, so no matter what format (250-500-750ml) you choose to use, you'll always get a 6% concentration in your isotonic drink. This is the most effective concentration for hydration, according to the latest scientific evidence.

The first isotonic drink on the market that can be used in three different types of containers, providing a personalized dose at all times and achieving maximum hydration per bottle. Definitely the most versatile product in the FANTÉ product line. A pure classic, suitable for all intensities, durations, and weather conditions.

High energy intake but without forgetting that it is not a carbohydrate drink, it is a hydration drink, so we reduced from 67.5g that GLUT 5 DRINK contained with 9% to 45g of carbohydrates and 6% with the aim of making ISO DRINK the most effective isotonic drink on the market.

On the other hand, the combination of maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio has been scientifically proven to be optimal for carbohydrate absorption during intense exercise, so we continue to use the same formulation, as demonstrated by current scientific evidence.

At the electrolyte level , we only include the electrolytes the human body needs to maintain optimal hydration throughout exercise and allow the body to function properly. That's why we've included the minimum amount of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium you need per hour so that when we consume ISO DRINK , we forget about consuming salts or any other hydration-focused supplements. All in 1.

No digestive problems

Without excess carbohydrates or a concentration above 6%, ISO DRINK is absorbed in the body like water, avoiding gastrointestinal problems. On the other hand, without adding excess magnesium, which irritates the intestines, it greatly reduces the risk of digestive problems, which are often what cause us to fail in our goals.

100% natural

We added freeze-dried sour apple fruit, improving digestibility and reducing potential gastrointestinal problems caused by overuse of flavorings or aromas.

Gluten-free and 100% vegan

Corn maltodextrin, gluten-free and 100% vegan.

Simply science

Once again, FANTÉ creates a unique product on the market: the first isotonic drink that matches the 6% concentration in any bottle format. Available in 250ml, 500ml, and 750ml sizes.

Adding the unique and essential elements for an athlete's performance: carbohydrates (maltodextrin:fructose) in a 1:0.8 ratio, sour apple, without adding any aromas or flavorings, 100% real fruit, and finally, electrolytes in an adequate amount without over-saturating the digestive system.

GLUT 5 DRINK

The first single-dose product on the market based on scientific evidence. This means we don't exceed the maximum tolerable concentration of carbohydrates per 750ml bottle. Our concentration per 750ml bottle is 9%. See our directions for use.

The GLUT 5 DRINK is completely different. It is a unique combination of maltodextrin and fructose (1:0.8 ratio) that allows glucose uptake beyond 60 grams per hour, avoiding saturation of the Slgt-1 and glut 5 transporters (glucose and fructose respectively) and minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort.

It has a high sodium content, exactly 350mg, just like our gels, promoting hydration for athletes. With one single dose per hour, you'll be consuming the minimum amount of sodium your body needs to maintain homeostatic balance, avoiding dehydration problems. The higher your sweat rate, the greater the amount of sodium you'll need, with the minimum being 350mg up to 1.2g of sodium per hour/liter of water. For more information, consult our guides .

Summary

We want to achieve different goals depending on each athlete's nutritional strategy.

The GLUT 5 DRINK achieves the highest energy delivery per ounce per ml, allowing athletes to consume 67.5 grams of carbohydrates per hour with a single bottle. This prevents dehydration by strictly maintaining the 9% concentration per bottle.

The ISO DRINK achieves the fastest hydration rate, but with a high carbohydrate content: 45 grams per 750ml bottle. Maintaining a 6% concentration, which has been shown to be almost the same as water, it will hydrate us much faster and we will achieve better hydration control.

Both are ideal, but it will depend on the athlete and the strategy outlined for using one product or the other.

Our recommendation :

GLUT 5 DRINK + gels Gel hydro 35

ISO DRINK + gels Gel 60

Although any combination is possible, since we've considered all possible combinations, we'll achieve the minimum amount of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium per hour we should consume, without exceeding or falling short. Also, the amount of carbohydrates will be appropriate, between 70 and 100 grams of carbohydrates.
