Details

There is a tremendous need for a sports drink formulated specifically for the heat, and eLoad is that drink! We could say that your sports drink has many important physiological "jobs", but in the heat, the most important job of your sports drink is prevention and control of heat stress, primarily by replacing sweat electrolytes and fluid as they are lost. If electrolyte balance is maintained within, and you supply enough fluid to replace losses, you are well on your way to success in the heat!

Dextrose, the principal carbohydrate in e load, is a high glycemic carbohydrate that is rapidly absorbed and yields instant energy. Additionally, dextrose is the carbohydrate of choice for a sports drink made to combat heat stress. The biggest reason for this is that dextrose actually facilitates sodium absorption from the small intestine, unlike other carbohydrates. This is why many oral medical rehydration solutions contain dextrose as the principal carbohydrate. Also, the presence of dextrose and sucrose together may enhance each other's absorption (enhanced 'solute flux'), and maybe more important than the osmolality of the carbohydrates themselves.
