03 carb sources. 02 pathways. 01 formula. 0 gut issues.

Carbs move faster when you use more than one source. 02 During blends maltodextrin, glucose and fructose in a 2:1:1,5 ratio. Maltodextrin lowers osmotic pressure at equal grams versus single sugars. Glucose fuels rapidly. Fructose adds parallel uptake when gut-trained and tested at intensity.

Glucose uses SGLT1, which commonly becomes rate-limited near 60 g/h in race feeding volumes. Fructose uses GLUT5. Two transporters work in parallel. Total carbohydrate uptake and oxidation odds increase when the gut is conditioned and doses are trialled at race pace.

One formula combining 45 g of carbohydrate and 343 mg of sodium per drink portion supports fluid uptake via sodium-dependent co-transport of carbohydrate and water, helping maintain plasma volume as sweat losses rise. Hydration support comes from the integrated carbohydrate-sodium system, not sodium alone.
