MAXIM ENERGY DRINK

"Click"on photo to enlarge

Maxim Energy Drink is a powder product which makes a refreshing sports drink, when mixed with water. During exercise it is important to optimize your fluid balance and to ensure that the glycogen store in your muscles does not get depleted.

A fluid loss of 2% of your body weight, can reduce your performance by 10-20%!

Other effects of dehydration include cramps, headache and overheating.  During exercise, besides fluid, you also lose glycogen (energy) and minerals. A depletion of your glycogen store, can reduce your performance by as much as 50%. The best remedy is to drink a hypotonic sports drink during exercise. Maxim Energy Drink contains the ingredients your body needs to restore the fluid balance, carbohydrate store (glycogen) and minerals.

Maxim Energy Drink has been particularly developed as a hypotonic thirst quencher. Its optimal composition of maltodextrin, sucrose, vitamins and minerals ensures a fast energy supply and an optimal hydration. It optimizes your performance and delays weariness. You will feel fit and energetic!

4 Flavours: Lemon & Lime, Orange & Lemon, Peach Iced Tea and Tropical Punch

  • The drink can be composed to your taste (2 scoops = less sweet / 3 scoops = sweet).
  • Contains sucrose for fast energy and maltodextrin for continuous energy.
  • Contains vitamin B12, and vitamin B1 to support the carbohydrate metabolism.

Usage:

You can prepare Maxim Energy Drink in 2 solutions: a sweet and a less sweet drink. For a sweet energy drink, dissolve 3 levelled scoops of powder in 750 ml of water. Shake until the powder has dissolved completely. For a less sweet drink, dissolve 2 levelled scoops in 750ml of water [more info].

During exercise:
The quantity of Energy Drink to consume during exercise depends on the individual athlete, the weather conditions, the intensity and duration of exercise. Nevertheless, we will give you some general guidelines.

1.  Drink 200-500 ml just before exercise to start well-hydrated.

2.  Drink 200 ml every 15-20 minutes to maintain your fluid balance.

Advice:
When you are not used to drinking during exercise, try this during training. Increase the quantity you drink gradually to 200 ml per 15-20 minutes. It will improve your performance.

Note: drink 300 ml per 15-20 minutes during hot weather conditions

After exercise:
Drink approximately 500 ml Energy Drink immediately after exercise to recuperate your fluid balance.

Note: After an intensive exercise longer than 1 hour, we suggest you also use a Recovery (drink or bar) for a faster recuperation of the glycogen store and the muscles. Consume the Recovery products after having consumed 500ml Energy Drink.

Tip: If you prefer the less sweet Energy Drink, but you wish to obtain a higher carbohydrate content, dissolve 2 levelled scoops of Energy Drink and 1 levelled scoop of Energy Mix in 750ml water. This is also a hypotonic drink and therefore absorbed faster by the body than plain water. It contains 74g carbohydrates per litre (of which 71% maltodextrin and 29% sucrose).
