Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Super High‑Carb during a ride?
Start by planning total calories needed per hour and divide pouch accordingly; the pouch contains 400 kcals total and 8 servings. Sip regularly rather than jamming in a large bolus — the low viscosity and osmolality help it move through the gut, so frequent small intakes are easier to tolerate during high intensity efforts.
What mixing ratio should I use?
Follow the mixing directions printed on the pouch for accurate concentrations. Because Super High‑Carb is engineered for low viscosity, many riders find it easy to dilute to taste — adjust slightly up or down to match your GI comfort and thirst. If you need exact ratios for osmolarity, use the pouch directions as your baseline.
Will this upset my stomach when I’m riding hard?
Super High‑Carb is formulated to minimize GI distress: Cluster Dextrin is highly soluble and digests steadily, and the product’s low osmolality and thin consistency promote gastric emptying. However, individual tolerance varies — test it in training before race day and start with small sips during intense efforts.
Can I mix this with other supplements or electrolytes?
Yes—Super High‑Carb supplies concentrated calories and is designed to be compatible with electrolyte mixes and other supplements. Avoid doubling concentrated mixes in the same bottle; instead, combine with an electrolyte base or use separate bottles to maintain the intended osmolality and electrolyte balance.
Is Super High‑Carb suitable for special diets?
Yes. The formula is vegan, gluten‑free, non‑GMO and kosher, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary needs. It contains no caffeine, so it pairs well with caffeine gels or shots if you want a stimulant boost.
How should I store opened pouches and how long do they last?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best quality, use an opened pouch within a few months — check the printed best‑by date and follow any storage instructions on the pouch. If powder clumps slightly, break them up before mixing.
Buying Guide
Choose a high‑carb drink mix when you expect to expend more energy than you can comfortably replace with solid food — long solo efforts, stage races, or events with limited feed zones are common use cases. Look for low osmolality, high solubility (Cluster Dextrin is an excellent example), and a viscosity that’s easy to sip from your bottles and aero systems. When buying, consider pack size (pouches vs tubs), flavor options, and dietary needs. If you’re unsure about tolerance, buy a single pouch to test in training before committing to a race‑day fueling plan.
