Mix it
yourself.

Premium sports nutrition is mostly maltodextrin, fructose, and clever packaging. We give you the recipes, sell you the powder, and let you mix race-grade fuel for what a single supermarket gel costs.

Recipes

Three mixes,
written down.

N.01

Base Endurance Gel

Rides 2–4 h, steady effort

90 g CHO / hr · 2:1 malto:fructose

The everyday workhorse. Cheap maltodextrin and fructose in the ratio your gut can actually absorb. Add water, shake, pour into your flask.

N.02

Race-Day High-Carb

Race efforts > 90 min

120 g CHO / hr · 1:0.8 malto:fructose

Pushes the upper limit of intestinal carb transport. Trained guts only — practice this one in long workouts before you trust it on a start line.

N.03

Recovery + Creatine

Post-session, within 30 min

30 g CHO · 20 g protein · 5 g creatine

Whey isolate, dextrose, and creatine monohydrate. Mix with milk or water. The creatine is the cheap muscle-building trick most endurance athletes leave on the table.

Starter Kit

Six months of fuel,
for the price of two months of gels.

Maltodextrin, fructose, creatine, sodium citrate, a measuring scoop, and a printed recipe card. Everything you need to stop spending 300 kr on a four-hour ride.
