At Escapa, we know that in endurance sports, every detail counts as the intensity increases. Santa Madre Lactate 60 offers a new sports nutrition strategy, combining carbohydrates and lactate in a Formula designed to help maintain performance during the most demanding moments
Energy and LactateEach gel provides 40 g of carbohydrates in a 1:1 glucose-fructose ratio along with 60 mmol of lactate, adding a complementary metabolic pathway to traditional energy strategies.
Santa Madre Lactate 60 is a completely liquid energy gel that provides 40 g of carbohydrates in a 1:1 ratio (glucose and fructose) along with 60 mmol of lactate and 250 mg of sodium per unit. This combination incorporates a metabolic pathway that complements traditional carbohydrate absorption thanks to MCT transporters, which are specifically utilized by lactate.
Designed for endurance sports such as cycling, running, Trail running, and triathlon, its liquid format facilitates consumption during exercise and offers an estimated activation time of between 7 and 10 minutes.
Performance
Its development is the result of months of research into the role of lactate in performance, hundreds of hours of testing with athletes, and the nutritional strategy used in collaboration with Yomif Kejelcha during his feat of breaking the two-hour marathon barrier.
While glucose and fructose use their own absorption pathways, lactate enters via an independent pathway through MCT transporters. This allows for the addition of an extra metabolic source within the same energy strategy.
Once absorbed, lactate is used as fuel, but it also acts as a signal that informs the body that exertion is increasing; this means it triggers all the body’s performance-oriented mechanisms, promoting the activation of those involved in the response to high-intensity exercise.
Details
- High intensity (less than 3 hours): Take a gel immediately after warming up; if the effort lasts more than 1 hour, take a gel every 40 minutes.
- Long-duration (more than 3 hours): Follow the recommendations in the table.
