At Escapa, we know that nutrition during your cycling workouts is of the utmost importance. That’s why we’re introducing the Santa Madre Unusual Fuel 100CHO 100 Caf Drink, a revolutionary beverage containing 100g of carbohydrates and 500mg of sodium, designed for consumption during long-distance rides. It allows you to absorb large amounts of carbohydrates without digestive issues.
SANTA MADRE UNUSUAL FUEL is an advanced formula for athletes who need exceptional carbohydrate availability. It provides 100 g of carbohydrates and 500 mg of sodium in 500 ml, allowing for intakes of more than 100 g/h with a 1:1 ratio (glucose:fructose).
Its development is based on direct experience with our ultra-endurance athletes and on physiological measurements taken during actual competition: cyclists have sustained intakes of more than 150 g h⁻¹ and trail runners more than 100 g/h without gastrointestinal discomfort. The 1:1 ratio maximizes the coordinated use of the GLUT1 and GLUT5 transporters, increasing absorption capacity and delaying fatigue.
This product is recommended for very long-duration events and for athletes who have previously trained using strategies for high carbohydrate availability.
Hydration: An Essential Requirement
Carbohydrate absorption requires sufficient water. Adjust your fluid intake according to the temperature:
• < 15 °C: For every 2 bottles (500 ml) of UNUSUAL FUEL, drink 1 bottle (500 ml) of water.
• 15–25 °C: For every 1 bottle of UNUSUAL FUEL, drink 1 bottle of water.
• > 25 °C: For every 1 bottle of UNUSUAL FUEL, drink 1.5 bottles of water (≈ 750 ml).
SANTAMADRE UNUSUAL FUEL is gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan-friendly. Available in neutral and mild lemon flavors, both of which are light and pleasant even after hours of exertion.
