For decades, sports nutrition has pursued a single goal: delivering ever more carbohydrate. Lactate 60 is a fully liquid gel that combines 40 g of carbohydrate in a 1:1 ratio with 60 millimoles of lactate, introducing a new nutrition strategy for endurance sports. It does not replace carbohydrate, but complements it: the future of performance is not only about delivering more energy, but also about better understanding how the metabolism responds when working close to its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 g Carbohydrate per Gel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio for a high carbohydrate intake per hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 mmol Lactate:\u003c\/strong\u003e an additional metabolic route via the MCT transporters (monocarboxylate transporters), independent of glucose and fructose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLactate as Fuel and Signal:\u003c\/strong\u003e once absorbed, lactate serves as a fuel source, but it also acts as a physiological signal that activates the adaptation mechanisms for high-intensity training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Liquid Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy to take while running, cycling and racing triathlon, with an onset time of 7 to 10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e250 mg Sodium per Gel:\u003c\/strong\u003e fits alongside your hydration strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith or Without Caffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e the caffeine version provides 100 mg of caffeine per gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCologne List:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified and tested for doping-relevant substances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Role of Lactate:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile glucose and fructose are absorbed via their own transport routes, lactate follows an independent route via the MCTs. This provides an additional metabolic route within the same energy strategy. Once absorbed, lactate is used as a fuel source, but it also acts as a physiological signal that tells the body training intensity is rising. This helps trigger the body's natural performance-related responses and activates the mechanisms involved in adapting to high-intensity training. Lactate 60 is therefore designed not only to deliver energy, but also to help the body keep managing and using that energy as intensity increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts development is the result of months of research into the role of lactate in performance, hundreds of hours of testing with elite athletes and the nutrition strategy applied together with Yomif Kejelcha during his attempt to break the two-hour marathon barrier.
