What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've been using the Victus 02 During Drink on long training rides, and the triple-source carbohydrate formula is the reason I keep coming back to it. The maltodextrin, glucose, and fructose hitting different absorption pathways means I'm getting a consistent energy supply without the gut pressure I used to get from single-source carbohydrate drinks at high intake rates. The 241mg of sodium per sachet keeps hydration on track even on hot days without tasting like a salt tablet."Hour three of a long ride is where fueling strategy either holds or falls apart. The Victus 02 During Drink is built to hold, delivering 45 grams of carbohydrate per sachet through a 2:1:1. 5 ratio of maltodextrin, glucose, and fructose that saturates multiple intestinal absorption pathways simultaneously rather than competing for one. The result is a higher rate of carbohydrate absorption with less gastrointestinal stress, which means energy output stays consistent from the first hour through the last without the gut issues that high single-source carbohydrate intake can create at race pace. The 241mg of sodium per serving keeps fluid absorption on track and replaces what sweat takes, and the formula is identical in dose to the Victus 02 During Gel and Caf Gel, meaning athletes can switch formats mid-race or across sessions without recalculating intake. Every batch is independently screened by LGC Systems under the same standard used by Informed Sport, and with 10 sachets per pack, the 02 During Drink covers a full block of training without running short.
