Re: Help me calculate an at home "maurten" drink (im bad at math) [BNothling]
I have had a few PM’s about how to make the mix or where to get all the supply’s/tools.

Here is what I recommend for the Dr.Alex starter kit.

This is all available on Amazon.

Scale:

Ozeri ZK14-S Pronto Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale, Black, 8.25 https://www.amazon.com/...p_apip_k1VfqpSfXe2ot

Maltodextrin:

NOW Sports Nutrition, Carbo Gain Powder (Maltodextrin), Rapid Absorption, Energy Production, 8-Pound https://www.amazon.com/...JX8S4WN4SCRR02DH3W14

Fructose:

NOW Natural Foods, Fructose, Pure Crystalline Frustose, Excellent Substitute for Sugar, Certified Non-GMO and Kosher, 3-Pound (Packaging May Vary) https://www.amazon.com/...oding=UTF8&psc=1

Sodium citrate:

Judee's Sodium Citrate - 2lb - 100% Non-GMO, Keto-Friendly - Gluten-Free & Nut-Free - Food Grade - Great for Molecular Gastronomy Cooking https://www.amazon.com/...p_apip_rW6KHBANC52gM

Gatorade:

Gatorade Thirst Quencher Powder,... https://www.amazon.com/...ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Storage:

2 Pack - 1.28 Gallon White Square... https://www.amazon.com/...ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Keep in mind that the only items you should be changing in the formula is the sodium and Gatorade. If you want more sodium you can increase the citrate (although the formula I provided has a lot) and if you want to add more or less flavor you can change the Gatorade amount or flavor. The Gatorade is acting as some electrolyte and flavoring in the system.

This 1:.08 recommendation is what most of the most popular formula companies are currently using. If you want a 100g/hr carb bottle simply weigh out 100g of powder into your bottle and there you have it.

I recommend you start out with 50g/hr and see how it does over 1-2 rides and increase from there. I found that 100g was too much for me but 50g left me hungry, no matter what I had muscular power/endurance however.
