EnduraPower – How much do I use?
1) For Endurance sports: Swim, Cycle/MTB, Run/Trail:
(Excluding Enduro Riders – see your instructions below)
Suggested dosage and intake according to bodyweight:
Bodyweight x ~8ml to ~10ml /hr. (Although, this may vary according to personal preference).
50kgs = 1 scoop in 500ml water. Drink ~400-500ml per hour
75kg = 1.5 scoops in 750ml water per hour. Drink ~600-750ml per hour
100kg = 2 scoops in 1 litre water. Drink ~800-1000ml per hour
2) For Enduro Riders ONLY (Motorbikes/Roof of Africa)
Because the intensity of your sport is so great, you need to mix 2 scoops of EnduraPower per litre of water. Do not water it down. So your 3 litre hydration pack will have 6 scoops of EnduraPower.
Suggested dosage and intake according to bodyweight:
Bodyweight x 10ml or 11ml /hr. (Although, this may vary according to personal preference).
90kgs = Drink 900ml -1 litre per hour. In other words, your 3 litre hydration pack should last you ~3.5 hours. Read more here
Please note however: Personal preference, type and intensity of your sport, training history, gender, age, medical history, ambient temperature all affect hydration rate. Please discuss you hydration strategy with your medical doctor.

Racing Tip for Swim, Cycle/MTB, Run/Trail: (Excluding Enduro Riders)
To cancel “taste fatigue”, switch from EnduraPower to GT Gel and water ONLY in your water bottles. Decant GT Gel into our paceandpower tiny pocket bottle: There is enough fuel and electrolytes for ~3 hours of high heart rate racing or training WITH WATER ONLY.
Note: Enduro Riders need to use GT Gel in addition to EnduraPower (not switch from one to the other). Read more here
