The main advantages:

• Contributes to maintaining performance during long-term endurance exercise
• Increases water absorption during exercise
• 20% isomaltulose for gradual energy release
• An effective antioxidant system (zinc, manganese, selenium and vitamins C and E) helps protect cells from oxidative stress
• Extends the ability to deliver maximum performance

Why use?

Loss of water and minerals through sweat, along with the gradual depletion of energy sources, are the main causes of decreased performance. Depending on the type of sport and the intensity of the load, especially in endurance races, they can reach significant values. Lack of water is manifested by the gradual thickening of the blood and the increase in its viscosity, which is a huge burden on the heart and kidneys and, together with overheating of the body, leads to a dramatic decrease in performance and serious health complications. . The adverse effects of dehydration can be effectively countered with appropriate ionic drinks.

The advantages of Penco® ENERGY DRINK include, in addition to the optimal ratio of electrolytes (Na, K, Mg, Cl, Ca, P and others), an increased content of glucose polymers (maltodextrin) and a high content of the special saccharide isomaltulose.

The advantage of glucose polymers is that they do not increase the osmolality of the drink too much, thus allowing effective rehydration during high energy expenditure due to intense endurance exercise. Another positive feature of the ionic drink is the higher content of antioxidant vitamins C + E and key elements of the antioxidant system (selenium + zinc + manganese), which protect the overloaded body from the danger of "oxidative stress" caused by oxygen free radicals. . Increased production of free radicals occurs not only as a result of harmful substances in the external environment, but also as a result of demanding training.

The energy source is simple sugars (glucose and sucrose), complex carbohydrates (maltodextrins) and the single disaccharide isomaltulose (PALATINOSE TM) for the gradual release of energy. The Penco® ENERGY DRINK composition contains 20% PALATINOSE TM. The saccharide isomaltulose was discovered in 1957. It occurs naturally in honey and cane sugar. It is produced from sucrose by the enzymatic conversion of the 1,2-glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose to a 1,6-bond. Because of this different bond, isomaltulose is more stable than sucrose and is metabolized more slowly without significantly increasing blood glucose levels.

Isomaltulose is the first slowly digestible sugar that provides the muscles and brain with the same amount of energy (4 kcal/g) as sucrose or glucose, but over a longer period of time. While regular sugar or glucose is consumed by the body very quickly and the blood sugar level drops to the initial value after about 60 minutes, the carbohydrate isomaltulose is metabolized much more slowly and the blood sugar level is completely depleted only after 2 hours. PALATINOSA TM is characterized by a low glycemic index (GI) and low insulin response, is gentle on the teeth and suitable for diabetics.

Who is ENERGY DRINK suitable for?

Endurance athletes who use Penco© ENERGY DRINK with isomaltulose before and during exercise tolerate intense physical stress better and are able to perform at their peak for longer.

Penco® ENERGY DRINK is intended for all athletes, especially endurance athletes, whose sports activity exceeds 1.5 hours. These are mainly longer cycling, triathlons, running training sessions and races.

Preparation and dosage

Drink just before exercise and then every 10-15 minutes, depending on time, intensity of exercise and ambient temperature.
