The details
Cross-referenced with PubMed & Examine.com
Glucose-based carbs plus fructose use two separate gut transporters, allowing intakes up to ~90g/hr with less stomach upset than a single sugar.
Sodium is the main electrolyte lost in sweat; replacing it supports fluid balance in long or hot sessions.
Around 3mg per kg of body weight reliably improves endurance performance and focus; count all caffeine sources across the day.
