When you’re out there pushing yourself to the extremes – whether it’s a long run, an intense bike ride, or any endurance activity – your body needs a steady stream of energy. That’s where the STYRKR MIX90 Dual-Carb Energy Drink Mix comes in. Each 95g serving delivers 90g of carbohydrates, providing a balanced energy source to keep you going strong.

It’s made with all-natural ingredients, including maltodextrin and fructose, which are quickly absorbed by the body. The addition of L-Glutamine helps reduce the accumulation of ammonia in the blood, preventing fatigue and improving performance. Plus, the inclusion of electrolytes ensures that you’re staying hydrated and replenishing essential minerals lost through sweat.

Who it’s for:

Perfect for endurance athletes – think multi-hour rides, trail runs, or ultra-athletes – needing maximum carbohydrate fuel and hydration without the caffeine boost.

What it does:

Delivers 90g of fast and sustained carbs in a single mix, with electrolytes to support hydration and 3g of L‑glutamine to help reduce fatigue. Engineered to minimise gut distress during prolonged effort.

How I’d use it:

Mix one sachet with approx. 500ml water and sip steadily during sessions lasting over 60 minutes. This is your go-to when you need high-calorie, fluid fuel that performs long past the 1‑hour mark.

The Science:

Effects of Maltodextrin–Fructose Supplementation on Oxidation and Endurance Response

Study: In a randomised cross-over design, athletes consuming a mixed maltodextrin:fructose drink (circa 80g carbs/hour, 2:1 ratio) during high-intensity endurance running (up to 90% of vVO₂max) were compared to a placebo group. The trial measured exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, fatigue markers, and post-run lipidomic profiles.

The dual-carb formula increased carbohydrate oxidation rates and helped reduce exercise-induced inflammation – supporting the use of MIX90’s high-carb 1:0.8 delivery for sustained fuel and better metabolic response during endurance efforts.

Post-Exercise Fructose‑Maltodextrin Co-Ingestion Enhances Recovery and Subsequent Endurance

Study: A crossover trial assessed trained runners performing exhaustive exercise followed by 4h of recovery using either glucose-maltodextrin or fructose-maltodextrin (1:1.5 ratio at 90g/h). Subjects then completed a second exercise bout to exhaustion to measure performance and carbohydrate oxidation.

Fructose‑maltodextrin mix significantly improved endurance capacity in repeated efforts (+32%) versus glucose-only feeding. Gel and drink formats matching these dual-carb ratios – like MIX90 – offer powerful restoration and performance benefits.
