XACT

Description:

Sugary drink mixes tie your hydration to your fuelling, and strong flavours stop you drinking. XACT Electrolytes Tabs dissolve in 500ml of water in about two minutes to deliver 500mg of sodium and 100mg of potassium with just 4 calories and 1g of carbohydrate, so fluid and fuel stay separate. Reformulated to be lighter, less minerally and low-fizz, they come in Orange, Lemon, Berry and Citrus Bang (with 50mg of natural caffeine from guarana), for runners, cyclists and triathletes training in the heat.

Ingredients:

Orange, Lemon, Berry: Sugars (glucose syrup, natural flavour), citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, trisodium citrate, salt, potassium chloride, polyethylene glycol, stevia extract (steviol glycosides).

Citrus Bang: Sugars (glucose syrup, natural flavour), citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, trisodium citrate, salt, potassium chloride, guarana extract (caffeine), polyethylene glycol, stevia extract (steviol glycosides).

Benefits:

• Sodium-Led Electrolytes: 500mg of sodium and 100mg of potassium per tablet to help your body absorb and retain the fluid you drink.

• Near-Zero Calories: 4 calories and 1g of carbs, so you control carbs through food and gels and hydration through your bottle.

• Light, Low-Fizz Taste: Subtle flavours and low carbonation stay pleasant hours into a session, with no bloating or sloshing.

• Caffeine Option: Citrus Bang adds 50mg of natural caffeine from guarana for race days and hard sessions.

Usage Instructions:

Drop one tablet into 500ml of water, wait about two minutes to dissolve, then drink consistently through your session.

• Standard Protocol: For most training and events under four hours, drink to thirst. For ultra-endurance efforts, estimate your sweat rate and fluid needs first, then add sodium accordingly.

• Caffeine Strategy: Orange, Lemon and Berry are everyday options; use Citrus Bang on race days or hard sessions.

Nutritional Information:

Description:

On race day and in the hardest sessions you want fuel and focus in one bite.

Nutritional Information:

Description:

Most energy products make you eat a whole bar or nothing at all.

Made with the same real fruit and melt-in-your-mouth texture as XACT Fruit Bars, in Orange, Apricot, Strawberry, Green Apple and Cherry, they suit runners, cyclists, hikers and anyone who likes flexible, shareable fuel.

Orange: Sugars (apple pulp, orange pulp, sugar, glucose syrup), orange natural flavour, pectin, lemon juice.

Apricot: Sugars (apple pulp, apricot pulp, sugar, glucose syrup), apricot natural flavour, pectin, lemon juice.

Usage Instructions:

Grab your target number of pieces straight from the bag.

• Timing: A few pieces 15–30 minutes before exercise, then your target amount every 30–45 minutes during. Combine with XACT gels or bars to reach 60–90g of carbs per hour.

Nutritional Information:

Description:

Carrying a stack of single gels on long days means sticky wrappers and limited fuel. XACT Energy Fruit Gel Bulk puts 15 servings of XACT Fruit Gel into one resealable 615g pouch, with the same 30g of carbohydrates per 41g serving from real fruit purée, so you can fill soft flasks and dial in your exact carb targets.

Available in Strawberry, Apricot and Blackcurrant (with natural caffeine), it is built for ultra runners, long-distance cyclists and adventure athletes.

• Caffeine Strategy: Blackcurrant contains natural caffeine from coffee bean extract; Strawberry and Apricot are caffeine-free. Test caffeine timing in training before race day.
