Arctic Berry

Hi there,
Thanks for your response. Indeed, our formula is a sugar based product. We purposely keep the ingredients simple, because fueling doesn't need to be complicated. Our ingredients are sugar, citric acid for flavor, sodium citrate and salt for electrolytes, and natural flavor for taste. That's it. This allows us to offer a product that's all natural, no dyes or artifical flavors. And most importantly, great value.

We recommend 60 grams of carbs per hour as the optimum fueling strategy since athletes burn on average (at 100 watts per hour) 384 calories an hour. Once serving of Hummingbird Fuels delivers 240 calories (60 grams of carbs). This why we recommend one serving per hour of exercise as that's still barely replenshing the energy you're using during an activity. We want to ensure that people are well fueled for their sport, because friends don't let friends bonk.
