So how did the drinks compare?
There really was no comparison. Super Carbs beat PSP22 (Science in Sports flagship product) in every area. Super Carbs water uptake was 40% better and carbohydrate delivery 23% better. This lead to a 6 minute faster 60km time trial.
Was the testing fair?
Yes, it was side-by-side test in a double bind placebo controlled study conducted at Hertfordshire University of sports science. The test was independent and none of the researchers or test subjects knew which product was which. The calorie content and volume of drink consumed was exactly the same.
Was the testing thorough?
The research project took more than 200 hours and involved 8 research staff.

Are there more independent studies?
Yes there are a number of landmark studies on the Super Carbs formulation. The results of these studies show very similar results to the research at Hertfordshire University. The Scientists call it consensus. This means that almost everyone is in agreement that this is a new and real advance.
OK, the most important question first, will it make me faster?
Yes; in the test Supercarbs made the athletes 6.5% or about 6 minutes faster in a 60K time trial compared to PSP22 and 16% faster compared to water.
Is Super Carb’s just for cyclists?
No definitely not, Super Carb's will give the same benefits in all sports from marathon running, triathlons, swimming to team sports. Cycling was just the most accurate way to perform the lab comparison.
OK but what if I race shorter distances?
Performance was even better when studied over the first hour.

How does more carbohydrate help me?
The more carbohydrate you have to fuel your muscles, the faster you can go for longer. Also when carbohydrate is absorbed it drags water into the body as well. This means better hydration.
Most athletes have about 400g of carbohydrate stored in their bodies as liver glycogen, muscle glycogen or blood glucose. Unfortunately only a fraction of this is available to working muscles during exercise.
Now let’s imagine a 4 hour event where you consume 110g of Supercarbs per hour. This gives you a massive (extra) 440g of carbohydrate to use as high speed fuel, available directly to the working muscles. Combine this with much better hydration and you get the performance improvement that no normal sports drink can match.

' Super Carb's delivered 23% more carbohydrate to the working muscle's
than PSP-22.'
'EnergySource with new Super Carb's replaced fluid 40% faster than PSP22.'
Why has no one done this before?
High5 have always been leaders in sports nutrition science. Super Carbs is based on the very latest research, some of it we finished just months ago.
How do you know it is better?
We tested Super Carbs not just against water (which is easy to beat), but also against a competitor’s product PSP22 from SiS, a company that has promoted itself as applying the best Science to sports drinks.

6.5% faster, that’s almost unbelievable?
That was simply the average improvement across the board
Were the athletes some sort of super fit elite group?
No, the test subjects reflect our real customers, just like you.
I thought the only way to get these types of improvements was through drugs?
We take pride in he fact that Supercarbs like all High5 products is tested and guaranteed free from any banned substance. It’s just the correct application of the very latest in sports science.
OK so what is Super Carbs?
Super Carbs is a brand new carbohydrate drink that lets you absorb more carbohydrate per hour than normal sports drinks with no simple sugar crash. In fact the Supercarbs formula has been
sucessfully tested over 5 hours of extreme continuous exercise.
