In training as in competition, it's not just what you consume, but also how and when, that counts.
A well-thought-out energy and fluid strategy can significantly contribute to maintaining your performance throughout the entire exertion.
In the following video, former professional triathlete and nutrition expert Simone Kumhofer explains what's important when using OMNi-POWER® CARBOTONIC during exertion – and why the right composition plays a central role.
Don't drink it all at once – but continuously
A common mistake is to drink large quantities all at once. It makes more sense to consume OMNi-POWER® CARBOTONIC in regular, smaller sips throughout the entire duration of exertion.
This ensures your body is continuously supplied with fluid and energy. This supports a steady carbohydrate intake and can improve tolerance during intense sessions.
Especially in competition, this consistency pays off.
Why the composition is crucial
OMNi-POWER® CARBOTONIC is formulated to be hypotonic. This means: The concentration of dissolved nutrients is below that of blood.
Why is this relevant?
Hypotonic drinks can be absorbed particularly efficiently by the body because they do not slow down fluid transport. For you, this means: fluid and energy are quickly available during exertion – without unnecessary stress on the stomach.
The right mixing ratio is always crucial.
The following dosages have proven effective in practice:
• 60–90 g in 800 ml of water for moderate to intense exertion
• up to 100 g in 800 ml for very high intensity or increased energy demand
Even at 100 g per 800 ml, the mixture usually remains hypotonic. This range allows you to individually adjust the intake to training volume, intensity, and personal tolerance.
Training is the test for your race setup
Important: Don't try out your strategy only in competition.
Test the right dosage and drinking frequency for you already in training.
This is how you find out:
• which concentration feels good for you
• how much you need per hour
• at what intervals you should drink best
The better your body is accustomed to the intake, the more stable your energy supply can be in competition.
Conclusion
The optimal use of OMNi-POWER® CARBOTONIC is based on three principles:
• hypotonic composition
• continuous intake
• individual adjustment
If concentration, dosage, and timing match, your body can absorb fluid and energy exactly when it needs them – in training as well as in a race.
