Perpetuem provides your body's energy needs during training and events longer than three hours to last.

The unique blend and precise proportions of complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and essential helpNutritionThese nutrients ensure that you remain strong and stable from start to finish. Unless you supplement your carbohydrate source with protein, your body will start digesting the protein in your muscle tissue for energy use after about 90 minutes of strenuous exercise.

Perpetuem can be used during endurance events where you can carry a water bottle. It meets the body's energy needs, regardless of how long or difficult your training session or competition is.

Perpetuem 2.0 meets your body's energy needs when exercising for more than three hours. The unique blend and precise proportions of complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and important supporting nutrients Nutritionfabrics ensure that you remain strong and stable from start to finish.

Thoroughly tested and proven in the world's toughest events since 2002, Perpetuem 2.0 has been vastly improved by replacing corn maltodextrin with tapioca maltodextrin. The names may sound similar, but these two carbohydrates are a far cry! With significantly less processing, no GMO content, lower sodium levels and higher naturally occurring potassium, a more alkaline pH, and a lower mono- and disaccharide content/much higher polysaccharide content (thanks to its lower dextrose equivalent), tapioca is the sugar and corn alternative we've been waiting for, and it's finally here!

Whether you've been using Perpetuem for 20 years or are considering trying it for the first time, you'll be impressed with this 2.0 version, guaranteed!

The Caffé Latte flavor contains 30 mg of caffeine per serving.

WHY DID YOU SWITCH TO A TAPIOCA-DERIVED MALTODEXTRIN?

Our carbohydrate fuels used corn maltodextrin (complex carbohydrates), which was actually a very good maltodextrin. However, we discovered that tapioca (cassava root)-derived maltodextrin offers the following advantages over corn-derived maltodextrin, so we switched:

Tapioca requires much less processing than corn.

Unlike corn, tapioca does not naturally contain GMO content, so while all the corn-derived maltodextrin we used in our products tested 0ppb for GMOs, tapioca saves us the trouble.

Tapioca maltodextrin naturally has lower sodium levels and higher levels of naturally occurring potassium. Since most people already consume too much sodium, having more potassium and less sodium is definitely a plus.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a more alkaline pH than corn-derived maltodextrin. Since we athletes are "acid-producing machines" during exercise, a more alkaline pH is a highly desirable characteristic/benefit during exercise.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a lower Dextrose Equivalent (DE), which means lower mono and disaccharide (short-chain sugar) content, and a much higher percentage of polysaccharide (complex carb) content--in essence, a more “complex” complex carbohydrate--for even longer-lasting energy and endurance.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a lower Dextrose Equivalent (DE), meaning it has lower mono- and disaccharide (short chain sugar) content.

What is Maltodextrin?

Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate ideal for providing fast-acting, long-lasting energy during exercise. It provides stable and reliable energy (no sugar crashes) and gives you the constant and consistent energy release you need while cycling or running. That's why it one of the main ingredients of Perpetuem Sports Drink.

Perpetuem: Long Lasting Energy for Endurance Sports - Benefits

• Energy, mental focus and less muscle fatigue thanks to a calculated ratio of complex carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats
• It can be your primary source of calories during exertion/competition
• Protects lean muscle mass
• Promotes normal blood sugar levels with the composition of trace elements
• Contains maltodextrin for smooth, consistent energy release for endurance (no sugar "ups 'n' downs")!

Triathlon and marathon runners, cyclists, and other endurance athletes may benefit from using Perpetuem during training or competitions lasting more than 3 hours.

Sports drink powder with 8:1 complex carbohydrates to proteins

Unless you carbohydrate source supplemented with proteins will your body after about 90 minutes heavy exertion digest its own muscle tissue (for proteins) for energy.

The protein in Perpetuem doesn't start working until after 90 minutes, so use it during workouts lasting longer than 2-3 hours.

Perpetuem goes beyond just hydration. The unique blend and precise ratios of essential helpNutritionNutritional substances, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and proteins keep you strong and stable from the beginning to the end of your competition. Maltodextrin provides smooth, consistent energy during endurance events like cycling or running.

Instructions for use

• Mix with water and drink during exercise.
• Use during efforts lasting longer than 2-3 hours.

NB: 1 portion is not equal to 1 scoop.

Check the table below to see how many scoops/calories you need for this product based on your body weight. For example, if you weigh between 55-70 kg (121-154 lbs), you should take one scoop per hour. If you're exercising for four hours, this means you'll need 4-6 scoops of Perpetuem.

*These are estimated doses. Each athlete must determine their personal optimum during training, under varying conditions.

Consuming more calories than you need can cause nausea and stomach pain

Keep our motto in mind: Less is Best!

Suppose you weigh between 55-70 kg. That means you need about 90-135 kcal per hour. For example, if you want to mix Energy Gel with HEED, you can get 80 calories from an Energy Gel and 40 from HEED.

You'll still get the right amount of calories you need, around 90-135 kcal, but you'll use different fuel sources. If you're mixing, don't exceed your recommended calories per hour. Too many calories can damage your stomach.

1 scoop is approximately 90 calories.

Important information about spoilage

Due to potential spoilage issues, Perpetuem cannot be premixed and stored for several hours in warm weather.

Neither Perpetuem nor Sustained Energy contains artificial preservatives as such agents provide no benefits for athletic performance or overall health.

As a result, the protein component in both Perpetuem and Sustained Energy, once mixed into solution, is affected in the following ways:

• At some point it will become sour and no longer fit for consumption.
• It tends to curdle after a few hours and can settle at the bottom of a bottle or the bladder of a hydration pack.

We believe that not having artificial preservatives in our products is far more important than these two inconveniences; however, these are factors you should consider when using Perpetuem or Sustained Energy to take.

Sports Drink Bottle Preparation Tips:

The sports drink bottle for 1 hour

Mix the recommended amount of Perpetuem for your body weight (see table above) in 475–825 ml of water. Consume one bottle every hour.

This method is ideal for training or racing with a support team and vehicle. If you don't have a support team but still want to use this mixing option, keep in mind that it's obviously less convenient, as you'll have to stop more often to mix your energy powders.

Furthermore, because you're trying to meet both your hydration and calorie needs from one source, you have limited ability to adjust one without affecting the other; you may need to consume additional water to meet your hydration needs.

The sports drink bottle for a few hours

This is by far the most convenient way to maintain your energy needs during exercise. It allows you to be self-sufficient for many hours, only needing extra clean water along the way. The only limitation is how many scoops fit in a bottle. Determine the correct number of scoops per hour by experimenting with the numbers in the dosage chart.

Let's say you've determined through testing that 1.5 scoops of Perpetuem per hour is your ideal calorie intake. For a four-hour workout, you'll need (4 x 1.5 =) six scoops in a bottle, filled with water, and then shaken. You might need to add a few scoops at a time to mix everything thoroughly. Then, take small sips every 15-20 minutes. At this concentration, the water you used for this sports drink won't contribute to your fluid needs.

To meet your hydration needs, you'll need a second and possibly even a third bottle filled with plain water. You can also use a hydration system or find refill stations along the route. Depending on the temperature/humidity and your exertion level, drink 475 to 825 ml of water per hour. As long as you can get water along the way, you'll be ready for hours of hard training this way.

Tips for preparing gel or paste

If you want to pack the most calories into the smallest space, making a thick mix is the best option. Perpetuem can be made into a super-concentrated, almost paste-like consistency and can be carried in a Hammer Gel Flask.

Using a blender or a bowl and spoon, mix powdered balls with a small amount of water, gradually adding water as needed to achieve the desired consistency. If you're using one of the flavored Perpetuems, keep in mind that the heavier and more concentrated you mix it, the sweeter and stronger the flavor will be.

You can also add Hammer Gel or HEED for flavoring if desired. Depending on how many scoops you need per hour and the concentration of the mix, each bottle of Perpetuem can provide you with 2-4 hours of fuel. As with the bottle you use for a few hours, bring extra bottles of water or use a hydration system to meet your fluid needs.
