Been drinking a homemade intraworkout solution and it's been improving my workouts. I think it's partially placebo and partially actually helpful to have higher blood sugar intra workout.
Just did some quick research on the ingredients I was using, and need to alter the Dextrose-Honey ratio. I was doing 30g dextrose and 21g Honey, but it looks like I need to swap it.
Optimal Glucose:Fructose ratio is 2:1, requiring a 7:4 ratio of Honey to Dextrose.
Full Recipe:
- 35g Honey
- 20g Dextrose
- 1g NaCl (table salt)
- 1g KCl (NuSalt is a brand name)
- 10mL Lemon Juice
- 10ml Lime Juice
