Ep.113: Sports Nutrition Product History

From Gatorate to Maurten, we’re diving into a brief history of carbohydrates and their ratios in sports nutrition products to help you understand the science as well as where the technology is headed and why.

We discuss:

• The evolution of carbohydrate recommendations and a summary of key sports nutrition products that paved the way

• The ratios of glucose to fructose, their absorption rates in the small intestine and why you should care

• How training the gut fits into the picture

• Changes in sports nutrition product packaging and labeling
