Drink additives

[busman]

I'm looking for something to add to my water bottles to give me a little more energy.
I've been told that dextrose powder works well.
Can anyone else give suggestions please.
I've tried energy gels but don't like them.

Try this, it tastes nice and has lots or carbs. It won't give you a quick hit like a gell though and is more to keep you topped up on long rides. If you just want a kick the try High5 Extreme tabs but only if you aren't sensitive to caffeine.

Too bad you don't live near me. Not a fan of SIS energy myself (well, the one flavour I tried) and I can't even give it away. Yup, still in the cupboard. probably bin it tonight.

SiS not a bad make, but obviously taste is important for some, so many brands to chose from, if you are caught short just try a 50/50 mix of orange juice and water with a pinch of salt and bicarb of soda

If I am at a Londis/Spar/etc, and out of water, I buy lucozade orange and water, and mix fifty-fifty

Gatorade is also a good drink if you're on a longer run.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a large glass of chocolate milk at the end of the ride.

But not as good as USN, which you happen to sell?

Not much difference between the 2 to be honest, they are all very similar, but as I said, you can use juice, water and a pinch of salt, hardly a markeing post was it lol
