The Ultimate Proven Training Advantage for Peak Race Performance.
Racers report on average 12 minute faster times...
How does Hi-5 help me?
The more of the right type of carbohydrate you have to fuel your working muscles, the faster race times you can sustain over a longer period of time. Plus, you get the added super hydration advantage of carbohydrates dragging water into the body as well when they are absorbed.
Most athletes maintain about 400g of stored carbohydrates in their bodies in the form of glycogen, however the body uses glycogen to recovery brain and organ energy requirements first then supports muscle glycogen. So hard training can rob your body of the needed glycogen for muscles leaving only a fraction of the carbs available for working muscles during exercise.
Hi-5's Super carbohydrate formula makes more carbs available to replenish working muscles, allowing you to absorb more carbohydrate per hour than normal sports drinks with no simple sugar crash. In fact, athletes using Hi-5 report more sustained energy during triathlons, marathons and cycling leading to higher placements and overall race performance.
Hi-5 Benefits:

HI-5 CARBS RESEARCH PROVEN...
When developing the Hi-5 formula over 20 years ago our sports scientists searched peer reviewed research to find a consensus of studies showing the same performance benefit in multiple studies. As new research became available the formula has been tweaked to give you the most cutting edge sports drink guranteed to impact your performance fast.
Below is just a brief research selection on some of the Carb research consulted in the continous development and updating of the Hi-5 formula:
2008: Superior endurance performance with ingestion of multiple transportable carbohydrates. K Currell and AE Jeukendrup Med Sci Sports Exerc, Feb 1, 2008; 40(2): 275-8. Result: Ingestion of fructose + glucose (2:1 ratio) resulted in an 8% quicker time to completion during the time trial (1 hour) compared with Glucose.

2005: Oxidation of combined ingestion of maltodextrin + fructose during exercise. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 37(3):426-432, Mar 2005.Wallis, Gareth A, Jentjens, Roy L. P. G., Jeukendrup Asker E, et al. Result: Peak exogenous carbohydrate oxidation was (40%) higher with ingestion of fructose + glucose (2:1 ratio) as compared with maltodextrin only.

2005: Exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during ultra-endurance exercise. J Appl Physiol (Dec 1, 2005). Asker E. Jeukendrup1, Luke Moseley, Gareth I. Mainwaring, et al. Result: With fructose + glucose (2:1 ratio) cadence (rpm) was maintained, stomach fullness was reduced and there was a significantly higher peak rate of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation relative to glucose.

2005: Exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates are combined ingestion of glucose + fructose during exercise in the heat. November 10, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00322.2005 8750-7587/06. Roy L. P.G. Jentjens,1 Katie Underwood,1 Juul Achten,1 Kevin Currell,1 Christopher H. Mann,2 and Asker E. Jeukendrup1. Result: Ingestion of fructose + glucose (2:1 ratio) during exercise in the heat resulted in higher (36%) exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates and greater fluid availability compared with ingestion of glucose.

2004: High oxidation rates from combined carbohydrates ingested during exercise. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 36(9):1551-1558, Jentjens, Roy L. P. G.; Achten, Juul; Jeukendrup Asker E. Result: When fructose + glucose & sucrose are ingested simultaneously at high rates, estimated endogenous carbohydrate oxidation is reduced compared to glucose.

2004: Oxidation of combined ingestion of glucose and fructose during exercise. J Appl Physiol 96: 1277-1284, 2004. 00Roy L. P. G. Jentjens,1 Luke Moseley,1 Rosemary H.Waring,2 Leslie K. Harding,3 and Asker E. Jeukendrup1. Result: Peak exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates were 55% higher with fructose + glucose (2:1 ratio) as compared with glucose only.
