Mulebar’s exercise drink was developed with a French specialist in sports drink formulation. They supply many professional football, basketball, cycling, and rugby teams, as well as numerous marathon runners, trail runners, and triathletes, with customized formulations. You can easily compare the major differences in formulation and dosages with the leading brands on the market in the photos of this product listing. Our guiding principle is that one bottle provides one-third of the NRV (Nutrient Reference Values) for each vitamin. There is no point in overdosing when consuming several bottles throughout the day.

An exercise drink, also known as an energy drink, serves a dual purpose during physical activity:

• Provide consistent energy (without a blood sugar spike) and ensure good metabolism (maintaining glycogen stores).
• Provide mineral salts and trace elements (electrolytes), amino acids (BCAA), and vitamins to replenish losses caused by sweating and promote water absorption by the body.

Here are its main characteristics, detailed in the “benefits” tab:

• Isotonic drink. This means it has the same concentration as blood, so it is absorbed very easily. An overly concentrated drink (hypertonic) slows digestion and limits hydration. An overly diluted drink (hypotonic) promotes hydration but at the expense of nutrient absorption.
• Triple-source energy intake (maltodextrin, sucrose, and fructose) for energy release that is both rapid and sustained (35.5 g of carbohydrates per serving), but only 17.5 g of sugar to prevent nausea after several hours.
• 4 minerals (sodium, magnesium, potassium, zinc) to replenish mineral salts lost through sweating and maintain good hydration balance (cramp prevention).
• 8 vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, E) to reduce muscle fatigue and support optimal metabolism (energy production).
• BCAA amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) to support post-exercise muscle recovery.
• Bicarbonate to counteract the adverse effects of lactic acid in muscle cells.
• Pleasant fruity flavors.

Unlike some energy drinks, the Mulebar sports drink stands out for its natural flavors, lack of acidity and preservatives, and perfect solubility in water. You will not have any residue at the bottom of the bottle, which is often the cause of stomach problems when swallowed.

Finally, its Doypack packaging ensures excellent preservation (protection from air and light), takes up minimal space, and uses no plastic.

A three-source energy supply:

It provides both a rapid release of energy and energy that lasts over time, and consists of:

• Maltodextrin: it is a fast source of energy. It is often consumed before, during, and after physical exercise to replenish muscle glycogen stores and improve athletic performance. Maltodextrin is also used for hydration during prolonged exertion (endurance sports) and to promote better muscle recovery. Our maltodextrin has a DE (dextrose equivalent) of 19, which corresponds to a relatively slow release of energy. Many maltodextrins have very high DE values, causing blood sugar spikes. Few brands disclose this figure because it is generally very high.
• Sucrose (or table sugar): it is a sugar derived from sugar beets or sugar cane, found mainly in table sugar. Made up of fructose and glucose, its main benefit is providing energy.
• Fructose: its sweetening power is greater than that of sucrose. It is very easy for the liver to digest.

BCAA (amino acids):

BCAA are among the 9 essential amino acids. They are involved in producing the proteins that the body cannot make on its own. The body therefore obtains them through diet and supplementation. They have a significant impact on muscle development. They contribute to muscle regeneration and promote good recovery after exercise.

• Leucine: it contributes to building muscle mass. Above all, it helps slow the breakdown of muscle cells caused by oxidative stress. This stress is even greater when physical exertion is intense due to increased oxygenation of the blood.
• Isoleucine: It is a source of energy for muscles. It promotes muscle growth by stimulating their sugar consumption.
• Valine: It helps build muscle by facilitating glucose transport to muscle cells during exercise.

A blend of 8 vitamins, each with its own benefits:

B vitamins:

They facilitate energy metabolism, or the release of energy contained in food. They also help prevent mental fatigue by stimulating the central nervous system. Most B vitamins are not stored in the body in sufficient quantities.

• Vitamin B1 (thiamine): It helps convert carbohydrates into energy. It is essential for the proper functioning of muscles, including the heart muscle. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 1.1 mg
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): It also helps release energy from food. It contributes to normal iron metabolism and helps maintain normal red blood cell levels in the blood. This is why it helps the central nervous system function properly and helps reduce fatigue. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 1.4 mg
• Vitamin B3 (niacin): It helps the nervous system function properly. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 16 mg
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): It plays a role in the metabolism of several amino acids and contributes to the production of red blood cells. It contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce fatigue. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 1.4 mg
• Vitamin B9 (folic acid): It contributes to the production of red blood cells and their oxygenation. It helps reduce fatigue. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 200 µg

4 minerals whose levels depleted through sweating need to be replenished:

• Sodium (Na): It regulates blood pressure, helps maintain fluid balance in the body, and contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 2000 mg, or 5 g of salt
• Potassium (K): It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal muscle function, and the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 3500 mg
• Magnesium (Mg): It contributes to electrolyte balance and energy metabolism. Magnesium contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous and muscular systems. It contributes to healthy bones and teeth. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 350 mg for men and 300 mg for women.
• Zinc (Zn): This trace element, present in very small amounts in the human body, is involved in the activity of more than 300 enzymes. In particular, it stimulates the immune system, supports hormone synthesis, and helps combat cellular aging. Recommended daily intake for an adult: 11 mg for men and 8 mg for women. For vegans, it is 13 mg and 11 mg, respectively.

Bicarbonates:

They help counteract muscle acidity caused by physical exertion (lactic acid), prevent cramps, and promote better recovery. They also support lean muscle mass gain.

Directions for use: 

Dosage: 1⅓ scoops per 500 ml bottle, i.e. 40 g of powder per 500 ml bottle

It is essential to start hydrating properly several hours before your activity. You should then maintain constant hydration and blood sugar levels by drinking a sip regularly, every 15 minutes for example, without waiting until you feel thirsty, as by then it will be too late to prevent cramps in particular.

The human body hates the “yo-yo” effect. That is why our energy gels are equipped with a resealable cap for taking them in portions.

We recommend drinking at least one 500 ml bottle per hour. Each athlete’s needs will vary depending on the type of sport practiced, its intensity, body size, and the outdoor temperature. Your training sessions are when you can gradually establish your hydration routine.
