Formulated according to the scientifically recommended glucose-to-fructose ratio for endurance, this mix is prepared at home and carried in a reusable flask. This size includes a complimentary 60 ml reusable flask. The goal: sports nutrition as effective as commercial gels, without the price or disposable packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe 1:0.8 scientific protocol\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrugal is based on a maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio of \u003cstrong\u003e1:0.8\u003c\/strong\u003e, which simultaneously activates the two intestinal absorption pathways, SGLT1 and GLUT5.
