Banned substance statement: DOWNLOAD
Mix two scoops with 500 ml of water and drink during exercise when using for races or training sessions.
Consume one serving per hour.
TIP: In hot conditions, you may increase the amount of water to 750 ml.

NOTICE: Nrgy Unit Drink Buffer contains increased sodium levels. Therefore, it’s recommended to reduce electrolyte intake from other sources to prevent digestive issues.
This is a special product meant for endurance athletes who wish to improve their endurance when operating above the second lactate threshold. In other words, it allows you to push harder during short periods (3 to 15 minutes) of extreme intensity. The product is based on sodium bicarbonate, which preserves pH levels. This reduces muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing you to push harder and farther.
“We developed this sports drink with long and high intensity exercise in mind, We added sodium bicarbonate, one of the most well researched ergogenic aids, to the classic Nrgy Unit Drink. By doing that, we created a great product for long races that feature intense efforts in the late parts of the races. - Dr. Tim Podlogar
Beyond the Limit
Improve your endurance above your lactate threshold. Reduce soreness and fatigue of your muscles when operating at maximum intensity.
Optimal Carbohydrate Ratio
A combination of glucose and fructose in the 1:0.8 ratio is proven by science to be optimal for carbohydrate absorption during intense exercise.
No Digestive Issues
Without excess glucose stuck in your gut or too much magnesium irritating your bowels, you greatly limit the risk of digestive issues.
No Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps are usually caused by a lack of energy. A high energy intake during intense exercise is the best way to protect your muscles.
Mix and Match
All our fueling products are designed to work in tandem with each other. Try them out and see what combination works best for you.
Master of Energy
To facilitate your carbohydrate intake during exercise, all our fueling products are based on Nrgy Unit, which equals 45 grams of carbohydrates.
