WUP Energy Guide

As Enduranlar, we are trying to bring you many brands for endurance athletes. We are lucky that WUP, one of our favorites, is among these brands. In this article, we will give you a small guide to the products that WUP Sports has released so far.

We can examine the products of WUP Sports, which offers practical nutritional resources such as energy gel, salt tablets, electrolyte and carbohydrate powders, under three headings.

Energy Gels

As you know, energy gels are our indispensable, practical carbohydrate sources in our training and races. Many athletes who care about their performance try to consume 60-90g of carbohydrates per hour, depending on the race duration. Some elite athletes who managed to train the digestive system increased this amount up to 120 grams. WUP has (for now) four products in this field in the form of energy gel:

• WUP Podium Energy Gel Berry: This energy gel, WUP's first hit, offers 24gr of carbohydrates from maltodextrin in each sachet. This product, which stands out with its light aroma, is still the first choice of many endurance athletes as it is not too tiring on the stomach.

• WUP Podium Caffeinated Energy Gel Mint: This mint flavored gel is perfect for athletes who want to consume caffeinated gel but are tired of coffee flavored energy gels. This gel, which stands out with its light mint-like aroma, differs from its sister Podium Forest Fruit Energy Gel by offering 50mg of caffeine in addition to 24g of carbohydrates.

• WUP Boost ISO Energy Gel Orange Flavor: The first member of WUP's latest Boost series. Offering 25g of carbohydrates from two different types, this energy gel stands out with its easy digestibility. Since it is isotonic, you do not need to drink water, and thanks to the 485 mg of salt and minerals it contains, it partially replaces what you lose through sweating. It is an excellent choice for those who have difficulty meeting their sodium needs, especially in hot weather.

• WUP Boost NEO3 Energy Gel Apple Flavored: Boost ISO's new brother, NEO3, is WUP's most easily digestible energy gel that raises blood sugar evenly, with 3 different carbohydrates it contains. This gel, which is especially preferred by those who travel long distances, has an apple flavor that does not tire athletes even after hours. This gel, which is isotonic like its brother Boost ISO, does not require drinking water during use.

Other Energy Products

Although energy gels are nice and practical, it can be comforting to get carbohydrates from other sources, especially during long-term activities. There are two products that WUPSports has released for this situation, which you can consume by mixing them with 500ml of water.

• WUP Carb3+ with Lemon: Providing energy from three different carbohydrates, 26g in total, Carb3+ also has a strong electrolyte content. Being able to get both carbohydrates and the minerals you lose through sweating from a single source makes Carb3 a very practical choice for most athletes.
  
• WUP Carb3+ Apple: For those who do not prefer lemon flavor or want to try other flavors, Carb3 Lemon has a brother with the same ingredient: Carb3 Apple. You can also consume it with pleasure by mixing it with 500ml of water.

Electrolytes

Apart from Carb3s, WUP also has many electrolyte products that do not contain carbohydrates. The products that will attract the attention of athletes who want to get their carbohydrates from gels but also compensate for their mineral loss are:

• WUP Hydractive Lemon Effervescent Tablet: This effervescent tablet, which you can use by adding to 500ml of water, reduces your feeling of fatigue with the 95mg caffeine it contains, in addition to the electrolytes. Since it is practical to carry, it is a favorite in training and races for many athletes.

• WUP Hydracitve Apple Effervescent Tablet: Unlike its brother lemon, it is used as an alternative to lemon by ultra-endurance athletes because it contains leucine, one of the amino acids that prevent muscle breakdown, instead of caffeine.

• WUP Electrolyte Boost Salt Tablet: This salt tablet, the only one of its kind in Turkey, aims to be a practical salt and mineral source for athletes thanks to its strong content. This product, which is easy to carry, easy to swallow, takes up little space, is flavorless, and has every feature you expect from a salt tablet, has an important place in the race nutrition of many athletes.

• WUP Endu+race Lemon: This is probably the product with the strongest electrolyte content among WUP products. Especially for long-term activities where it is difficult to meet mineral needs, you cannot take WUP Endu+race with you. Besides all this, the fact that it also contains 150mg of caffeine is another reason to choose WUP Endu+race.

Recovery

Well, WUP not only cares about how you eat during the activity, it also strives to get you ready for the next activity quickly. Here are WUP's products that will speed up your recovery:

• WUP Upgrade Apple: Thanks to its BCAA and electrolyte content, it is now very easy to recover after your workouts.
• WUP Upgrade Strawberry: A nice alternative from the Upgrade series for those who do not prefer the taste of apple. Replace what you lost during training and quickly start muscle repair thanks to the BCAA it contains.

As you can see, WUP offers a complete set for endurance athletes. You can find everything you need from before to after the activity from WUP products. You can click here to access WUP products in Enduranlar in one place.
