FUEL X PRO BREAKDOWN

As a Dietitian and endurance athlete of twenty years, there are seven essential ingredients that I look for in a carbohydrate electrolyte drink mix. These include:

  • Carbohydrates (45-60g per serve)
  • Sodium (300-600mg per serve)
  • Potassium (100-200mg)
  • Calcium (50-100mg)
  • Magnesium (20-50mg)
  • Amino acids including L-Alanine and L-Leucine.

FIXX Fuel X Pro is formulated with all seven essential performance ingredients, precisely balanced to support optimal endurance and recovery. Let’s discuss the importance of each ingredient:

  • Carbohydrates:

    Our body’s preferred fuel source. Adequate intake during endurance events helps to maintain energy levels, delays fatigue and supports recovery. Delivered in an optimal amount per serve in the form of dextrose and sucrose, FIXX Fuel X Pro fuels working muscles without causing gut issues that occur from slowed gastric emptying.

  • Sodium:

    Helps to maintain fluid balance, support nerve and muscle function, and enhance nutrient absorption. During prolonged exercise, athletes lose significant amounts of sodium through sweat—replenishing it helps prevent dehydration, muscle cramps and hyponatremia (a potentially dangerous condition). Including sodium in a carb mix also promotes better water and glucose uptake, ensuring efficient hydration and sustained energy delivery.

  • Potassium:

    An electrolyte which helps to support cellular fluid balance, healthy muscle contraction and relaxation, nutrient transport into the body’s cells and exportation of waste products. Additionally, potassium replacement is essential to stabilize electrical activity in the heart, which is particularly important in endurance events where cardiovascular strain is high.

  • Calcium:

    Is an important electrolyte for regulating muscle contractions, transmission of nerve signalling throughout the body, bone strength, and  activation of key enzymes and metabolic pathways related to energy production.

  • magnesium:

    An essential electrolyte for energy production by converting carbohydrates, protein and fats into usable energy. It helps to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance as well as helping to regulate muscle contractions and nerve function. It is essential for faster and more effective recovery between training sessions or stages in multi-day events.

  • amino acids:

    L-alanine and L-leucine are essential amino acids, meaning our body doesn't produce them on its own and we must supplement them through our diet. L-alanine feeds the glucose–alanine cycle and helps to sustain blood sugar levels. On the other hand, L-leucine plays a key role in activating mTOR (a cellular signalling pathway) which helps to preserve muscle protein during prolonged endurance sessions. With these two amino acids, the FIXX Fuel X Pro is the perfect product for endurance athletes looking for extra gains in performance.

Together, this blend maximizes fluid uptake, sustains energy delivery, replaces what you sweat out and guards against muscle breakdown — the hallmarks of a truly “optimal” endurance drink.

With this said, think twice next time you are purchasing a bag of maltodextrin and table sugar - it might be a little cheaper but could be significantly impacting your performance!
