Maxim/Extran Professional Energy Drink Box

Just grab a box and squeeze! No stopping or slowing down. This delicious liquid will give you the energy to keep you going at top speed. Liquid Maxim/Extran Carbohydrate is easy on the stomach and one box provides as much energy as six slices of bread or three bananas.

This is Europe's premium top-selling sports performance brand.  This professional quality product is used by 80% of the riders in the Tour de France.

Maxim/Extran was created when it was discovered that professional cyclists were purchasing the original manufacturer of Maxim/Extran's super-enriched medical foods from hospitals to use before races.  To fill this demand that company created the Extran line in 1987, one of the first endurance products in the world.  It is based on the same nutritional science that has saved thousands of lives in hospitals all over Europe by providing the best in nutrition to people under the highest physical stress from disease and injury.

Wherever performance is required under difficult conditions - cycling, marathons, triathlons, mountain climbing, speed skating and cross country skiing - Maxim/Extran is there.

Usage: To maintain optimum energy levels, drink one to two packs two hours before an event and one pack per hour during the event. Consume as required after the event. To replace fluids lost through perspiration, you should drink at least 0.5 to 1 liter of Maxim/Extran Thirstquencher per hour, in addition to the high carbohydrate energy drink.

HOT TIP: TRIATHLETES drink one box at the start of or during the bike leg to fuel your energy for the run.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The main carbohydrate source in the Maxim/Extran Energy Drink 200 ml pack is glucose syrup. Glucose syrup consists of both long and short chains of glucose, so called long chain and short chain polymers.

The syrup used in this drink consists mostly of long chain polymers, this explains the high amount of polysaccharides in the product.

A mistake that is made very often is that one thinks that glucose syrup contains only glucose (monosaccharides), when in reality glucose syrup exists in many forms with monosaccharides as well as polysaccharides.

The quality of the glucose syrup in Maxim/Extran yields the highest levels of complex carbohydrates of any nutritional supplement on the market.

The Tetra Pack is flattened out by Professional Cyclists to form a flat pillow like package.  This ‘pillow’ fits more easily into back pockets and is less obtrusive.  Also the ‘pillow’ shape ergonomically allows you to easily handle and consume Maxim/Extran when you are on the go.  Although not recommended, you can even hold the package between your teeth in tight situations as a professional cyclist demonstrates in the accompanying photograph.
