Ironman Perform
Many athletes dilute their sports drinks because they are too sweet, which can result in inadequate hydration, muscle fueling, and electrolyte delivery. Ironman Perform sports drink is designed to be used at full strength, delivering all the carbs and electrolytes athletes need to help reach their full potential. And it comes with a great light taste that encourages fluid consumption and improves hydration.
Ironman Perform sports drink is formulated with PowerBar® C2MAX dual source energy blend, a 2:1 glucose to fructose blend found to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%.* Ironman Perform sports drink contains 190mg sodium per serving — a key electrolyte lost in sweat that is associated with muscle cramping in some athletes.
Fueling up right can make a big impact on how you feel and perform, no matter what you’re tackling. Drink two to three 8-fl oz servings 2–3 hours before exercise. Drink one more serving 10–15 minutes before exercise. Try to match your fluid intake to your sweat rate to stay in your hydration zone. That means avoid losing any more than 2% of body weight during exercise.

How do I use Ironman Perform sports drink?
Ironman Perform sports drink is ideal before and during exercise, especially high-intensity endurance training and sports. It’s also the drink of choice whenever you’re training or competing in the heat and humidity:
To hydrate and fuel before training or competing, drink 14–20 oz (400–600 ml) of Ironman Perform sports drink 2–3 hours before exercise, and then drink another 8 oz (240 ml) during warm-ups.
Carry your own sports bottle with Ironman Perform sports drink, so you have control over what you’re hydrating with, and can keep track of how much fluid you’re consuming.
During exercise, consume fluids at a rate that closely matches your sweat rate. This is typically about 13–26 fl oz (400–800 ml) every hour of exercise, preferably in smaller volumes taken frequently. However, sweat rates can vary considerably, so an even better approach is to calculate your sweat rate and then to follow a hydration plan that keeps up with what you’re losing in sweat.
Monitor the effectiveness of your hydration plan by weighing yourself before and after training or competing. Your goal is to stay within your hydration zone. That means losing no more than 2% of your body weight during exercise due to fluid loss. For a 150-lb (68-kg) athlete, 2% equates to just 3 lbs of body weight.
What are the advantages of using Ironman Perform sports drink?
While you can chug a sports drink any time you’re thirsty, a well-designed sports drink, like Ironman Perform sports drink, is indispensable during exercise lasting an hour or more and whenever you’re exercising in the heat or humidity. During these times, the advantages of a well-designed sports drink over water are many: A sports drink provides carbohydrates to fuel your muscles; athletes freely consume more fluids when their hydration beverage is flavored, as is the case with a sports drink; sodium and carbs in a sports drink cause the fluid in the beverage to be absorbed more quickly; sodium also helps maintain your drive or desire to continue drinking fluids when exercising, which is crucial to meeting your fluid needs; and finally, sodium also helps you retain the fluid that you’ve consumed.
Ironman Perform sports drink comes in a convenient powder that easily mixes with water. Plus, it features PowerBar® C2MAX dual source energy blend to fuel your muscles, along with sodium and water to help replace what you lose when you sweat. Each 16-fl oz serving (480 ml) of this thirst-quenching beverage provides 34 grams of muscle-fueling PowerBar C2MAX carbs and 380 mg of sodium. PowerBar C2MAX carbs are a unique 2:1 blend of glucose and fructose specifically designed to make good use of the fact that these two carbohydrates each have their own separate transport systems in the digestive tract. By providing both glucose and fructose, Ironman Perform sports drink is able to deliver more carbohydrate fuel to your hard-working muscles. In fact, research shows that the 2:1 glucose-to-fructose blend delivers 20–55% more energy to muscles than glucose alone, and another study showed an 8% improvement in athletes’ cycling times.
How much sodium, the key electrolyte lost in sweat, does one 20 oz. serving of Ironman Perform sports drink contain?
400mg. In fact, Ironman Perform sports drink contains 800 mg sodium/liter. For reference, sweat contains roughly 1000 mg/liter, but can vary widely. Average amount of sodium lost in sweat is 920–1840 mg/L.
Why don't you put protein in Ironman Perform sports drink like some other brands?
At present, there is no solid scientific evidence that adding protein to a sports drink improves athletic performance. Plus, the addition of protein may have a negative impact on hydration. In fact, our testing in athletes revealed that incorporating protein into a beverage for use during exercise negatively impacted the taste of the beverage. This could result in athletes taking in less fluid during exercise, which could be potentially detrimental to athletic performance.
How does the PowerBar® Beverage System fit with existing products in the PowerBar® line?
The PowerBar® Beverage System expands the company's product portfolio to include a complete offering of nutritional drinks, gels & chews. Ironman Perform sports drink supplies the essential hydration, electrolytes and carbohydrates athletes need for training and competitions. Ironman Perform sports drink may be used alone or in conjunction with PowerBar® Energy Gel or PowerBar® Gel Blast Energy Chews, depending on the individual athlete's needs and the type of activity planned.
Who will benefit from Ironman Perform sports drink during exercise?
