Lucozade Sport Body Fuel contains carbohydrate, in the form of glucose, the body's preferred energy source.
Lucozade Sport was first launched in 1991 and was the UK's first isotonic sports drink. Over the years, as we have worked with top athletes to develop products which are proven to give a performance edge, it has become the sports drink of choice for athletes, footballers, runners, and those who enjoy sports and exercise at any level.
The range of Lucozade Sport Body Fuel products are specifically formulated to help you get the most out of your sporting performance. Our range of formats means that you can choose the most appropriate one for your training needs.
Loss of fluid and reduction of the body's carbohydrate stores (glycogen stores in the muscles) are the two major causes of fatigue and reduced performance in prolonged exercise or sport. Lucozade Sport is formulated to tackle both of these problems with carbohydrate to fuel the muscles and fluid and electrolytes to maintain hydration in the body.
Lucozade Sport is also an isotonic drink. This means it contains roughly the same concentration of particles as the body's blood plasma helping to encourage faster absorption into the body than higher carbohydrate drinks such as carbonated soft drinks or fruit juices.
Our powdered formats allow you to make up your product at your convenience.
Mix the contents of the powder stick pack with 500ml of water.
Endurance events e.g. running or cycling
Studies testing endurance athletes such as marathon or long distance runners have proven that the consistent work rate (running speed) is higher over the course of an event amongst those drinking Lucozade Sport before and during compared to those solely drinking water.
