Mixed with 500ml of water, HICARB creates an easy-to-drink source of energy for running, cycling, triathlon and other endurance activities. It can be taken before exercise to help prepare your energy stores or consumed during longer sessions to maintain a regular fuelling strategy.

HICARB is available in Mango, Peach and Berry (ANTHO+). All three flavours provide 50g of carbohydrate, while the Berry variant also contains 300mg of bioactive anthocyanins derived from New Zealand blackcurrants.

Anthocyanins are naturally occurring plant compounds with antioxidant properties. Research suggests that regular anthocyanin intake may support blood flow, help manage exercise-induced oxidative stress and reduce muscle soreness, making Berry (ANTHO+) particularly suited to race mornings and important training sessions.

Carbohydrate is an important fuel source during moderate and high-intensity exercise. HICARB combines maltodextrin and fructose to deliver 50g of carbohydrate per serving, helping provide working muscles with energy before exercise and supporting continued fuelling during longer sessions.

Berry (ANTHO+) also provides 300mg of anthocyanins from New Zealand blackcurrants. Research suggests these plant compounds may support blood vessel function and circulation while helping the body manage exercise-induced oxidative stress. This gives the Berry variant an additional performance and recovery focus alongside its high-carbohydrate formula.
