What we think
PowerBar , an athlete favorite since 1996, is back at The Feed! Using research that has shown carbohydrate and electrolyte drink mixes hydrate better than electrolytes alone during exercise alone, they developed Isoactive. This drink mix tackles three nutrition components all in one for optimal hydration: liquid, electrolytes, and carbohydrates.
Like with the gels and shots, this drink mix contains PowerBar's unique C2Max technology, a dual source carbohydrate mix that contains a scientifically developed 2:1 ratio of glucose to fructose. These carbs use two different pathways in the body to be absorbed, so you get the energy you need to keep going more quickly and efficiently. Isoactive also contains 5 different electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and magnesium), to better help you replace what you lose when you sweat.
Free from artificial flavors and preservatives and vegetarian friendly, this drink mix is a great way to get both fuel and hydration during your training sessions. Available in three fruity flavors, Powerbar Isoactive is a great way to stay hydrated without stomach distress!
All of PowerBar's products (produced in Germany) are registered by the Cologne List, which ensures that they are tested and free of banned substances.

As someone that has alway stuck with the typical lemon/lime or orange flavor drinks, I wasn't sure about this flavor but I am glad I tried it! I have not looked back and this is my go to hydration mix! I actually use 2 scoops of mix per 24 oz of water which is a bit over the recommended values, but still super tasty. It sits really well in my stomach and I can drink it for hours and not get tired of it! As a long course triathlete that is extremely important! The higher carb and sodium content is perfect!
When it comes to sports drinks, Powerbar ISOactive delivers the perfect nutrition for performance. It has more sodium than most sports drinks on the market and provide long lasting, sustainable energy and hydration for any distance, any sport, that requires proper fueling.
It took me a few rides to get used to the taste, but I really enjoy it now. I have Type 1 Diabetes and my blood sugars tend to crash on longer or more intense rides, so I need a nice balance of carbs/sugar in my drink. Skratch just wasn't enough for me, but I've found a good balance with this mix. Plus, compared to other drink mixes, you get more servings for the price. I'll definitely buy it again.
