You know, there were days where I was on the bike for hours and I was consuming 60 to sometimes 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour. And these carb sources were killing me. I was hunched over holding my stomach from cramps and GI distress and pain.

And I did some research and I found out that most carbohydrate sources meant to be formulated and used for endurance training in the market were maltodextrin based. Multidextrin is a cheap carbohydrate source. Most of the endurance gels on the market are multidextrin-based because it's cheap, it's easy to flavor, it mixes well, it's pretty adaptable and universal. However,

It has notoriously caused gut rot and stomach issues in athletes. It digests very slow. It doesn't necessarily work with the athlete. It sometimes works against the athlete. And at the time in BPN's history, we were not an endurance brand. We had strength supplements. We had pre-workout, creatine, amino acids, protein.

We had health and wellness supplements, strong greens, strong reds, multivitamin, joint support. There was no vision for us to be an endurance brand or to ever launch endurance products. But I wanted to create something for myself in 2019 because I couldn't find something on the market that I could or wanted to use.

So this is where we started a huge research and development project with one of our manufacturing partners. And I tested 20 plus carbohydrate sources over months. And I couldn't find anything that worked for me in my training until I came across Cluster Dextrin. Cluster Dextrin, the research behind it, the trial and error, the testing, I mean, the writing was on the wall.

This is the material that we have to use for this product. And there were some brands out there that were using clustered dextrin, but not in the full 20 gram serving. There's this phrase in the supplement industry known as pixie dusting. So you take the expensive ingredients and you add a little bit of it to say that it's in there.

So there were some companies in the industry, in the market at a time that would have, you know, say 20 gram carbohydrate powder per serving. 15 of those grams were from maltodextrin and maybe five grams were from cluster dextrin. So majority of it was maltodextrin because cluster dextrin is significantly more expensive than these other carbohydrate sources on the market.

I said, no, if we're going to do this, the whole 20 gram serving, the only carb source in this product has to and will be cluster dextrin. So we created this product while I was in my Ironman training. We brought it to market. And initially we actually, I don't know how long some of you guys have been following the brand, but when we first launched G1M Sport, it was in a bag.
