In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes listeners through the thinking behind the MNSTRY drink mix range and explains why not every carbohydrate product should do the same job. From SLOW CARB for long, easy sessions and fat metabolism focused training, to FAST CARB, POWER CARB, RACE CARB and the HEAT products for more demanding, high energy or high sweat scenarios, this episode breaks down how each product is built around a specific use case. The conversation also explores one of the most misunderstood topics in sports nutrition: carbohydrate ratios. Robert explains what ratios like 4:1, 2:1 and 1:0.8 actually mean, how glucose and fructose use different transport systems in the gut, and why the right ratio depends on how much carbohydrate an athlete really needs per hour. A practical behind the scenes look at product design, fueling logic and how to choose the right drink strategy for different sessions, intensities and environments.
