Abstract: A hydration monitoring system for the collection of data about fluid consumption and hydration levels of athletes during training or practice sessions. The system may also measure and analyze carbohydrate consumption. The system utilizes a hydration bottle containing a fluid and to measures the amount of fluid consumed in a given time interval and wirelessly transmit the measurements; and a scale configured to measure the weight of an athlete and wirelessly transmit the measurements. The system further utilizes a data communications hub configured to receive data comprising the measurements from the hydration bottle and scale and forward the data to a computer; and a computer configured to receive the data from the hub for analysis. The computer analyzes the data and calculates whether the athlete should consume more or less fluid and/or more or less carbohydrates.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of nutrition, in particular performance nutrition. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel carbohydrate gel comprising glucose and fructose in a ratio in the range of 3:1 to 1:1. The carbohydrate gel of the present invention can be used to treat or prevent problems with the gastrointestinal tract while allowing for an enhanced blood sugar maintenance and/or an increased exogenous carbohydrate oxidation.

Abstract: Bite-size carbohydrate-based products and methods of using same are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a bite-size carbohydrate-based product comprises a carbohydrate source comprising a glucogenic:fructogenic carbohydrate ratio ranging between about 1.5 to about 2.5 with at least 60% of the energy content of the bite-size carbohydrate-based product coming from the carbohydrate source. Along with the carbohydrate source, the bite-size carbohydrate-based product further comprises a suitable amount of sodium. The bite-size carbohydrate-based products can be specifically designed and provided to an athlete for customized carbohydrate intake and portion control before, during and/or after exercising.

Abstract: This invention relates to a food product or beverage, in particular for the use in sports nutrition for replenishment of shortage in glycogen stored in the liver. In particular the invention relates to a use of a food product or beverage comprising a combination of carbohydrates for replenishment of shortage in glycogen stored in the liver.
