In 2016 we were asked by one of the pro tour teams we were supporting to produce a slow release carbohydrate energy drink to support fat burning rides.
In the past these rides were often done fasted using no carbohydrate fizz tabs which can result in muscle loss and tiring energy lows.
Research using slow release carbohydrates like isomaltulose (palatinose) and resistant starches suggest that it is possible to support enhanced fatburning whilst sustaining background energy levels
( E.g. König et al 2015)
“After using other products on the market with varying degrees of success, I found Stealth Training Mix enabled me to stay in my fat burning zone for much longer without the energy spikes, or lows I had experienced previously.

Type 1 diabetics are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Since there are a number of diabetics on some of our supported teams we were keen to get their practical feedback. Users reported that ‘training mix’ was able to sustain energy during long rides without any peaks necessitating adjustment to their insulin pump. We are constantly gaining more data from these users with continuous glucose monitoring.
Stealth Training Mix is based around the slow release sugar Palatinose (isomaltulose) Due to its specific molecular bond PalatinoseTM (isomaltulose) is fully absorbed but slower than commonly known sugars or carbohydrates. It therefore offers the full caloric value of carbohydrates (4 kcal/g) but in a balanced and longer lasting way. This avoids spiking blood sugar levels with the associated insulin response.
WHY ISOMALTULOSE?
Isomaltulose (palatinose) is formed from glucose and fructose like normal sugar but the bond is broken down more slowly.This avoids spiking blood sugar levels with the associated insulin response. Its therefore ideal to take with: Secret Training Protein Gel Secret Training Keto Energy gel
