What makes up the carbs in sports powder carb drinks? If theses 48g of carbs in a drink of which 18g is sugar then where do the other 30g of carbs come from?
Might seem like a daft question but I’ve been making my own carb drink lately using pure sugar which for example I’ll use 50g of suger to achieve a 50g of carb concentration but why and how are shop bought products achieving the same carbs but only a fraction of the sugar?
Obviously using white sugar is not a good alternative to sports products.
