Getting started with infinIT is quick and, well, pretty simple. Take just a minute or two to read through the steps below, then visit our homepage to adjust your slider preferences, save your choices, and checkout. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to drop us a note at info@infinitnutrition.com.
- Set Flavour Level -
infinIT is formulated to be just right during exercise. Unlike other sports drinks it is designed to taste great hour after hour. Other sports drinks are too strong and are almost unpalatable after an hour or so. Our flavour levels are already toned down, so keep that in mind when you choose you flavour level.
- Choose Your Carbohydrate Blend -
infinIT gives you the power to choose the ratio of fast absorbing glucose versus slower burning maltodextrine. By moving the slider, you can create a custom mix of carbohydrates that meets your activity perfectly.
- Tell Us How Many Calories Per Serving You Need -
The rule of thumb is 4 calories per kilogram of lean body weight per hour. To work out the number of calories you need just take your total weight, subtract body fat and then multiply by four.
Example: Male weighing 80 Kg with 20% body fat = 64 Kg lean body weight
64 Kg x 4 calories/Kg/hour = 256 calories/hour.
It’s that simple to create a drink with the EXACT number of calories your body needs.
- Adjust Your Electrolyte Level
People who sweat heavily and have serious problems with muscle cramping should position their slider setting towards the higher end of the scale.
People who sweat heavily and experience occasional cramping should should position their slider in the mid range.
Medium sweaters who experience frequent cramping should position their slider in the mid to higher end of the range.
Medium sweaters who experience occasional cramping should position their slider in the medium-to-medium low range.
Light sweaters with frequent cramping should position their slider be in the mid range.
Light sweaters who experience occasional cramping should position their slider in the medium to low range.
Light sweaters who rarely experience muscle cramps should position their slider towards the low end of the range.
- Caffeine -
Caffeine should ONLY be used after you have tested it in training because it can lead to stomach distress in some athletes. You should always consult your doctor when using any stimulant. Caffeine is a proven and WADA-legal performance booster that has been shown to help the body to burn calories. Keep in mind that caffeine does have a somewhat bitter taste so it will affect the taste of your custom formulation, a little goes a long way. Standard dosing for most athletes is between 50mg (one cup of strong coffee) and 200mg (four cups of strong coffee) per serving.
Many advanced athletes will use some caffeine during the latter stages of a long race for a performance boost and to help your body burn fat stores after glycogen levels have been depleted.
