LACTATE IS A FUEL
Lactate is in fact a normal product of the initial steps of glucose breakdown for energy production (collectively known as glycolysis), and it still retains a substantial amount of energy.

LACTATE SHUTTLE
Unlike muscle glycogen, which must be “consumed” in situ, lactate produced in one tissue can distribute its energy to other sites. In particular, lactate produced in fast-twitch fibres can be shuttled to other, more mitochondria-rich muscle fibres specialised in aerobic metabolism (the so-called “slow-twitch” fibres), within the same skeletal muscle or in other skeletal muscles, as well as to organs such as the heart and brain, which are major consumers of lactate.

RAPID ENERGY RELEASE
Lactate is largely oxidised within just a few minutes of ingestion, providing a rapidly available energy source during intense exercise.

More available energy, via multiple metabolic pathways
Enervit C2:1PRO Lactate Gel Mix combines 90g of carbohydrates in the well-established 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio with 10g of sodium lactate. The formula brings together energy sources that follow distinct absorption and metabolic utilisation pathways, expanding the pool of oxidisable substrates available during exercise.

AN ADDITIONAL ENERGY SUBSTRATE
Enervit C2:1PRO Lactate Gel Mix combines carbohydrates with exogenous lactate, a molecule naturally involved in the transfer and utilisation of energy during exercise. By supplying an additional oxidative substrate, it helps increase fuel availability for the working muscle when metabolic demand is greatest.

WHEN INTENSITY RISES
Lactate is supplied as sodium lactate, contributing an alkalinising load during exercise. This may support the body’s buffering capacity and help manage the shifts in acid–base balance associated with high-intensity efforts.

FROM SCIENCE TO PERFORMANCE
The only energy product containing exogenous lactate genuinely developed in direct collaboration with Prof. George Brooks and Dr. Iñigo San Millán, translating decades of research on lactate metabolism into a solution.

HOW
Dilute the Gel Mix in 500–750 ml of water and consume it gradually during exercise, combining it with other products in the C2:1PRO range according to your nutrition strategy.

WHEN
The recommended timing of intake is the final phase (1–2 hours) of demanding endurance activities, when an increase in intensity is often required, and, more generally, any situation in which very high intensities must be sustained for prolonged periods.

WHY
For greater fuel availability when intensity peaks.

Usage
Each gel mix provides 90 g of carbohydrates in a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio (post-hydrolysis of carbohydrates) and 10 g of sodium lactate. It is recommended to consume the content of 1 gel mix during the last 2 hours of intense physical activity, also taking into account other carbohydrate and sodium sources included in your nutritional strategy. Dilute the content of one gel mix with water in a 500 ml or 750 ml bottle. This product should be used as a part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Once opened, keep it in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours.
