Isotonic drink is your companion in high-intensity training as well as during races lasting less than 90 minutes. You mix it up by adding one and a half tablespoons (20g) into a 500ml bottle, pour water and shake. Sip in on small doses (150ml) regularly, meaning every 15-20 min or more in high temperatures. We recommend using it before, during and after exercise. Yes, hydration is essential like that! 

226ers: What happens when you stay true, and care enough to solve the missing piece –⁠ optimal digestion. 

Stemming from a professional low, 226ers is a testimony of a lifelong dedication. At only 13 years of age, today's founder and CEO, Jesús Sánchez, switched from team sports to individual after reading his first book on sports nutrition. He then swam, windsurfed and skied his way into adulthood. Because he saw so much improvement resulting from hard work and paying attention to looking after oneself, nutrition became his lifelong interest.

During his triathlonist years, Jesús explored the relationship further, with major breakthrough happening when he had to drop out the Ibiza Ironman in 1999. He went deeper into his studies and emerged back in 2004, stronger but still challenged by endurance events: his issue were digestive problems breaking in final stages of competitions. He wasn't the only one though, other athletes knew this well. 

What followed involved his doctor, coach, dietician, numerous scientific studies, testing all possible products on the market, and almost straight out detective work!

It panned out big time: in 2010, Jesús began to work on his own composition based on his research. Gluten and sugar went out the window, whereas eating the cleanest sources of nutrition (think natural foods!) and focusing on hydration became the main pillars. His performances improved, and the rest is history. Together with founding 226ers, this Spaniard became the European long distance champion at the Roth Challenge, breaking the 9 hour barrier. Hattrick in Ironman World Championships followed. His life had changed, both professionally and in sport, all marked by nutrition suited to his needs –⁠ a message his company carries for others dedicated not only to winning, but to thriving longterm, in all areas of life.
