Here's what HPN have to say:
HPN Ultimate Cyclo Endurance is a carefully
balanced isotonic formula specifically designed to provide a constant feed of
carbohydrates to the muscles during your Cycling training sessions and
competitions, whilst also replacing electrolytes lost through sweat and keeping
your body hydrated at the same time. Replacing the body’s Glycogen stores via
carbohydrate consumption is crucial for optimal performance during endurance
training and competition. It can also reduce the catabolic effect that
endurance training has on the muscles due to decreasing Glycogen levels. BCAA’s
have also been included in our formula to provide a constant feed of these key
Amino Acids to help combat catabolism and reduce fatigue.

replenish the Glycogen stores in your muscles.
Taste
Over the last few months I've used a lot of
lemon flavoured drinks offered by lots of different companies. This is one my
favourites. It mixes really well and has a nice tart lemony flavour.

Results
I found Cyclo-Endurance was really effective.
Designed to help with cardiovascular endurance it did just that. When your body
is feeling fatigued a few sips gave you a much need boost. It not only helped
with cardio though I also used it whilst weight training and it seem adept at
keeping my energy levels high for that as well. The energy is derived from
Carbs, well Sugars, in the form of dextrose and maltodextrin. You also get a
nice helping of BCAA’s to help with muscle maintenance and avoiding that nasty
catabolic state that long haul cardio can have on the body. Plus it tastes nice
and its pretty good value too at about 75p a serving. 8/10
