## Field notes

- Six myths about endurance carb fuelling — https://openmix.me/blog/six-myths-endurance-carb-fuelling : The 60 g/h gut ceiling, "carbs make you fat", maltodextrin-is-garbage, fructose-is-poison, natural-sugars, and just-eat-a-banana — checked against Jeukendrup, Stanhope, WHO, EFSA.
- Why we publish the recipe — https://openmix.me/blog/why-we-publish-the-recipe : Maltodextrin, fructose, a pinch of salt — the rest is branding. Why hiding the sports drink formula is the part we refuse to do.
- Maltodextrin vs cyclic dextrin vs glucose: does it matter? — https://openmix.me/blog/maltodextrin-vs-cyclic-dextrin : Cyclic dextrin sells at 3–5× the price on a gastric-emptying claim. The trials side by side — what moves the needle in cycling nutrition and what's marketing.

## About the Carb Mix

Open Mix 01 is our first cycling nutrition product: a 60 g sachet of
endurance carb mix built around a ~1:0.71 glucose-to-fructose ratio
(35 g maltodextrin, 25 g fructose, plus salt, potassium chloride, citric
acid, and flavour). The dual-carb sports drink uses both the SGLT1 and
GLUT5 transporters in parallel, letting a gut-trained cyclist sustain
100–120 g of carbs per hour instead of the ~60 g/h glucose-only ceiling.

What makes it "open": the full sports drink recipe is published — exact
quantities, reasoning, physiological limits, and ingredient swaps — so
anyone can mix this hydration / electrolyte / carb formula at home,
improve it, or sell their own version. There is no secret formula and no
trademark moat. The complete recipe lives on the home page recipe section
at https://openmix.me/#recipe.
