Collection: Nutrition

When you push your body to the limit, it's not just the training that counts. The right nutrition – that is, sports nutrition – is crucial to how you perform and how well you recover afterwards. Whether you're training for an Ironman, cycling, ultra running or just want to get the most out of your training sessions, your nutrition is a key factor. Carbohydrates, electrolytes and salts need to be available in the right amounts, at the right times.

At Transition Zone, we have handpicked products from three of the most recognized brands on the market: Maurten, Nduranz and SaltStick. They all have one thing in common – they deliver effective, well-documented and stomach-friendly sports nutrition that makes a difference. Here you will find everything from gels and drinks to electrolyte capsules and energy powders, suitable for both elite athletes and ambitious exercisers.

Carbohydrates are the body's preferred fuel when you're training at high intensity. But it doesn't matter how you consume them. The products from Maurten and Nduranz are designed to deliver large amounts of carbohydrate - without straining the stomach. This means you can maintain energy levels throughout the workout, without risking stomach problems or energy dips.

Maurten has set new standards with their hydrogel technology, which encapsulates the carbohydrates into a gel structure that is first released in the intestine. This means high absorption and minimal risk of stomach problems - perfect for both competition and long training sessions. Maurten is used by the world's elite, but is also a game changer for serious exercisers who want to avoid hitting the wall.

Nduranz focuses on the optimal glucose to fructose ratio (1:0.8), which the body can absorb up to 90 grams per hour without any problems. Their products are designed for long-term performance with precise dosing, and their energy gels and drinks are easy to use during a busy training routine.

During hard, prolonged exercise, you don’t just lose fluids – you also sweat out important salts and electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium and magnesium. If you don’t restore balance, you risk dehydration, muscle cramps and a drop in performance. That’s where SaltStick comes in.

SaltStick offers electrolyte capsules and chewable tablets specifically designed for endurance athletes. They deliver the right balance of electrolytes and make it easy to keep your body in balance during even the hottest or longest sessions. The capsules are easy to take on the bike, in your running shoes or between transition zones in a triathlon – and they make a noticeable difference in energy levels, concentration and performance.

A combination of carbohydrates from gels and drinks, and electrolytes from SaltStick, gives you a complete nutritional strategy that keeps you going and clear-headed – whether you have to perform for 2 or 12 hours.

There is no one-size-fits-all nutritional solution. That’s why good nutrition is also about testing, adapting, and finding what works for you. At Transition Zone, we recommend experimenting with different types of gels, drinks, and electrolytes during training – so you have a proven strategy when it comes down to it.

If you have a sensitive stomach, Maurten is a great place to start. If you prefer precise control over your carbohydrate intake, Nduranz is a strong choice. And if you train in hot environments or sweat a lot, SaltStick should be a regular part of your setup.

We see time and time again how a solid nutritional strategy can be the difference between a good and a truly strong performance. It's not just about eating or drinking something – it's about giving your body exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
