Anyone ever tried Extran energy drink?

It's really a European thing but cyclists use it too. Comes in a square soft container almost like milk. A 6.75oz container is 320 cals, all carbs but only 12g sugar. I just bought a few for post workout recovery. Supposedly it tastes horrendous. It's made from glucose and maltodextrin. You can buy it in powder form also but it isn't nearly as concentrated as these premade containers.

I think so. If it made me fly, or run the 100 m in 9.00, I'd have remembered.

It's probably water, with sugar, flavoured chemicals and some legal, weakass stimulants in it.

Yeah people drink it a lot down here ...but it does't come in those containers you mentioned

I think it's actually a Dutch product. It's too expensive for everyday use. The cheapest price i've seen is almost $53 for 24 of them. I'd use this every day if I could get it for $1.50 each.

they have mixing powder too maybe thats cheaper. all their products come in fancy design containers...

yes, the mxing powder isn't as concentrated but I suppose you could use twice as much.

So what does it taste like?

I had peach flavor and it was not bad at all. I was expecting a very thick syrupy fluid due to the calorie concentration but it's like drinking a Sunny D or something.
