YOUR SECRET WEAPON

What's In YOUR Bottle?

When you choose Roctane Energy Drink, you're getting a powerful source of hydration and energy in one. Each carbohydrate-intensive serving packs 250 calories (60g of carbs) and 320mg of sodium to keep you feeling strong during intense or long-duration efforts.

GO AHEAD, PUSH YOUR LIMITS

With Key Nutrients You Need To Perform Your Best

Each serving provides carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) that use non-competing pathways for energy that kicks in fast and stays with you longer; sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat; BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine) which may reduce mental fatigue and decrease muscle damage; taurine, which can help maintain heart contractility and improve cardiac output during long exercise sessions†; and beta-alanine, which can help delay the onset of fatigue during high-intensity efforts.†

LIGHT & REFRESHING TASTE

And Mixes Up Easily, With No Clumps

Our athletes love to use Roctane Energy Drink hour after hour because it's light and refreshing, not syrupy or overly sweet. Plus, it dissolves easily in water, so you can focus on what really matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Use ROCTANE Energy Drink?

ROCTANE Energy Drink Mix is ideal for workouts lasting a couple hours or more in duration. This product can act as an addition to your breakfast prior to a workout, courtside fuel for your tennis or basketball game, and did you know a round of golf can last four hours? ROCTANE Energy Drink is great for that, too. The drink is calorically dense, since consuming enough calories during these types of activities can be a challenge.

Why Are There Amino Acids in ROCTANE Energy Drink?

BCAAs - branched chain amino acids - help protect muscles from breakdown, provide an additional energy source, and aid in recovery.† Taurine can help combat fatigue, and is known to improve heart and muscle contractility.† Beta-alanine improves muscle buffering capacity for high-intensity efforts, allowing you to push harder for longer.†

How Should I Use ROCTANE Energy Drink With Energy Gels?

While many ingredients are similar in the two products (carbohydrates, branched chain amino acids, and caffeine) each has unique ingredients which may also help improve performance. Therefore, using both products will help provide every nutritional advantage possible. For many athletes, all they may need during prolonged exercise is one 21oz bottle of ROCTANE drink and 1 ROCTANE Energy Gel per hour for extra nutritional support to maximize performance.

What Role Does Beta Alanine Play in ROCTANE Energy Drink?

Beta-alanine is used to supplement the athlete’s diet to increase muscle buffering capacity. Beta-alanine is one of the limiting components of an abundant muscle protein called carnosine that help buffer changes in muscle pH during exercise. It has been shown that supplementing beta-alanine can help increase muscle carnosine content, and therefore increase muscle buffering capacity and the ability to minimize changes in muscle pH during intense efforts over lactate threshold.†

Will I Get Dehydrated From Caffeine in a Sports Drink?

A key question regarding caffeine in a sports drink revolves around the well-known diuretic effect of caffeine to promote dehydration. Several studies have shown that caffeine ingestion during exercise does not influence weight loss, sweat rates, urine output and plasma volume compared to water alone. This may be due to decreased kidney blood flow during exercise, which is proportional to exercise intensity, which minimizes urine production. Therefore, it appears that caffeine will not lead to dehydration during exercise.
