POLLEOsport Isotonic Sports Drink 500 g

Product overview

Polleo Sport Isotonic is a lemon-lime-flavoured powder that is mixed with water to make an isotonic sports drink. The pack contains 500 g. The drink is designed for use in connection with physical activity and combines carbohydrates with minerals. This makes it a practical option if you want a flavoured drink to take to a training session or another activity where you want to plan your fluid intake.

The carbohydrate blend consists of maltodextrin, fructose and dextrose. The product also contains sodium, magnesium and potassium. The lemon-lime flavour gives it a refreshing character, while the powder makes it easy to prepare the drink whenever convenient. It may therefore be suitable both before a longer session and to have on hand during exercise, depending on your habits and the instructions on the pack.

Polleo Sport is the brand behind the product. The available product information does not provide further details about the brand's history or a specific manufacturing philosophy. What is clear is the product's focus on training: an easy-to-mix sports drink with carbohydrates and selected minerals, in a flavour suited to those who prefer citrus to neutral alternatives. The product is halal-certified according to the manufacturer. If you are comparing sports drinks, the combination of several carbohydrate sources, mineral content and powdered format are key features to consider.

Active ingredients & science

The product's main carbohydrate sources are maltodextrin, fructose and dextrose, also known as glucose. The minerals come, among other sources, from magnesium citrate, potassium phosphate and sodium chloride. The daily serving stated in the nutrition information contains 14 g of carbohydrates, of which 7.7 g are sugars, as well as 56.3 mg of magnesium and 40.6 mg of potassium. The salt content is stated as 0.1 g.

Magnesium citrate is the form of magnesium listed in the ingredients. The ingredients and their quantities are shown in greater detail in the separate contents table. The product also contains citric acid, flavouring, a colour and the sweetener sucralose.

Benefits & uses

Polleo Sport Isotonic may suit you if you want a flavoured powder to mix into a drink around your training. Here are some specific situations in which the product's features may be relevant:

• During a training session: Keep the prepared drink to hand when exercising and you want something flavoured to drink instead of just water.
• During longer activities: For running, cycling or other longer sessions, a powder with carbohydrates and minerals may be an option to include in your drinking routine.
• At the gym: The powder is easy to pack and can be mixed before your session according to the instructions on the pack.
• If you prefer citrus: The lemon-lime flavour offers an alternative to sports drinks with, for example, berry or tropical flavours.
• If you want to follow the product's instructions for serving: The powdered format means you prepare the drink yourself rather than buying a ready-mixed version.
• If you are checking mineral content: The product contains magnesium, potassium and sodium, as stated in the product information and nutrition table.

It is best suited as part of a considered routine around physical activity, not as a replacement for a varied diet or individual advice. How much fluid you need depends, among other things, on the duration and intensity of the activity and your personal circumstances. Adjust your use accordingly and always follow the product's mixing instructions.

Use & dosage

The nutrition information states a daily serving of 1 scoop, equivalent to 16 g. The product is a powder intended to be mixed into an isotonic drink, but the available information does not specify the exact amount of water or provide complete mixing instructions. Therefore, follow the serving and preparation instructions on the pack, and do not substitute your own estimated amount of water for the manufacturer's instructions.

The drink is intended for use in connection with physical activity. You can plan to have it before or during a session according to your needs and the instructions on the pack. There is no information stating that it must be taken with food or on an empty stomach. If you use other sports products or food supplements at the same time, check their contents so that you are aware of your total intake. Prepare the drink fresh according to the instructions and store the powder in line with the storage advice. If you have specific dietary needs or questions about use, you can consult a healthcare professional or dietitian.

Quality & manufacturing

The product information states that Polleo Sport Isotonic is halal-certified according to the manufacturer. No specific information is provided about the country of manufacture, production standards, laboratory testing, the origin of the raw materials or specific purity checks. We therefore do not add such details. If you need to know more about the scope of the certification or the manufacturing process, it is best to check the labelling on the pack or contact the manufacturer.

The pack size is 500 g, and the powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and at a temperature below 25 °C. Also check the pack for the best-before date and any instructions on how to reseal it after opening. The ingredients list shows that the product contains sweetener and a colour, which may be relevant if you are comparing products by flavour profile or contents. Quality assessments should be based on the information actually provided: contents, labelling, stated certification and clear storage advice.

Who is the product suitable for?

The product may be an option for adults who train regularly or engage in physical activity and want to mix a flavoured drink with carbohydrates and minerals. It may also suit you if you prefer to mix the drink yourself and want to take the powder to the gym or on an activity. It is not specifically intended for a particular age group, and the information does not support recommending it to children.

The product contains sugars and sucralose. Read the ingredients list if you want to avoid either of these ingredients or need to adjust your intake. It may contain traces of milk, soya, egg, celery, sulphites, fish, crustaceans and nuts. Take this into account if you have an allergy or intolerance, and contact the manufacturer if you need reliable information about trace management. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a midwife, doctor or other healthcare professional before using the product, particularly if they have specific dietary needs. Always follow the instructions on the pack and discontinue use if you experience an unwanted reaction.
