Low-GI training and competition fuel base for strongman and long sessions.

Comp Fuel Base

What's in the Formula

  • HBCD Carbohydrate

    A low-GI carb from waxy corn starch, designed for steady session fuel, not a quick sugar hit.

  • Creatine

    Supporting your daily creatine intake to keep phosphocreatine levels high for your next training day.

  • Electrolytes

    Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Taurine to support longer training sessions.

Clean base. Full transparency.

Only the ingredients named below, no fillers or additives.

Nailing a hard session takes more than carbs. Comp Fuel Base is built so nothing you put into training goes to waste. Energy to get you through the session, electrolytes and hydration support to keep you upright through the long haul.

This formula covers the whole session, not just the part that feels good in the moment.

INSTANT ENERGY

Highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD)
Steady carbs, no sugar crash, and none of the gut-slosh dextrose gives you. Its low osmolality empties from the stomach fast, then trickles glucose in. It spares your glycogen while you train, so you finish less empty and refuel quicker after.

ENDURANCE & HYDRATION SUPPORT

Sodium
We've included a strong amount of sodium to hold your hydration and blood volume through a long session. The citrate half turns into bicarbonate to buffer the burn; sip it throughout your workout and there's no deficit to claw back after.

Potassium
Sodium's teammate, potassium, sits inside your cells, sodium outside, and that gradient is what fires every nerve and muscle contraction. Keep it topped up and muscles stay firing clean, cramps stay off, and you hit recovery with your fluid balance intact.

Magnesium
Your body can't even use ATP unless it's bound to magnesium, and magnesium is calcium's off-switch that lets muscle relax. low levels mean cramps. You sweat it out training, and it's a cofactor for rebuilding glycogen and protein after. This specific glycinate form absorbs clean, with none of the gut trouble that magnesium can be famous for.

Taurine
Not a stimulant, it's an osmolyte, so it pulls water into muscle cells to keep them full and tunes the calcium that fires each contraction. Sipped through a session it backs hydration and clean firing, and its antioxidant side mops up oxidative stress, leaving less damage to repair after.

RECOVERY & REPAIR SUPPORT

Creatine monohydrate
Stored as phosphocreatine, it instantly rebuilds ATP for your first few explosive seconds, but today's scoop isn't powering today; the stores you've built over weeks are. When taken with carbohydrates in Comp Fuel its uptake improves, so it's topping the tank for the next session, and it pulls water into muscle and helps glycogen rebuild while you recover. This is the best way to take creatine and hopefully buys you more time between restocking your usual supply.

Common Questions

Is the nutrition panel final?

The ingredients are final, however specific values have not yet been validated against supplier specifications or the FSANZ Nutrition Panel Calculator. Comp Fuel Base is currently in R&D / early tester stage and is not yet commercially released.

Does it contain milk or bovine collagen?

Some test batches in current circulation contain milk in the form of hydrolysed whey protein isolate, and bovine collagen as hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides.

Can I use it with a pre-workout?

Yes, but start with a half serve if your pre-workout contains strong stimulants. Stacking stimulants with a large carb and protein serve can increase nausea risk, particularly during long sessions. Build up gradually and see how you respond. Ideally Comp Fuel should give you enough energy to ditch your high-stim pre-workout ritual.

What is HBCD?

Highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) is a carbohydrate made from waxy corn starch using a branching enzyme process. It has a high molecular weight and low osmolality, which is associated with faster gastric emptying compared to maltodextrin or dextrose. Cluster Dextrin is a brand name for HBCD produced by Glico. Comp Fuel Base uses HBCD of the same structural class - sourced from waxy corn starch using the same process.

What is Comp Fuel Base?

Comp Fuel Base is a multi-ingredient training and competition fuel designed for strength athletes. It's built around highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) as the carbohydrate source, creatine, and mineral salts.

How do I drink it?

Sip, don't chug. Mix in cold water and sip throughout your training or competition block. Chugging a large carb and protein serve can cause gut discomfort, especially under load.

Can I sweeten it?

Yes. Comp Fuel Base is unsweetened so you can add your preferred sweetener. Allulose, stevia, sucralose, and monk fruit all work well. Avoid sugar, honey, fruit juice, soft drink, or other high-GI mixers. Sugar alcohols are fine in small amounts - large doses may cause gut discomfort.

How to Use

For test batches in current circulation, please see the label on the bag. All test batches of Comp Fuel should be mixed in 700mL cold water. Sip for the duration of your training session in place of your standard intra-training fluids.

Sip, don't chug.

Half-serve if stacking with a strong pre-workout.

Sugar-free sweetener optional. We recommend allulose, stevia, sucralose, or monk fruit.

Test in training before competition.
