Committed to the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon for a further three years, French sports nutrition brand Overstim.s will once again be providing all participants with top-quality products. Let’s take a closer look at the 2025 selection of products you’ll be enjoying during the race in July.
No doubt : Overstim.s products are created in close collaboration with professional athletes and tested in the field, under real-life conditions, so they are really effective and very well adapted to the needs of endurance athletes. The best proof? They evolve every season to meet the needs of all types of athletes, pros or amateurs, cyclists, trailers, road runners, triathletes or hikers. This year, Overstim.s is focusing on its Ultra range to fuel participants in the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon, helping to sustain their efforts all the way to the finish line. On the menu: new flavours to delight you!
Packaging 2.0 for energy gels
They already underwent a makeover in 2024, with a larger format (100kcal, i.e. 26g of carbohydrates) but less bulky packaging and less plastic. This year, the Coup de fouet, Energix, Antioxydant and Red Tonic gels go one step further, with further reworked packaging: more flexible and convenient to carry, they retain the same format and energy while being simpler to use.
All the gels retain their usual strengths: preservative-free composition, natural flavors, easy-to-swallow liquid texture during exercise, optimal digestibility and palatability, even for athletes with fussy digestive systems.
Hydrixir Ultra red fruits version
Launched in 2024 after meticulous fine-tuning in collaboration with trailer François d’Haene, Hydrixir Ultra returns this season with a new taste: red fruit flavor, hyper-tasty, palatable during long efforts and chosen by the staff of the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon. Named Overstim.s Product of the Year 2024, the drink remains unchanged:
- 3 types of carbohydrate (maltodextrin, fructose and sucrose) for long-lasting energy delivery and maximum digestibility;
- 4 types of electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium) to prevent muscular disturbances and maintain water balance;
- 6 vitamins (B1, B3, B5, B6, C and E) to reduce fatigue;
- BCAAs, L-glutamine and sodium bicarbonate for muscular resistance;
- no nausea as the hours go by;
- gluten-free;
- no acidity (neutral pH);
- no preservatives;
- only natural flavors.
Lemon-ginger and blueberry-strawberry: pleasure in bars
The Ultra Bar is quite simply the easiest bar in the Overstim.s range to chew! Ideal during exercise, particularly for athletes who find it difficult to eat, it is available this season in two new flavors: lemon-ginger and blueberry-strawberry. These duos are in response to athletes’ feedback on the chocolate-banana flavour, which is extremely delicious, but which suffered the effects of the sun on the slopes of Alpe d’Huez last year…
Also developed in collaboration with François d’Haene, the Ultra Bar is designed for long-duration efforts, providing :
- 25g carbohydrates and 146kcal per portion ;
- 3 electrolytes (sodium, calcium and magnesium) ;
- 5 vitamins (B1, B3, B6, C and E);
- 800mg BCAA per bar;
- soft texture, easy to chew during exercise;
- high digestibility;
- gluten-free, no preservatives, no artificial flavoring.
