The amount of sports nutrition you should take depends on several factors, including your body weight, training intensity, duration of activity and individual needs. An easy guideline to follow:
- < 1 hour of exercise: no carbohydrates or only small amounts.
- >1 - 2 hours: aim for an intake of 30 – 60g carbohydrates per hour.
- >2 - 3 hours: aim for an intake of 60 - 90g carbohydrates per hour
- >2.5 hours: aim for an intake of up to 90g carbohydrates per hour
If we look at our product range, both our bars and gels contain an average of 30g of carbohydrates. According to the guideline above, you should consume about 2 to 3 bars or gels per hour. In practice, this is not always easy. To make this easier, you can use the sports drink. This drink not only supports your fluid balance, but also replenishes your carbohydrates and electrolytes. A 500ml bottle therefore contains about 30g of carbohydrates, making it easy to calculate your carbohydrate intake.
The main difference between Sports Drink , Energy Mix and Carbo Loader lies in their specific goals and compositions to support different aspects of sports performance such as hydration, energy supply and glycogen storage. It is important to choose the right product based on your individual needs, training goals and the nature of the activity. Always refer to the recommendations on the product packaging.

You can find palatinose in the products in our entire 3Action range. Palatinose, also known as isomaltulose, is often added to sports nutrition because of its unique properties and benefits for athletes. Palatinose is a source of fructose and glucose, which has been converted into a slow sugar through processing. This results in a long-term and stable energy supply. In combination with the other sugars present, Palatinose ensures an even more spread out supply of energy in our body.
More information about palatinosis can be found here .
Yes, you can drink our Sports Drink warm if you prefer. Warming up Sports Drink can be useful during cold weather conditions or if you prefer a warm drink during training or competition. Please refer to the instructions on the packaging for more information.
The choice between Hydration tabs and Sports Drink depends on several factors including the duration and intensity of your effort, your hydration level and the weather conditions. 3Action is happy to help you make the right choice:
- 3Action Hydration tabs are useful for shorter activities or when you mainly need hydration without extra carbohydrates or calories. The tabs are easy to take with you and dissolve in water, allowing you to quickly replenish electrolytes. Are you a salt sweater? Then this is an interesting product for you. 3Action Hydration tabs consist of the 5 most important minerals that are lost during sweating. You can use these tablets before an effort to start your effort well hydrated or you can add an extra tablet to your sports drink bottle in warm weather.
- 3Action Sports Drink is more suitable for longer and more intensive activities where you need not only hydration, but also carbohydrates and electrolytes to support your energy level and prevent dehydration. This is an isotonic sports drink with 3Action anti-cramp formula to prevent acidification and muscle fatigue. It tastes naturally fresh, does not stick and contains few 'acid-makers' which makes it easily digestible and prevents stomach complaints.

Protein is essential after exercise because it promotes muscle recovery, stimulates muscle growth, and helps maintain muscle mass. After intense exercise, your muscles need nutrients to recover and grow stronger. Protein provides your muscles with the building blocks they need to grow and adapt to training. Consuming protein after exercise optimizes the recovery process and prepares your body for future performance.
Yes, you can drink your protein shake warm. Protein powders can generally be mixed with both cold and warm liquids, depending on your personal preference. However, make sure that the temperature is not extremely hot, as this can affect the quality of the protein. Warming up your protein shake can be especially helpful during cold weather or if you prefer a warm drink after your workout. Refer to the instructions on the packaging for more information.
3Action collagen is a dietary supplement specifically designed to provide collagen to the body. Collagen is a structural protein that occurs naturally in the human body including muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. As we age, from the age of 25, the production in the body decreases. Collagen supplementation helps maintain healthy joints, reduce joint pain and stiffness and promotes muscle repair and growth. Collagen fibers form the structure of tendons and ligaments which are essential for stability and range of motion. Collagen supplementation can make tendons and ligaments stronger and more resistant to overload and injury. Collagen is also found in our body in skin, hair and nails. Although this is not directly related to sports performance, maintaining healthy skin elasticity through collagen supplementation can help prevent injuries such as abrasions and cuts during sports activities. 3Action only uses high-quality raw materials. This means that our collagen comes from a Belgian manufacturer.
