Best Alternatives to Neversecond C30 Sports Drink

C30 Sports Drink is 30g carbs + 200mg sodium per 32g scoop — scale 1–3 scoops, pairs with C30 gel, not a single-sachet 80g bottle. Leave it for Mix 160/320 when Maurten bottles are the gut story, Tailwind when all-day sodium-in-mix is simpler, Beta Fuel drink when SiS retail/dual-source wins, or PF30 mix when you want gel-matched 30g with separate PH sodium. Stay when scalable 30g+sodium scoops plus C30 gels is the hour plan.
