76g dual-source carbs plus 500mg sodium for real endurance fueling
Bucked Up Long Range is an endurance fuel and hydration mix. It's not about pumps, not a stim overload, and not some lightly dosed sports drink. The idea is simple and focused on performance: give you a big carb hit from sources your body can absorb well, add solid electrolytes, and help with fluid and stamina over long hauls. That's key because in endurance stuff, performance tanks from low glycogen (that's your stored carbs), dropping blood sugar, dehydration, and muscles not firing right—not from missing fancy extras.
The main punch is 76 grams of carbs per serving: 42g maltodextrin plus 34g fructose. This drives the energy. Maltodextrin is a fast-digesting chain of glucose that uses the SGLT1 transporter, while fructose hits GLUT5. Using both is a proven move in endurance nutrition—it boosts how much carbs you absorb and burn compared to one type alone. Studies on glucose/fructose or maltodextrin/fructose mixes show better carb use and endurance than glucose-only. The ratio here is about 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose. That's cool because recent research likes ratios around 1:0.8 to 1:1 for big carb delivery with less stomach issues than older 2:1 setups. Bottom line: more energy you can actually use per hour, less risk of gut problems.
Sodium is at 500mg per serving, a real dose for sports. It's not just for show—it's key for keeping fluids balanced, nerve signals, muscle work, and carb uptake. Glucose moving through SGLT1 needs sodium, so it helps both hydration and fueling.

Key Highlights
- 76 grams of carbs per serving—this is a legit fuel amount for endurance, not just a tiny bit to look good on the label. If your workout's long enough to burn through your stored energy and drop blood sugar, this keeps your output steady.
- 42g maltodextrin + 34g fructose—a smart carb combo based on actual sports research. Maltodextrin uses the sodium-linked SGLT1 path, fructose uses GLUT5, so you absorb and burn more carbs total than with one type.
- About 1:0.8 maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio—closer to fresh endurance studies than old 2:1 formulas. This range helps deliver lots of carbs with better stomach tolerance during long efforts.
- 500mg sodium per serving—enough to really help with hydration, muscle work, and carb transport. Sodium keeps fluids in check and boosts glucose absorption through SGLT1, making it part of both energy and hydration.
- 105mg magnesium as citrate—helps with muscle and nerve function plus electrolyte balance. Magnesium is needed for the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, which keeps the electrical stuff your muscles and nerves need during long activity.
- 150mg potassium as citrate—supports the sodium-potassium balance for normal muscle and nerve work. It's not a huge dose alone, but it boosts the hydration side and pairs well with the sodium.
- No proprietary blend—the key ingredients are listed with exact amounts. In endurance stuff, knowing the details matters because how you absorb carbs and dose electrolytes decides if it's for real results or just hype.
- Vitamin C at 90mg—not the star, but a nice add for basic nutrition. It gives some antioxidant help while the carbs and electrolytes do the heavy lifting for performance.

Who Is This For?
- Endurance runners going past 60 minutes who need more than water and a light electrolyte hit. The 76g carbs from maltodextrin and fructose give real fuel, while 500mg sodium helps hold fluids and absorb glucose on long runs.
- Cyclists on long rides, tempo work, or back-to-back days needing steady energy without caffeine reliance. The dual-carb setup is perfect, boosting total uptake over single-glucose stuff that can bottleneck.
- Triathletes and multisport folks wanting one mix for fuel and hydration. It packs big carbs with sodium, potassium, and magnesium—more complete than basic carb powder plus hoping water does the job.
- CrossFit or HYROX athletes in long conditioning, comp days, or doubles. Makes sense when time or workload hits levels where low glycogen and sweat tank performance.
- Field sport players in preseason or tournaments where repeats and heat kill output. The carb-electrolyte mix holds repeat efforts better than low-cal drinks that don't match fuel needs.
- Ruckers, hikers, and military endurance types needing drinkable calories plus electrolytes on long hauls. Maltodextrin and fructose give quick energy without one-path overload, great for high intake.
How to Use
Mix one serving into a big water bottle for sessions where time or sweat calls for intra support. Most folks do best starting sips before or early in, not when tired already. With 76g carbs, gradual during training beats chugging it.
New to intra carbs or fructose-sensitive? Half serving first to test. Add more water for lighter taste or easier on the gut, especially hot days. Shaker beats spoon for mixing. Use around workouts, not as everyday sipping.
Stack caffeine separate to control it apart from carbs. No cycling needed—benefits are for the right sessions. Store sealed, cool, and dry for best mix.
What to Expect
First 0-10 minutes: it's more like easy-drinking fuel than a quick hit. Sip it right, and you feel stomach ease and hydration first, not a big surge. 10-30 minutes: as carbs support blood sugar steady, the workout feels smoother, less up-and-down than on water.
30-90+ minutes: this is where it pays off. You're better at holding pace, power, and focus later because you're feeding carbs and sodium, not scraping by. Day 1, you feel it right away—it's not about building up, it's real-time help. Over weeks, it gets strategic: nail long sessions better, skip bonks, and lock in a fueling routine that cuts the guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of product is Bucked Up Long Range?
Bucked Up Long Range is an endurance fuel and hydration formula. Its core performance drivers are 42g maltodextrin, 34g fructose, and a practical electrolyte profile led by 500mg sodium, making it best suited for longer sessions where carbohydrate depletion and sweat loss become limiting factors.
How many carbs are in each serving of Bucked Up Long Range?
Each full 3-scoop serving provides 76 grams of carbohydrate: 42g maltodextrin and 34g fructose. That is a substantial endurance-use amount, designed for longer training rather than short workouts or casual sipping.
Why does this formula use both maltodextrin and fructose?
Because they use different intestinal transporters. Maltodextrin feeds the glucose/SGLT1 pathway, while fructose uses GLUT5, which increases total carbohydrate absorption and oxidation compared with relying on one carbohydrate source alone.
Is the carb ratio in Long Range actually good for endurance performance?
Yes. At roughly 42g maltodextrin to 34g fructose, the formula lands around a 1:0.8 ratio, which aligns well with modern endurance fueling research showing strong performance support and often better GI tolerance than older 2:1 blends.
How much sodium does Bucked Up Long Range provide?
It provides 500mg sodium per serving from sodium chloride. That is enough to be functionally relevant for hydration, muscle contraction, and support of glucose absorption during endurance exercise.
When should I use Bucked Up Long Range?
Use it for long runs, rides, conditioning sessions, tournaments, rucks, or hot-weather training where session length and sweat rate justify real intra-workout support. Most users will do best sipping it shortly before and during exercise rather than drinking it all at once.
Can I use Long Range for short workouts?
Usually, that is not the best use case. A full serving delivers 76g of carbohydrate, which makes the most sense when the workout is long or demanding enough to require meaningful fuel replacement.
Will this upset my stomach?
Tolerance depends on the athlete, the water volume used, and how quickly the serving is consumed. The use of both maltodextrin and fructose is meant to improve total carb handling, but if you are sensitive to fructose or concentrated drinks, start with a half serving and more water.
Does Bucked Up Long Range contain a proprietary blend?
No. Based on the verified formula provided, the key active ingredients are disclosed with clear amounts, including carbohydrate and electrolyte totals that actually let you judge the formula against endurance nutrition research.
Can I stack Long Range with caffeine or a pre-workout?
Yes, but do it intentionally. Long Range is primarily for fuel and hydration, so if you want caffeine for alertness, it is usually better to add that separately rather than confuse stimulant dose with carbohydrate needs.
