ITU World Triathlon Series

Sponsors

Dextro Energy

Dextro Energy is one of two Main Sponsors of the ITU World Triathlon Series.

Dextro Energy is the world wide leader in the dextrose market. In fact, Dextro Energy has stood for generations as a synonym for dextrose. The market was discovered and established over 75 years ago with "Dextro Energen". In March 2005, the Zertus Group took over the long-standing brand "Dextro Energy" from Unilever. Today the medium-sized company is managed from Krefeld, Germany, under the name Dextro Energy GmbH & Co. KG as an independent, fully-owned subsidiary of Zertus GmbH. Dextro Energy works by providing natural dextrose (also known as glucose) as an additional source of energy, which is easily absorbed into the blood stream and goes directly to the brain and muscles. It delivers instant energy acting as a motor for higher levels of performance and concentration. This functional product promise is well-supported by many scientific studies. Whether it be cubes, sticks, minis, bars or powder - the Dextro Energy range of products provides a rich source of energy and plenty of flavour as well.
