If this sounds like you
You've done the training. The fuelling is what keeps letting you down.
Those are the four things our customers wrote about most in their reviews. All four are fuelling problems, not fitness problems.
The difference
Why it doesn't wreck your stomach
Most endurance drinks are built on maltodextrin because it's cheap. It's also the reason so many people cramp, bloat and blow up late in a race.

Why this exists
I collapsed at the Cairns Marathon in 2023. Pulse came out of that.
I had run 1:27 for the half four weeks earlier and I went to Cairns chasing 1:24. I did not fuel it properly and I did not hydrate it properly, and I did not finish it. I came off the course dehydrated and under-fuelled in front of my family.
What I found afterwards was that the fuelling knowledge was hard to come by, and the products you could actually buy in Australia were worse. Cheap carbs chosen on price, vague labels, proprietary blends that tell you nothing about what you are putting in your body an hour before a race.
So I built the thing I needed that day. Properly dosed, every number printed on the tub, nothing hidden behind a blend name. I am not a supplement company that went looking for a marketing angle. I am a runner who got it badly wrong once and decided to stop guessing.

What's actually in it
Four ingredients doing the work
Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin
A long-chain carbohydrate that clears the stomach quickly instead of sitting there. More expensive than maltodextrin by a distance. It's the single reason this formula costs what it does.
Himalayan Pink Salt
Delivering 525mg of sodium per serve, roughly double what a typical sports drink gives you. Sodium is what holds the fluid you're drinking where it's useful.
Beetroot Extract
Standardised to 50% betaine nitrate. Included at a dose you can actually read on the label, which is more than most brands will show you.
Monk Fruit
No stevia aftertaste and no bloating. It is what lets the formula sit at 0.2g of sugars per serve without tasting like nothing, and it is why the sweetness holds up on the third bottle instead of turning cloying.
Built for Australian conditions
525mg of sodium, because you are not training in England.
Most endurance formulas are built around mild northern hemisphere racing and carry under 250mg of sodium a serve. Train through an Australian summer and you sweat that out inside the first half hour, which is why so many people end up carrying salt tablets on top of their drink mix and still cramping.
It has been great in my training runs, especially in our extremely hot and humid conditions, where I don't have to top up with any salt tablets.
We formulate, pack and ship out of Far North Queensland. The sodium number was set for the conditions we actually train in, not the ones on the imported label.

I use this product when riding enduro in the tropics and it’s a great start thing keeping me hydrated and energy levels up
As someone who has always struggled to fuel pre race or training due to stomach upset, I have found pulse my absolute game changer. Its clean fuel with no nasties and extremely palatable. Not only is it helping me power through events and training, but it gives me sustained energy output through the day as well assisting with recovery. Living in Tropical north QLD salt loss and dyhdration becomes a massive stress on the body, Pulse has given the replenishment my body needs to keep kicking goals.
I live in a hot humid part of Queensland and tried many hydration products but pulse is a game changer! Taste amazing, quality ingredients, very light on the stomach and 20grams of carbs is perfect for any sport or fitness activity!
Love the watermelon flavour keep up the great work guys
Amazing product. Love the minimal ingredient list. You can taste the salty taste, which I personally like but some people aren’t a fan.
It was good flavour, you could tell it was different to all the others.
Pulse Nutrition’s Endurance Fuel has been a game changer for me day-to-day. I’m not using it for intense workouts—just long workdays where energy and focus matter—and it really delivers. It mixes easily, tastes great without being overpowering, and gives a steady boost without any crash later on.
I’ve noticed I stay more hydrated and alert throughout the day, especially during physically demanding tasks. It’s become a regular part of my routine, and I genuinely feel the difference when I don’t have it. Highly recommend it to anyone needing consistent, reliable energy for work or everyday life.
love the watermelon flavour.
Mother’s milk man!
Got me through a 100mile ultra in 24 hours
I was searching for something that had natural and straight forward ingredients to help boost my gym and running and the endurance fuel has done just that, I feel way better fuelled during my runs! Highly recommend!
Easily the best endurance fuel I’ve had, I’ve been through a few different products from different company’s but none have seem to sit aswell as Pulse.
So easy on the gut during those long efforts! Highly recommend
I've been used to the mixed Berry flavour so was wonderfully surprised by the taste of the watermelon its very refreshing and smooth especially on those hot training days in Port Douglas definitely my new jam for power now.
Couldn’t be happier with the way it fueled me prior and after my Run.
Not to mention super easy on the stomach!!
Highly recommend
I’ve tried all the major brands out there and I truly believe Pulse have nailed this formula. The subtle taste, easiness on the stomach and the sustained energy it provides really separates itself from others like it.
Have used this product on my last 2 races and loved it! First time I’ve felt fully sustained throughout. In my recent half mara wasn’t searching for water or electrolytes, then in my recent Mara wasn’t lucky enough to have the endurance fuel at speacil aid stations which helped me not have to worry about fueling and focus more on what was in front of me!! Quality product
Unbelievable product been using it everyday since may it’s really the reason I have kept going in key sessions the real reason of fuel you’re why unbelievable product
Quality product!
Best local stuff on the market!
Live and train in a very tropical/hot and humid environment and this stuff is a life saver! did GC marathon and used endurance fuel and hydration sticks for the race and was absolutely amazed with the results!
Couldn’t recommend enough
Loved it!
As a new runner training for my first marathon it's difficult to know which products are worth your money. I've been using Endurance Fuel before my longer runs and it has honestly levelled up my longer runs and keeps me fresher for much longer with no stomach cramps. Highly recommend.
First Fuel/supplement i have used that hasn't upset my stomach mid race.
Awesome product, fuels me for my runs and gym sessions and taste unreal!
I am currently using endurance fuel for my triathlon prep. It works well with perfect ratios of electrolytes coupled with quick absorbing carbohydrates to keep me going.
The Pulse Nutrition Endurance Fuel was the only thing that got me through my first marathon! Felt like I could keep going too. Cannot recommend the product enough!
Does exactly what it says it does, highly recommend !!
I consume this not only during workouts, but on a daily basis to supplement stress/energy loss. It has become part of my ritual and loving every bit of it. I was shocked of its taste when I first had it but am in love with it now! I've bought a total of 4 tubs now, and in about several days, I'll finish off my second! Definitely recommended!!!
Highly recommended. Makes a massive difference with my endurance training.
Having the Endurance Fuel pre runs and for my big workouts has given me an extra edge in my competitions. I used to hit a wall and just felt like I couldn't push through but consistently fuelling with the Endurance fuel every single day has helped me hit some new PB's which I'm stoked about, Amazing product very satisfied customer well done Pulse Team!
Pulse is such a great tasting endurance fuel that also provides adequate sodium for longer runs. It has been great in my training runs, especially in our extremely hot & humid conditions, where I don’t have to top up with any salt tablets. I am also very pleased that I have not had any gut issues at all, like I have had in the past with other products. I drink this also daily to keep hydrated prior to training sessions, so I am prepared and ready to get the best out of each session.
Endurance fuel has been unreal! I use it on long runs, strength training and Hyrox training. Always have it about 30mins before a workout and it has been very beneficial in keeping me fuelled and training at my best!!
Endurance Fuel has been keeping me going stronger for longer on my runs. Marathon training feels easy with Endurance Fuel in my arsenal.
