Product detailed description
Energy gel is a fast-acting energy gel that endurance athletes in particular swear by. Its base is a combination of maltodextrin (44%) and fructose (22%), which together provide 33 g of carbohydrates per pack. This is a well-designed dual carbohydrate system, also known as Dual-Source Carbohydrates or MTC (Multiple Transportable Carbohydrates). This ensures both a rapid and a sustained supply of energy, which you'll appreciate during longer training sessions or races in running, cycling or triathlon. The formula is complemented by 60 mg of caffeine, 333 mg of taurine and an electrolyte from sea salt, a combination you'll especially appreciate during the critical moments of a race or tough training session. The gel contains no gluten, lactose or artificial sweeteners and is also suitable for vegans.
Selected vitamins are included too. Vitamin C, B3 (niacin) and B6 (pyridoxine) contribute to reducing tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy metabolism. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal glycogen metabolism, the body's reserve energy source during physical exertion. Carbohydrates themselves contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after highly intensive physical exercise, with the beneficial effect achieved through a total intake of 4 g of carbohydrates per kg of body weight from all sources within 4 hours after exercise.
It is taken before exercise and then every 30 minutes during it. Wash down each dose with 200 to 300 ml of water or a hypotonic drink. The maximum daily dose is 3 sachets. Thanks to two fruit flavours during exertion it provides a pleasant refreshment.
This energy gel for endurance athletes will become your secret weapon, whether you're facing a marathon, a demanding cycling stage, a triathlon race or or a mountain hike. It simply comes in handy for anyone who needs a convenient and reliable source of energy right at hand during exercise. The practical single-use sachet fits easily into a running belt, a vest or the pocket of a cycling jersey.
Other benefits include the way the dual carbohydrate system works on a physiological level. Glucose from maltodextrin is absorbed into the bloodstream via a specific transporter. When this transporter is saturated, the body can't release more glucose into the blood and the energy supply slows down. That's why the gel also contains fructose, which uses an alternative transporter and so avoids this blockage. As a result, the body is able to process a greater amount of carbohydrates per hour than when using a single source, which is ideal for high-intensity or long-duration exertion. Experience the difference and push your limits with fuel you can rely on one hundred percent out on the course.
