Optimise Your Performance with Etixx Isotonic Drink Energy Gel
The amount of available carbohydrates in your body is a key factor in determining performance during long periods of physical exercise that last several hours. To maintain peak performance, it’s essential to replenish carbohydrates before and during exercise. Carbohydrates help maintain blood glucose levels and replenish muscle glycogen (sugar stored in muscles). Without adequate carbohydrate intake—whether from drinks, bars, or gels—muscle glycogen stores can be depleted in about 90 minutes, leading to fatigue.
Carbohydrate Intake Recommendations During Exercise:
• Exercises < 1 hour: Carbohydrate intake not necessary.
• Exercises 1-2 hours: 30g of carbohydrates per hour.
• Exercises 2-3 hours: 60g of carbohydrates per hour.
• Exercises > 2.5-3 hours: Up to 90g of carbohydrates per hour.
Why Choose an Energy Gel?
Energy gels are a highly concentrated source of carbohydrates, offering a convenient alternative to carbohydrate-rich drinks or bars. To consume the same amount of carbohydrates from an isotonic drink, you would need to drink half a litre of liquid, which can cause stomach discomfort. In contrast, an energy gel is absorbed much faster—within just 10 minutes—because it contains no protein or fat that could slow down stomach emptying.
The Etixx Isotonic Drink Energy Gel is isotonic, meaning it has the same number of particles as your blood. This ensures optimal absorption of moisture, carbohydrates, and minerals. The advantage of this gel is that it can be consumed without water, making it ideal for athletes who need to carry their energy supplies, such as runners.
