High-carbohydrate energy gel that can be taken without water. Ideal for runners.

The available amount of carbohydrates in the body is a key factor that determines performance during long periods of physical exercise lasting several hours. To maintain energy, it is essential to replenish carbohydrates before and during exercise to sustain blood glucose levels and replenish muscle glycogen (sugar stored in muscles).

If no carbohydrates are consumed during prolonged exercise, muscle glycogen will be depleted in approximately 90 minutes, leading to fatigue. Athletes can consume drinks, energy bars, or gels to maintain their energy levels.

How Many Carbohydrates Should Be Taken During Exercise?

• Exercises <1h: No need to consume carbohydrates during exercise
• Exercises 1-2h: 30g of carbohydrates per hour
• Exercises 2-3h: 60g of carbohydrates per hour
• Exercises >2.5-3h: Up to 90g of carbohydrates per hour

The benefit of an energy gel compared to a carbohydrate-rich drink is that it provides a highly concentrated source of carbohydrates, avoiding the need to drink large volumes of liquid, which can cause stomach discomfort. Compared to an energy bar, gels are absorbed much faster, typically within 10 minutes, as they contain no protein or fat, which slow down stomach emptying.

The Isotonic Drink Energy Gel has an isotonic composition, meaning it contains the same number of particles as the blood, allowing for optimal absorption of moisture, carbohydrates, and minerals. This gel can be consumed without water, making it ideal for athletes who need to carry their energy supply with them, such as runners.
