Energy Gel

• 25 g of carbohydrates from various sources per 60 ml sachet
• With added electrolytes and vitamins
• Delicious lemon flavour
• Compact size

During a long endurance training session, you’ll often notice instinctively when your carbohydrate stores start to run low. Your pace drops slightly and your legs start to feel heavier and heavier. Taking extra nutrition whilst on the go makes sense, but a bar or other solid food isn’t always ideal whilst exercising. Not only because it’s less practical to eat whilst running or cycling, but also because solid food is generally absorbed more slowly than a gel or drink. What’s more, during intense exercise your breathing is often rapid, which simply makes eating a substantial meal whilst on the move less comfortable.

A gel can be a good choice at such times, as it allows you to consume carbohydrates quickly and easily without having to chew much during your training. This Energy Gel has been developed precisely for that purpose.

Compact with 25 grams of carbohydrates

Each sachet contains 25 grams of carbohydrates from a mix of different carbohydrate sources. Small enough to carry easily in your trouser pocket, cycling jersey or running belt, without having to lug around large water bottles or energy bars whilst on the move. This makes the gel suitable for prolonged exercise where you want to consume carbohydrates regularly. Carbohydrates contribute to the restoration of normal muscle function (contraction) following very intensive and/or prolonged physical activity that has led to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscles.

With sodium, vitamin C and vitamin B12

The formula also contains added sodium, a mineral that you lose through perspiration during exercise. Vitamin C and vitamin B12 have also been added. Both vitamins contribute to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B12 also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, whilst vitamin C helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
