Carbohydrates are a vital source of energy and a key predictor of athletic performance. For this reason, they are consumed in significant amounts as part of a sports diet. Particularly in endurance sports, it is crucial to include them before, during, and after training sessions.

This product contains maltodextrin, fructose, sodium, and caffeine.
What is it for?
In recent years, due to the high energy demands of certain sports activities, the role of nutrition during training has been optimized as a crucial pillar. Key factors such as carbohydrates, caffeine, and electrolytes have become increasingly important. Carbohydrate intake during training must meet the athlete's needs and provide optimal amounts tailored to each individual.
Additionally, carbohydrate consumption during exercise involves different transport mechanisms when consumed in high quantities. For moderate intake, a source of glucose is sufficient. However, in sports with high demands (above 45/60 g), a 2:1 combination of glucose and fructose is an effective strategy to increase total intake. Using fructose in combination with glucose is often more beneficial than using them separately.
These gels offer noteworthy features: each unit provides 20 g of maltodextrin, 10 g of fructose (30 g total carbohydrates), and 200 mg of sodium, the main electrolyte lost through sweat.
The design of these gels considers the primary limitations faced by athletes. They have a watery texture that facilitates consumption, are refreshing, and have a smooth taste that is neither overly sweet nor bitter, making them suitable for prolonged use during training and competitions. Additionally, their easy-open design allows for quick and distraction-free consumption.
For these reasons, these maltodextrin and fructose gels are an excellent choice for sports requiring high carbohydrate intake.
Benefits:
- Supplies carbohydrates during exercise.
- Combines fructose with glucose to increase total carbohydrate intake.
- Offers a smooth taste without excessive sweetness or bitterness.
- Watery texture for easy consumption.
- Ergonomic opening for convenience.
What dose to take?
Adjust the dose to meet your energy and nutritional needs. Research shows that consuming 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates during exercise enhances performance in medium- and long-duration sports. If you need 30 g per hour, you can opt for one gel.
