FAQs

How many gels are in a pack?

This product contains 24 individual 60g energy gels.

What is the carbohydrate content per gel?

Each 60g gel contains 25g of dual-source carbohydrates.

Do I need to drink water with the gel?

While the fluid gel is designed for easy consumption, drinking water alongside it can aid absorption and prevent potential digestive upset for some individuals.

When is the best time to use these gels?

These gels are best used during prolonged endurance activities (over 60-90 minutes) to maintain energy levels and combat fatigue.

Are these gels suitable for vegetarians?

The product description does not specify, but it is generally formulated with ingredients suitable for vegetarians. Please check the full ingredient list on the packaging for confirmation.

Can I use these gels for short, intense workouts?

While they provide energy, they are primarily optimized for sustained endurance efforts. For shorter, intense workouts, your body's existing energy stores might be sufficient.

What are the electrolyte benefits?

The electrolytes help to replace those lost through sweat, supporting hydration and crucial muscle functions, thereby preventing cramps and maintaining performance.

Troubleshooting

Gel is difficult to open

Tear at the designated notch on the sachet. If still difficult, consider using a small knife or scissors in a controlled manner, being careful not to spill the contents.

Digestive discomfort after consumption

This can occur if consumed too quickly or without adequate hydration. Try consuming the gel more slowly and ensure you are drinking water alongside it. If discomfort persists, consider a different energy source or consult a sports nutritionist.

Product consistency appears unusual

Check the expiry date and storage conditions. If the product is within its date and stored correctly, and the consistency is significantly different from expected (e.g., separated, very watery, or solid), do not consume and contact customer support.
