FAQs

How many gels are in a box?

A box contains 20 individual 60g sachets of Applied Nutrition Vimto Isotonic Energy Gels.

When should I consume an energy gel?

Consume one gel every 45-60 minutes during prolonged endurance exercise. Timing can be adjusted based on individual needs and intensity of activity. It's often recommended to consume one about 15 minutes before the end of your warm-up and then continue during your event.

Can I consume these gels without water?

While the isotonic formula is designed for easy digestion, consuming gels with water is highly recommended to aid absorption and prevent dehydration.

Are these gels suitable for vegetarians?

The product information does not specify vegetarian or vegan status. Please check the product packaging for detailed ingredient and allergen information.

What is the shelf life of the energy gels?

The shelf life is typically indicated by a best before date on the packaging. Store them as recommended to maintain quality.

What does 'Informed Sport Certified' mean?

Informed Sport certification means that each batch of the product has been tested for banned substances by a world-class anti-doping laboratory, ensuring it is safe for athletes.

Can I use these gels for weight training?

While they provide carbohydrates for energy, they are primarily designed for endurance activities. For weight training, a focus on protein and different carbohydrate timing might be more beneficial, but they can still offer an energy boost if needed.

Troubleshooting

Gel causes digestive discomfort

Ensure you are consuming the gel with adequate water. Try consuming smaller amounts more frequently. If discomfort persists, consider other energy sources.

Difficulty opening sachet

Tear the sachet at the designated notch. If a sachet is difficult to open, use scissors carefully or seek assistance.

Product tastes different than expected

Flavor perception can vary. If the Vimto flavor is not to your liking, consider trying a different flavor from the Applied Nutrition range.
