These gels are best used during prolonged endurance activities (over 60-90 minutes) such as long-distance running, cycling, or triathlons. Consume them strategically to maintain energy levels, typically starting around 45-60 minutes into your activity.
General recommendations vary, but a common strategy is one gel every 45-60 minutes. Always listen to your body and adjust based on your personal needs and the intensity of your activity. Ensure adequate fluid intake with each gel.
Yes, it is highly recommended to drink water immediately after consuming each gel. This helps with absorption, prevents a sticky feeling in the mouth and throat, and aids in maintaining hydration.
The primary energy source comes from 25g of dual-source carbohydrates, designed for efficient absorption and utilization by the body.
Dual source carbohydrates typically means a blend of different types of sugars (e.g., glucose and fructose) that can be absorbed through different pathways in the gut, allowing for a higher overall carbohydrate intake without overwhelming digestion, thus providing more sustained energy.
Store the gels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid freezing them.
The flavour is Apple & Blackcurrant, derived from natural fruit extracts.
Ensure you are drinking sufficient water (at least 200-300ml) immediately after consuming the gel. Try taking smaller sips of water more frequently between gels. Reduce the frequency of gel intake.
Use the tear notch clearly marked on the sachet. If the notch is difficult to find or open, careful use of scissors might be an alternative, ensuring no gel is lost.
Check the expiry date. If the product is within its expiry date and appears compromised (e.g., leaking sachet, unusual appearance), do not consume it and contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Usage: These energy gels are ready to consume directly from the sachet. Tear open the top and squeeze the contents into your mouth. It is crucial to follow consumption with adequate water (approx. 200-300ml) to aid absorption and hydration.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the gels are kept at room temperature or below. Do not freeze.
Compatibility: These gels are designed for consumption by adults engaged in strenuous physical activity. They are compatible with most sports nutrition strategies. However, individuals with specific dietary restrictions or medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use.
Care: No specific care is required for the product itself, beyond proper storage. Ensure the sachets remain sealed until ready for consumption to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
