FAQs

How many gels should I consume per hour?

For endurance sessions, aim for 90-120g of carbohydrates per hour, which equates to 2-3 of these gels depending on your other fueling sources.

Do I need to drink water with this gel?

Yes, consuming these gels with water is essential for optimal hydration and efficient digestion.

Is this suitable for a 30-minute workout?

These are formulated for sessions lasting 2 hours or more; for shorter workouts, a lower carbohydrate load is typically sufficient.

Why is the 1:0.8 ratio important?

This ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized, improving performance while limiting gastrointestinal stress.

Does this replace my electrolyte drink?

It provides a significant amount of sodium, but you should monitor your total sweat-based electrolyte losses to determine if additional supplementation is needed.

Troubleshooting

Digestive discomfort during use

Ensure you are consuming the gel with adequate water and verify you are not exceeding your gut's hourly absorption capacity.

Feeling dehydrated after consumption

Increase your plain water intake when using gels to ensure the high carbohydrate concentration is properly diluted in the stomach.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High carbohydrate density (40g) allows for fewer gels per hour.
  • Optimized ratio improves digestive comfort compared to older formulas.
  • Significant sodium content (200mg) supports hydration.
  • Convenient 60ml serving size for easy consumption on the move.

Cons

  • Requires significant water intake to aid absorption.
  • High caloric load may be unnecessary for sessions under 90 minutes.
  • Taste preference is subjective, specifically the Raspberry and Lemon profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate these gels into your routine, start by practicing with them during training sessions before utilizing them in a race environment. Always consume the gel with water to assist with gastric emptying and hydration. Store the gels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. Because of the high electrolyte content, ensure you are tracking your overall salt intake if you are stacking these with other electrolyte supplements.
