Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this gel suitable for vegan athletes?

Please refer to the product packaging for a full list of ingredients and dietary suitability information, as specific ingredients can vary.

How many gels should I consume during an event?

The optimal number of gels varies based on the duration and intensity of the event, as well as individual metabolic needs. A general guideline is to consume one gel every 45-60 minutes after the first hour of prolonged exercise. Consult with a sports nutritionist for personalized advice.

Can I use these gels for short, intense workouts?

While primarily designed for endurance, they can provide a quick energy boost for shorter, high-intensity activities if needed. However, their gradual release may not be optimal for immediate, explosive energy demands.

What is the shelf life of the gels?

The shelf life is typically indicated on the product packaging. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.

Can I mix this gel with water if I prefer a thinner consistency?

While water is already added, you can add a small amount of water to the gel in your mouth to dilute it further if you find the consistency too thick.

Does the 2:1 carbohydrate ratio refer to glucose:fructose?

The 2:1 ratio typically refers to the ratio of different carbohydrate sources, often maltodextrin to fructose, which is known to enhance carbohydrate absorption during prolonged exercise. Please check the product's detailed specification for exact carbohydrate types used.

Troubleshooting

Gel seems thicker than expected

Ensure the gel has been stored within the recommended temperature range. Extreme cold can thicken the contents.

Digestive discomfort after consumption

This can occur if too much is consumed too quickly. Try consuming smaller amounts more frequently or ensure adequate hydration alongside the gel.

Gel is difficult to open

Use the tear notch on the packaging. If difficult, try using a small tool or asking for assistance.
