FAQs

How many gels should I consume during an event?

The number of gels needed varies based on the duration and intensity of your activity, as well as your individual fueling strategy. A common guideline is to consume one gel every 45-75 minutes of prolonged exercise, but it's best to experiment during training.

Do I need to drink water with this gel?

Yes, it is recommended to drink water with energy gels to help with digestion and absorption of the carbohydrates.

What is the 2:1 carbohydrate ratio?

This refers to the ratio of different types of carbohydrates used in the gel, typically a mix of glucose/maltodextrin and fructose. This specific ratio is designed to optimize energy delivery and absorption during endurance activities.

Can I use this gel for short, intense workouts?

While primarily designed for endurance, it can be used for shorter, intense workouts if you feel you need an immediate energy boost. However, for very short durations, other fueling strategies might be more appropriate.

What are the main carbohydrate sources in this gel?

The gel contains various sources of carbohydrates designed for gradual release, featuring a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrate types.

Is this gel suitable for vegetarians?

The product information does not specify dietary suitability. Please check the product packaging for detailed ingredient and allergen information.

How long is the shelf life of the gel?

Please refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain optimal quality.

Troubleshooting

Gel is difficult to open

Tear at the marked notch on the sachet. If still difficult, use clean scissors carefully.

Feeling of heaviness or stomach discomfort after consumption

Ensure adequate hydration by drinking water alongside the gel. Try consuming it earlier in your activity or consider a different flavor or product if discomfort persists.

Gel consistency seems thicker than usual

This can sometimes occur in very cold conditions. Try warming the sachet slightly in your hand before consumption. Ensure the product has not expired.
