What are Energy Gels?
Energy gels are created for an instant boost of energy, helping you to refuel during exercise. Our Energy Gel Elite sachets are a combination of maltodextrin and fructose, with an electrolyte and vitamin blend for a complete all-in-one formula. The added electrolytes are especially important as they’re lost from the body through sweat during exercise.
When to Use Energy Gels?
Energy gels are great for providing an instant hit of carbs, electrolytes and vitamins — making them ideal to keep topped up during prolonged endurance exercise. Whether you’re playing football, on a long-distance cycle ride, or you’re running a marathon, these handy sachets are a perfect solution.

Energy gels provide a readily available carbohydrate source for our body to use as fuel. They're also loaded with other performance protecting enhancing dietary components, such as electrolytes and certain vitamins, that can help you perform at your best.
How often should you take gels during long-distance running or cycling?
Our body can effectively absorb around 60g of carbohydrates per hour. Our gels provide 25g of carbohydrates per serving. You could have one every 30 minutes then if you look at it that way, however starting off with one per hour and seeing how that impacts your performance would be a good start!
