Description

Composition

This product is made up of maltodextrin, fructose and sodium.

What is it for?

Especially within endurance sports, its inclusion is important both before, during and after the tests..

Due to the enormous energy demands of these activities in recent years, the role of nutrition during training has been reinforced as one of the basic pillars. For this reason, factors such as the intake of carbohydrates or electrolytes have gained special relevance. Secondly, Intra-training carbohydrate intake should cover the needs of the athlete and have the optimal amounts of carbohydrates for each athlete.

In turn, we must take into account that the consumption of carbohydrates during exercise is due to different transporters when consumed in large quantities, this means that under average amounts of carbohydrates, the consumption of a source of glucose is sufficient. . However, in those sports where large amounts of carbohydrates are consumed (greater than 45/60/g) the combination of a glucose source with fructose in a 2:1 ratio may be a good option to increase the total amount of carbohydrates during exercise. Therefore, the use of fructose as a carbohydrate in combination with glucose may be a more interesting action than both separately.

Thus, The gels presented have very interesting characteristics, since they provide 20 g of maltodextrin and 10 g of fructose for each gel. (a total of 30 g of carbohydrates), 200 mg of sodium (main electrolyte lost through sweat), an ideal amount and compatible with other administrations of carbohydrates or stimulants before and during the test.

On the other hand, within the parameters to be highlighted in the selection and design of these gels, we have taken into account the main limitations that athletes have:

In the first place, they have a watery texture that facilitates their consumption, they are refreshing, their organoleptic properties stimulate the desire to hydrate and they have a mild flavor that is not excessively sweet or bitter so that they can be consumed continuously during those workouts. and longer competitions. Secondly, they have a simple and quick opening that avoids distractions and facilitates their consumption.

Due to all of the above, in those sports where the consumption of carbohydrates is required, these maltodextrin and fructose gels become an excellent option.

Benefits:

• Carbohydrate intake during exercise.
• Combination of fructose with glucose sources to increase the amount of carbohydrates.
• Mild flavor without excessive bitterness or sweetness.
• Watery texture for easy consumption.
• Simple opening.

What dose to consume?

Adjust the dose to your daily energy and nutritional needs. However, the consumption of 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates during exercise has been shown to have an ergogenic effect in sports of medium and long duration. In this way, if you need 30 g of carbohydrates per hour, you can consume 1 of our gels.
