What is it for?

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 carbohydrate intake, caffeine or electrolytes have gained special relevance. Secondly, the intake of intra-training carbohydrates must cover the needs of the athlete and have the optimal amounts of them 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. . Nevertheless, In those sports where large amounts of carbohydrates are consumed (greater than 45/60/g), the combination of a source of glucose with fructose in a 2:1 ratio may be a good option in order to increase the total amount of carbohydrates. 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 some very interesting characteristics, since they provide 20 g of maltodextrin and 10 of fructose per gel (a total of 30 g of carbohydrates), 200 mg of sodium (main electrolyte lost through sweat).

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, its organoleptic properties stimulate the desire to hydrate and have a mild flavor that is not excessively sweet or bitter so that it can be consumed continuously in longer training sessions and competitions. On the other hand, they have a simple and quick opening that avoids distractions and facilitates their consumption.

Lastly, as they do not have stimulants in their composition, they can be combined with other gels or products high in caffeine or used in sessions where stimulants are not consumed to adapt the guidelines to the needs of the athlete as much as possible.

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.
