Performance Gels offer a concentrated source of energy, making it easier to replace lost energy stores whilst training and racing. They are also hydration gels containing energy and electrolyte to aid prolonged exercise through adequate hydration and fast energy production. They are especially good for long distance running and extensive training. Energy gels are made up of mostly simple sugar, which is your body’s preferred source of fuel during exercise.
They contain fast acting fructose to give you a quick acting energy boost. They also contain maltodextrin which is a slower acting energy source. Using two types of carbohydrates means that your gut can absorb more carbohydrate, and your muscles will get a steady stream of energy. Using multiple types of carbohydrate is easier for the stomach to digest, promotes muscle carbohydrate oxidation and enhances performance .
