226ERS Caffeine-Cherry Energy Gel

Key Points Energy gel made with maltodextrin and fructose in a 10:8 ratio. Its carbohydrate content is high at 30 g and 55 g per gel for the 44 g and 80 g formats respectively. This formula is based on "multiple transportable carbohydrates"; studies* have shown that during prolonged exercise, the intake of carbohydrates absorbed in the intestine by various transporters is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates beyond 60 g/hour.* Research confirms that the ideal is to combine different sources of carbohydrates. For our part, we have opted, on the one hand, for maltodextrin, which allows us to control molecular weight/osmolarity, and on the other hand, for fructose of course. MALTOD Extrin: > Unlike glucose, it must be broken down, which provides a more gradual and sustainable source of energy. > It has a high glycaemic index, which causes a rapid increase in blood sugar without necessarily being accompanied by an overly sweet taste that can lead to a saturation of consumption of these types of products. > As a group of carbohydrates, it has a high molecular weight that results in a much lower osmolarity solution, making it easier to digest and reducing gastrointestinal side effects. FRUCTOSE: > Fructose is a monosaccharide, the simplest form of carbohydrates, when used in a 1:0.8 ratio, based on the latest research to maximize the oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other ratios. > The use of fructose in such a specific proportion is particularly recommended for athletes exceeding carbohydrate intakes of 60g/h.
