CARBO GEL 2:1

Why CARBO GEL 2:1 by Vitastrong?

The body's carbohydrate stores are limited, and in endurance activities lasting more than an hour, athletes plan to consume them during exercise, at regular intervals: this is the basis of competitive nutrition in cycling, running, and triathlons. To do this without stopping, you need easy-to-take gels with a clear carbohydrate content. Many traditional gels top out at 20-25 g per sachet: to get the same amount, you'll need to carry and open twice as many.

CARBO GEL 2:1 delivers 40 g of carbohydrates in a single 60 ml gel, made from maltodextrin and fructose in a 2:1 ratio: two sugars that the body absorbs through two different pathways, the blend used in endurance nutrition when many grams of carbohydrates are needed per hour. It also provides 300 mg of potassium, 15% of the nutrient reference value, and 56 mg of magnesium.

• 40g in a single gel: almost double the amount of a traditional gel. You can carry less in your pocket and always know how many grams of carbohydrates you're consuming.
• Declared 2:1 ratio: maltodextrin and fructose in the proportions written on the label, the same blend used by endurance athletes.
• Potassium for muscles: Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Each gel contains 300 mg.
• You can drink it, not squeeze it: just rip off the cap and drink through a straw. The gel is liquid, so you can take it without water and it doesn't drip, even on the go.
• Neutral taste: not sweet and without aromas, the third or fourth gel of the day does not tire.
• Zero caffeine: also suitable for evening outings and for those who consume caffeine separately.
• The format to try it: 7 gels are enough to test it in a few long runs and understand your pace before the race.
