The blend of two carbohydrates - maltodextrin & fructose, along with calcium lactate, provide for a premium energy solution. The easy to open tab allows for quick and easy consumption no matter where you are or what activity you are undertaking. Energy Gels provide immediate and long lasting fuel for the athlete in all of us.
Why is Lactate added to the gels? If you exercise or exert your body in anyway - you require energy. Approximately 1/3 of your total carbohydrate energy is from lactate, the rest is from blood glucose and muscle glycogen. Lactate is the body’s preferred fuel over glucose. Your body will use lactate first. The more lactate you use during exercise, the less muscle glycogen you have to use, which means your glycogen stores will last longer and this equates to more energy.
