Ultra Energy Gel
Ultra Energy Gel
During endurance activities, maintaining stable energy levels and hydration is crucial. Our Ultra Energy Gel is specially formulated to provide 45g of carbohydrates in a 1:0,8 ratio, for efficient energy replenishment without requiring additional water, making it convenient to consume during intense efforts.
A 2:1 carbohydrate ratio (glucose to fructose) is widely used in endurance nutrition because it already improves carbohydrate absorption by using multiple uptake pathways in the gut (one for glucose and one for fructose). It allows athletes to take in more energy per hour than glucose alone, typically supporting moderate to high intake levels during exercise.
A 1:0,8 ratio takes this concept a step further by increasing the proportion of fructose slightly. This more closely matches the gut’s combined transport capacity, allowing even higher carbohydrate absorption rates when targeting very high energy intake. In practice, this can support higher energy availability per hour while maintaining good stomach comfort.
One Ultra Energy Gel provides 45g of carbohydrates per serving, the Ultra Energy Bar provides 41g of carbohydrates, and our High Carb Drink Mix delivers 90g per full serving (4 scoops). All of these products have a 1:0,8 ratio. Together, they are designed to make it easy to match your carbohydrate intake to your training or racing demands.
For a target of around 90g of carbohydrates per hour, you can choose different combinations depending on preference and intensity. This could be 2 Ultra Energy Gels, or 2 Ultra Energy Bars, or 1 gel combined with 1 bar, or 1 gel combined with 2 scoops of High Carb, or a full serving of High Carb (4 scoops).
If you aim for a higher intake, you can increase flexibility by combining products. For example, 2 gels with 1 scoop of High Carb, or 1 gel with 1 bar and 2 scoops of High Carb, or 1 gel with 3 scoops of High Carb, allowing you to fine-tune your carbohydrate intake up to higher targets per hour.
This system gives you complete control over your fueling strategy, so you can adjust intake based on intensity, duration, and personal tolerance, ensuring consistent energy availability throughout your session or race.
If you are not used to high carbohydrate intakes, gradually increase your intake over time.
