Each gel contains 50g of carbohydrates and 450mg of sodium, making it a true all-in-one option for long, hot training days or races where your hydration and energy demands are higher. With a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, it’s designed to support efficient energy uptake while being gentle on the stomach. This gel also stands out for what it doesn’t contain – no preservatives, no gelling agents, and no artificial flavours – offering a clean, functional fuelling experience.

The Salted Original flavour is created without added flavouring. Instead, it gets its bright, sweet and slightly citrusy taste from the natural ingredients and acidity regulators. The added sodium (from sodium chloride and sodium citrate) adds a gentle tang and saltiness, enhancing palatability during long sessions. Its thin consistency makes it easy to take without water, though hydration is always encouraged – especially in warmer conditions.

This gel has been carefully formulated with a short list of ingredients: water, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose, citric acid, sodium citrate, and sodium chloride. The absence of gelling agents such as xanthan gum also reduces the risk of GI distress, making it an ideal choice for athletes with ingredient sensitivities or those seeking a more natural fuel.

Whether you're fuelling a marathon, ultra, or intense training block, this gel offers an efficient and accessible way to meet your carbohydrate and sodium needs. It’s vegan, gluten-free and formulated for real-world performance, with the right balance of simplicity, functionality and taste to support endurance athletes of all levels.

Carbs Fuel Salted Original Energy Gel uses a blend of maltodextrin, sucrose, and fructose to create a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio. This ratio supports rapid and sustained carbohydrate absorption, which is essential during extended efforts. The added sodium – 450mg per gel – helps replenish what’s lost through sweat, supporting hydration and reducing the risk of cramps or hyponatraemia during prolonged exercise.

What sets this gel apart is its simplicity. Without gelling agents or preservatives, and by balancing water activity and pH, Carbs Fuel has achieved a clean, shelf-stable formula that’s gut-friendly and easy to consume. Its low viscosity makes it ideal for athletes who struggle with thick, overly sweet gels, especially later into a session.
