The carbohydrate blend combines maltodextrin and fructose, reducing overall osmolality and making the gel lighter on the stomach during hard training or racing. This approach supports quicker gastric emptying and helps lower the risk of gut discomfort, which is a common issue during long runs, rides, or triathlon events. With a clean texture and straightforward formulation, it suits athletes who want dependable energy without unnecessary extras.

Energy Gel also contains 50mg of sodium per sachet to support hydration and performance during prolonged exercise. Available in Strawberry and Lime, Wild Berries, and Unflavoured options, it can be used as a standalone energy source or combined with hydration and recovery products as part of a broader fuelling strategy from GoldNutrition.

During prolonged exercise, especially above moderate intensity, muscle glycogen stores begin to deplete after the first hour. Energy Gel supplies carbohydrates at the point they are needed most, helping to maintain energy production and delay the onset of fatigue. The combination of maltodextrin and fructose allows the body to use multiple carbohydrate transport pathways, improving the rate of energy delivery.

Maltodextrin is rapidly broken down into glucose with low osmolality, supporting faster gastric emptying and reducing digestive stress. When combined with fructose, the gel provides efficient carbohydrate uptake even when energy demands are high. This makes Energy Gel a practical and reliable choice for maintaining performance during long or demanding sessions.
