The amount of carbohydrates available is a performance determining factor for long duration efforts. Therefore, it is important to replenish carbohydrates before and during these efforts. This is because they maintain blood glucose levels during exercise and replenish muscle glycogen (stored sugar in the muscle). If no carbohydrates were taken during prolonged efforts (via drinks, bars, or gels), muscle glycogen reserves would be depleted after about 90 minutes.
Etixx Energy Gel contains 30 g of carbohydrates, in an ideal ratio of 2:1 (glucose:fructose) for optimal carbohydrate absorption. To take in as many carbohydrates via an energy drink, for example, you quickly have to drink large amounts, which can cause stomach discomfort. Moreover, this gel contains no added nutrients, such as proteins or fats, which slow down stomach emptying.
