Product Information

In terms of tearing open and consuming the energy gel on the move, it’s very well designed. Despite the watery consistency, it wasn’t messy and no accidental spillage occurred. Our bodies start to deplete the carbohydrate and glycogen levels as soon as we start the race if not sooner from the pre-race adrenaline. The base of Honey Stinger’s energy gels is pure honey along with electrolytes and B-vitamins. It doesn’t matter the flavor, you’ll still get the nutrients and energy from honey’s natural sugars. I highly recommend this energy gel for any distance of triathlon you’re competing in. You’ll get the extra boost when you need it and your muscles won’t tighten up. Remember to take it five minutes before your race and then another one 45 minutes later.

With more understanding of sports technology than ever before, it’s not only sports professionals that can reap the benefits of the advances of sports nutrition, but you find the best ways to fuel your body on the go too. If you fuel properly, you can just take one gel before the race and one after. Some complaints claim that the gels don’t work. You can’t rely solely on the gels for all your energy so having a good meal the night before a race is crucial. Apple: Water, Maltodextrin (from Maize) (33%), Gelling Agents (Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum), Natural Flavouring, Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate), Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate), Sweetener (Acesulfame K), Sodium Chloride, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).

The simple sugars in running gel gets absorbed into your bloodstream as glucose, which gives you an energy spike, which is then absorbed by the active muscles and organs.The gels will give you a “wake up” and make you more alert the course. It also helps give your muscles a little push when you’re really feeling fatigued. It takes around 500g of carbohydrate to fill your glycogen stores and, at most, this will last you for 60-90 minutes of running at 55-75 percent of your maximal heart rate,' explains leading sports dietician Renee McGregor. 'The faster you go, the sooner your stores will deplete.' UK-based Science in Sport (SiS) is a pioneer in applying isotonic solutions to sports fueling, and claims that its signature GO series is the world’s first isotonic energy gel. Today, let’s have a look at the science behind it, followed by a review after a 36km long run fueled by SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gels. If your stomach has problems with the gels and you still want to use it, there are solutions for this. Instead of ingesting the entire gel, try breaking it up throughout the race.

The box tells you when and how often to use the gels, but experiment with what works best for your body. If this is your first time using the gels, you might want to wash it down with some water. It could prevent stomach aches or cramping.While you wait for your race, the gel’s nutrients will steadily flow into your body’s system. You won’t feel anything just yet.
