When athletes use energy gels, they sometimes do not absorb enough water. Sometimes they simply forget to drink, or the situation does not always allow for a combined intake. This results in a concentrated mixture of carbohydrates with a very high osmolality in the stomach. This slows down gastric emptying and, consequently, the absorption rate, which generally leads to gastrointestinal disturbances.

The 6d ISOGEL contains only 20 g of carbohydrates in the form of a carefully selected very high molecular weight maltodextrin. As a result, the 6d ISOGEL is already isotonic by itself, which means that this gel is absorbed more quickly than most other gels. Therefore, it is not necessary to combine this gel with water to obtain an isotonic solution. In short, the 6d ISOGEL is the ideal choice for athletes who cannot/want not to consume water at the same time and/or in cases of shorter duration efforts (1-2 hours).

WHY USE AN ENERGY GEL?

During exercise, your body draws on its glycogen reserves, which is the primary source of energy for the muscles. After one hour of effort, it is therefore necessary to provide it with energy again in order to continue. The energy gel will meet this need thanks to its carbohydrate content.

Use 1 gel per hour of effort. Although the 6d ISOGEL is already isotonic in itself, it is still important to drink enough water.
