How do you keep your energy levels up during a sporting challenge? Do you still belong to the group that takes bananas and cookie bars? Or are you one of the category that chooses a liquid energy gel? And do you then choose a gel with or without caffeine? The energy gels from Amacx Sports Nutrition are a quick and easy way to supplement the right need for energy.
Let's start by explaining why drinkable gels are a better choice than the thicker gels, where you always have to drink a few sips of water. During exercise, carbohydrates are the most important source of energy for your body. However, the carbohydrate supply that is stored in your body is limited. During prolonged exercise, it is important to replenish your carbohydrate supply. This drinkable energy gel is ready-to-use and can be drunk without water. And are therefore absorbed faster, so that you can keep going for longer!
Which drinkable energy gel do you choose?
At Amacx Sports Nutrition we have developed different types of drinkable gels; with and without caffeine. The Amacx Drink Gel and Turbo Gel both use maltodextrin and fructose as a carbohydrate source to support performance, the difference lies in the ratio between the two types. The Drink Gel is a ready-to-use energy gel to which water has already been added. This gel contains the different carbohydrate sources with a 2:1 carbohydrate ratio (glucose - fructose) for a gradual energy release. Various studies have shown that this ratio is the most ideal, because the body can best absorb the required energy in this way.
The Turbo Gel Caffeine contains the same carbohydrate sources, but with a different ratio: 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio. This type of energy gel is perfectly suited for those sports moments when you demand a lot from your body. Thanks to the caffeine you stay sharp and fatigue is delayed during long efforts; crucial for the decisive moments in the competition! In addition, both types of gels are available in different fresh flavors, so there is always one for you.
