According to the product specialist
Pros
The Etixx Isotonic energy gel (40 millilitres) contains 24 grams of carbohydrates for an energy duration of 20 to 30 minutes. |
The carbohydrates in this gel consist of an ideal combination of fast sugars (glucose and maltose), semi-fast sugars (sucrose) and slow sugars (complex sugars) for fast and long lasting energy. |
The added electrolytes supplement the lost salts, due to sweating, and support the hydration of the body. |
As the Hydro gels have a highly liquid concentration, you take them without having to take a few additional sips of water. |
The Dual Carb formula with a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio enables a maximum carb intake of 90 grams an hour. |
The added sodium (approx. 200 mg per gel) contributes to good moisture absorption and makes you feel thirsty so that you continue to hydrate during exercise. |
Some Hydro gel flavours contain caffeine: Cola - 100 mg per gel; Cherry - 51 mg; Mojito - 51 mg. |
Contains up to 150 mg of caffeine (depending on the flavour). |
Due to their mild concentration, the SiS gels are quickly and easily absorbed by the body. |
The tear-off strip makes it easy to consume the gel on the road. |
Cons
It is recommended to take the gel with a few sips of water. However, this is not required. |
The added caffeine makes the Cola, Cherry and Mojito Hydro gels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
Because of the rapid absorption this gel is less suitable for efforts which require long-burning fuel. |
