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. |
Gives you as much energy as three bananas would! |
Fitted with an easy to close cap. No more gel on your jersey, and you don't have to consume it all in one go. |
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. |
Cons
It is recommended to take the gel with a few sips of water. However, this is not required. |
Maybe hard to digest if you drink it at once. |
The added caffeine makes the Cola, Cherry and Mojito Hydro gels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
