When you’re really putting in a shift – long run, big ride, or anything that leaves you gasping – you don’t just need energy. You need fuel that actually works and doesn’t taste like wallpaper paste.

 

That’s where STYRKR GEL50 steps in. Each pouch packs a solid 50g of carbs, giving you the kind of energy boost that actually lasts.

 

It’s made with natural ingredients like maltodextrin and fructose, which your body can absorb fast and use straight away. Plus, it’s got a bonus hit of L-Citrulline and L-Arginine to help you stay strong under pressure – by boosting nitric oxide and making the effort feel just that little bit easier.

 

Who it’s for:

 

Endurance athletes and long-distance adventurers who want a high-carb gel that’s fast-absorbing, gentle on the gut, and backed by effective fuel science – without caffeine.

 

What it does:

 

Delivers a full 50 g of fast-digesting carbohydrates using dual transportable sugars (maltodextrin & fructose) plus nitric-oxide precursors (L‑Citrulline, L‑Arginine) to support oxygen delivery and reduce fatigue.

 

How I would use it:

 

Take one gel about 10-15 minutes before exercise or every 45 minutes during prolonged activity. Drink alongside water to ensure proper absorption and avoid gastric upset. Ideal for rides, races, or hard sessions.

 

 

 

The Science:

 

Effects of Energy Gel Ingestion on Blood Glucose, Lactate, and Performance During Prolonged Cycling

 

Study: A randomised controlled trial in trained cyclists comparing regular energy gel intake (every 30-45 min) versus no gel over a 2-hour session followed by a timed trial. Measures included blood glucose, blood lactate, and time-trial output.

 

International Journal of Disability, Sports & Health Sciences (Ulusoy & Koçak) (2023)

Frequent gel ingestion significantly increased blood glucose and improved time-trial distance compared to no intake, indicating a meaningful performance edge. This supports GEL50’s strategy – delivering 50 g dual-carb energy at critical intervals for optimal endurance fuelling.

 

 

 

Does Carbohydrate Intake During Endurance Running Improve Performance? A Critical Review and Meta‑Analysis

 

Study: A meta-analysis reviewing nearly 90 studies comparing carbohydrate-fed conditions (gels, drinks, solid foods) versus water/placebo during prolonged endurance exercise, focusing on performance outcome effect sizes.

 

Sports Science Review (Bourdas & Souglis) (2021)

Carbohydrate feeding during sustained exercise enhanced performance in 89% of trials, with a moderate effect size (SMD ≈0.43). Highlights that fuel strategy – not just product type – is critical, and supports GEL50’s dual-carb dosing to sustain energy in long efforts.
