This is as simple as it gets, and that’s not a bad thing.

No fancy blends, no overcomplication, just a straightforward hit of carbohydrate in a format that’s easy to use.

 

The flavours are light and refreshing and most definitely not overpowering.

 

Who it’s for:

 

Endurance athletes who don’t like gels.

Runners and cyclists wanting something easy to chew.

Anyone needing quick, accessible energy during training.

Athletes who prefer simpler ingredient profiles.

 

What it does:

 

Provides 30g of fast-acting carbohydrate per packet.

Helps maintain energy levels during training or racing.

 

Offers an alternative to gels and drinks.

Gives a simple, predictable fuelling option.

 

How I’d use it:

 

I’d use these during sessions where you need a quick top-up of energy, similar to how you’d use a gel.

 

They’re particularly useful when you want something different from gels, or if you struggle with liquid fuelling.

 

Simple product, does exactly what it says on the tin!

 

 

 

The Science:

 

Oxidation of combined ingestion of glucose and fructose during exercise

 

Study: Investigated whether combining glucose and fructose increases carbohydrate oxidation compared to glucose alone during endurance exercise.

 

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004

Co-ingestion of glucose and fructose significantly increased carbohydrate oxidation compared to glucose alone, supporting improved fuel delivery during prolonged exercise.

 

 

High rates of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation from a mixture of glucose and fructose ingested during prolonged cycling exercise

 

Study: Examined the effect of ingesting mixed carbohydrate sources on oxidation rates during prolonged exercise.

 

British Journal of Nutrition, 2004

Mixed carbohydrate ingestion resulted in higher carbohydrate oxidation rates than single sources, supporting improved energy availability during endurance performance.
