When you’re out there pushing your limits – whether it’s a long run, an intense bike ride, or any endurance activity – your body needs fuel that not only provides energy but also satisfies your taste buds.

That’s where the STYRKR GEL30 Dual-Carb Energy Gel comes in. Each gel delivers 30g of carbohydrates, providing a balanced energy source to keep you going strong.

I just like the simplicity and effectiveness. It’s made with all-natural ingredients, including maltodextrin and fructose, which are quickly absorbed by the body. The nice addition of L-Citrulline and L-Arginine helps enhance performance by increasing nitric oxide levels, allowing you to maintain effort with less perceived exertion.

Who it’s for:

Endurance athletes – cyclists, runners, triathletes – who want fast, solid carbohydrate fuel without added caffeine. Ideal for pre or intra‑exercise use when stomach comfort matters.

What it does:

Gives 30g of quick-absorbing carbs using dual‑transportable maltodextrin + fructose (1 : 0.8), plus nitric‑oxide supporting ingredients (L‑Arginine, L‑Citrulline) to sustain energy and minimise fatigue.

How I’d use it:

Take one gel 10-15 minutes before exercise or every 45-60 minutes during activity, sipping water to support absorption and digestion. Great when you want clean, simple fuel without stimulants.

The Science:

Fructose Co‑ingestion Improves Endurance Exercise Performance Compared to Glucose Alone

Study: A research review investigating endurance outcomes from consuming a mix of glucose and fructose vs glucose-only during exercise.

Combining glucose and fructose enables higher carbohydrate absorption rates and improved endurance performance, with reduced GI discomfort compared to single-source fuels – supporting GEL30’s 1 : 0.8 dual-carb formulation for efficient energy delivery.

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

Study: Randomised controlled trial where athletes consumed carbohydrate gel (every 30 or 45 min) versus no gel during a 2-hour ride, followed by a 15-minute time trial; measured blood glucose, lactate, and performance metrics.

Regular ingestion of energy gel’s during prolonged exercise elevated blood glucose and significantly improved performance compared to no gel intake – showing that solid energy gels like GEL30 offer real performance benefits when used on the move.
