The importance and benefits of sports gels
Sports gels are nutritional supplements designed to provide a fast and efficient source of carbohydrates and electrolytes during exercise. Their formulation and fluid consistency allow for rapid absorption, ensuring a constant energy supply and preventing fatigue. They are particularly popular with runners, cyclists, triathletes, and other endurance athletes.
During a race, it can be beneficial to vary the textures of the products consumed, by combining liquid (sports drink), gels, and solids (bars or other products). This allows for variety, avoiding nausea and providing as much as possible the nutrients used during exercise to delay the depletion of our reserves (the energy dips).
Sports gels allow for easy and rapid energy intake. They are easy to digest since they require no chewing or digestion.
Why choose our gel dedicated to athletes?
Since its launch in 2021, BOOST GEL, our gel dedicated to athletes, has been ranked among the best in the annual comparison conducted by Nicolas Aubineau, an independent sports dietitian and nutritionist.
An optimal composition
Authentic Nutrition gels are formulated with ingredients carefully selected for their nutritional quality. They contain an optimal blend of complex (maltodextrin) and simple carbohydrates to ensure a more consistent intake and fewer large carbohydrate fluctuations, thus avoiding blood sugar spikes and reactive hypoglycemia.
In addition to carbohydrates, they also provide essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, as well as antioxidants to combat oxidative stress induced by intense exercise.
An eco-friendly solution
One of the main advantages of our energy gels lies in their innovative packaging. Unlike traditional gels, which are often packaged in disposable plastic bags, our gels are offered in recyclable glass bottles. They are designed to be used with a refillable and reusable soft flask. This significantly reduces plastic waste, a major concern for our planet. By choosing our gels, you are making an eco-friendly and sustainable choice.
Filling your flask with our gel is quick and easy, and you can adjust the quantity according to your specific needs. A soft flask can hold 3 to 4 doses of energy gel.
Energy gummies: a practical and fun alternative
In addition to our energy gels, we offer energy gummies, an equally effective and even more practical alternative for some athletes. Easy to carry and consume, energy gummies offer the same nutritional benefits as gels but in a solid form. Here are their main advantages:
• Ease of use: Unlike gels, gummies don't require a flask or bottle. They slip easily into a pocket or bag and can be consumed without prior preparation.
• Melting and comforting texture: These small, soft bites, reminiscent of the texture and shape of childhood candies, will bring you comfort when you're feeling low and feeling down.
• Precise dosage: Each gummy contains a precise dose of energy, allowing easy control of calorie and electrolyte intake.
• Variety of Flavors: Our energy gummies are available in two flavors (apple and strawberry) for a delicious taste experience throughout your workout.
How to use our sports energy gels and gummies?
Here are some tips for getting the most out of our sports energy gels and gummies.
Before Exercise
It is recommended to consume one energy gel or a few gummies approximately 15 minutes before starting exercise. This maximizes glycogen stores and ensures energy availability from the first minutes of activity.
During Exercise
Regular consumption of energy gels or gummies during exercise is crucial to maintain a constant energy level. For long-term efforts (over 90 minutes), it is recommended to consume one gel or a few gummies every 45 minutes to an hour. Remember to stay well hydrated.
After Exercise
Although our gels and gummies are primarily intended for use during exercise, they can also be used immediately after exercise to help replenish glycogen stores and promote recovery.
