Product Strength

• 18 g of carbohydrates per gel: Helps supplement the athlete’s nutritional intake during exercise. The formula combines carbohydrates from maltodextrin (glucose) and fructose in a 2:1 ratio, designed to facilitate rapid intake during demanding phases.
• 200 mg of BCAAs (2:1:1) per gel: Essential amino acids that are fundamental components of muscle protein.
• Caffeinated version adapted to endurance needs: Provides 32 mg of caffeine per gel to help support effort and alertness during the most demanding phases.
• Sweet, non-acidic cola flavour: A pleasant taste that remains enjoyable even in the middle of an effort. Free from sweeteners and colourings.
• Smooth, semi-compact texture: A semi-gelled texture designed for quick setting and easy swallowing, without a pasty mouthfeel. Validated by athletes.
• Ultra-practical format: Easy opening with an attached tab to limit waste.

Expected Results & Science

• 2:1 glucose–fructose ratio: Ensures efficient carbohydrate absorption using two distinct intestinal transporters (SGLT1 for glucose and GLUT5 for fructose). This helps reach 60–90 g of carbohydrates per hour when combined with other products.
• Minerals adapted to endurance efforts: Contains essential electrolytes, including sodium (60 mg) and magnesium (72 mg), to help compensate for losses due to sweating. Magnesium contributes to maintaining electrolyte balance.
• Targeted vitamin and mineral complex: Vitamins B2, B3 (PP), B6 and magnesium contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Orange and Cola flavoured gels?
The Cola-flavoured gel contains 32 mg of caffeine per serving, while the Orange version is caffeine-free. Both share the same nutritional base: 18 g of carbohydrates, 200 mg of BCAAs, electrolytes, and a vitamin complex.

Can I alternate Cola (caffeinated) and Orange (caffeine-free) gels during the same session?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to alternate the two gels. Both versions share the same nutritional base and can be used together to vary flavours and adjust caffeine intake according to key moments of the effort.

How can I gradually train my body to tolerate a higher carbohydrate intake? (Advice from Sylvain Court, world trail running champion)
“I started very low—around 30 g per hour—then progressively increased to 60 g, 70 g, and finally 80–90 g per hour. The 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio helps optimise carbohydrate absorption while limiting the risk of digestive discomfort. I alternate between bars, gels, and energy drinks, which allows me to maintain a steady intake.”

How long does it take for a gel to “take effect”?
The gel provides rapidly available carbohydrates during exercise. Many athletes perceive its benefits within minutes of consumption, but this can vary depending on the individual, exercise intensity, and timing.
