226ERS High Fructose Gel Caffeine (80g) - Cherry

  

High Fructose Gel provides 55 g of carbohydrates and 250 mg of sodium per gel, from maltodextrin and fructose, in a 10:8 ratio.

This formula is based on “multiple transportable carbohydrates”; studies* have also demonstrated that, during prolonged exercise, consuming carbohydrates absorbed in the intestine by various transporters is the only way to increase the absorption and oxidation rate of exogenous carbohydrates beyond 60 g/hour.*

To this end, research confirms that the ideal approach is to combine different sources of carbohydrates. For our part, we have chosen maltodextrin, which allows molecular weight/osmolarity to be controlled, on the one hand, and fructose, of course, on the other.

MALTODEXTRIN: 

• It is absorbed in the intestine by the SLGT1 cotransporter and is converted into glucose to enter the cells and provide them with energy more quickly.
• Maltodextrin has a high glycemic index, allowing blood glucose to rise rapidly and releasing energy instantaneously.
• Rapid gastric emptying due to a high molecular weight and low osmolarity, which promotes digestion and reduces gastrointestinal side effects.

FRUCTOSE: 

• It is absorbed in the intestine with the help of GLUT5 transporters, which differ from those that absorb other carbohydrates. The absorbed fructose travels from the intestine to the liver through GLUT2 transporters and replenishes the hepatic glycogen stores depleted during intense physical exercise.
• This results in increasing absorption, releasing energy constantly and progressively.

This is why combining the two, maltodextrin and fructose, allows a high amount of carbohydrates per hour to be digested and absorbed while minimizing potential gastric problems.
