This is the GEL. It’s a bold statement. But nonetheless true. From a technical perspective, traditional gels are water and carbohydrates simply mixed into syrups, often containing added flavours and preservatives. The GEL 100 is completely different. It’s a biopolymer matrix, filled with a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1) which enables uptakes of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour.
The GEL 100 is built by harnessing natural hydrogel technology and built with six natural ingredients. It doesn’t contain any colorants or preservatives and comes in 40g servings that contains 60% carbohydrates – a high weight to energy ratio.
INSTRUCTIONS Consume the gel minutes before, during and/or directly after activity.
AMOUNT OF ENERGY Studies have shown that our bodies can make use of up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Recent science has shown that the 0.8:1 fructose to glucose ratio enables even greater uptake – up to 100 grams per hour. The GEL 100 is developed by using this ratio and packs a lot of energy. One serving contains 25 grams of carbohydrates.
HOW DOES IT WORK? GEL 100 is built on hydrogel technology*. The hydrogel enables a smooth transportation of the carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.

Used 2 for my longest run of trading this year. Powered a negative split with no stomach problems. Appears to be as good as claimed
Doesn’t get any better than this! It’s EXPENSIVE but if you can afford it, why not go for the best-in-class gel you can get in all of Canada. Feels like eating jello, tastes good, doesn’t cause GI distress and doesn’t need water to work - which is great during training as water isn’t always available on the road...
Definitely give this a try on you next long run!
Hydrogel is awesome. Don’t need any water to get it down. And it goes down clean.
