The 226ers High Fructose Gel 80g is an energy gel formulated with maltodextrin and fructose in a 10:8 ratio, providing 55g of carbohydrates and 220 kcal per gel, as well as 250 mg of sodium. It is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and available in three flavors.
High Fructose Gel bears the Cologne List seal; it is the world’s first and largest anti-doping platform for nutritional supplements.
The Cologne List only includes products that have undergone rigorous testing—through laboratory analysis and label verification—to ensure that manufacturers do not use any prohibited substances listed by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) in their products.
The 226ers High Fructose Gel (80 g ) provides 55 g of carbohydrates and 250 mg of sodium per gel, derived from maltodextrin and fructose in a 10:8 ratio.
This Formula, based on “multi-transporter carbohydrates,” has been demonstrated in studies* to show that during prolonged exercise, the use of carbohydrates absorbed in the intestine via different transporters is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g/hour*.
Research confirms that the ideal approach is to combine different sources of carbohydrates. We have chosen maltodextrin to control the molecular weight and osmolarity, and the other source must be fructose.
MALTODEXTRIN:
It is absorbed in the intestine via the SLGT-1 transporter and converted into glucose, which is then transported to the cells to provide them with rapid energy.
It has a high glycemic index, causing a rapid rise in blood glucose and an instant release of energy.
It promotes rapid gastric emptying due to its high molecular weight and low osmolarity, aiding digestion and reducing gastrointestinal side effects.
FRUCTOSE:
It is absorbed in the intestine via GLUT5 transporters—which are different from those used to absorb other carbohydrates. The absorbed fructose is transported from the intestine to the liver via GLUT2 transporters, where it replenishes liver glycogen stores depleted during intense physical exercise.
This results in gradual absorption with a constant and progressive release of energy.
This is why the combination of maltodextrin and fructose allows for the digestion and assimilation of a high amount of carbohydrates per hour while minimizing the risk of gastric problems.
High Fructose Gel is available in 80g sticks and six flavors:
The Cola flavor contains 100 mg of caffeine.
