Energy that makes physiological sense
An energy gel has one purpose:
To quickly replenish usable carbohydrates during exercise. Muscles contain approximately 500-800 g of glycogen, and the liver contains another 80-100 g. During intense endurance exercise, these reserves are quickly depleted. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously replenish energy to prevent a drop in performance or hypoglycemia.
Our gel is designed to provide quickly available energy without unnecessary additives and allow athletes to maintain their pace even during long-duration performance.
Why is a 2:1 ratio crucial for endurance performance?
Glucose intake in the intestine is limited by the transporter SGLT1, which can transport approximately 60 g of glucose per hour.
However, this is not enough for most endurance athletes.
Therefore, fructose is added, which uses a different transporter – GLUT5.
This combination of carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio allows increasing intake to up to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour.
This ratio is currently considered the most universal and practical for endurance performance.
Most gels are about marketing. We are about physiology.
Today, there are three main types of energy gels on the market:
- "Natural" gels based on rice syrup, honey, or maple syrup. While these appear clean label, they often lack a controlled glucose-to-fructose ratio, which limits the amount of energy the body can absorb during performance.
- Functional gels with the correct carbohydrate ratio, which allow for high energy intake but often contain preservatives or stabilizing additives.
- Gels based on slow-digesting carbohydrates, which promise "long-lasting energy" but increase the risk of digestive issues during competitive performance and do not provide energy immediately when the body needs it.
Why is hyve energy gel unique?
A nutritionally correct 2:1 glucose : fructose ratio for an intake of up to 90g of carbohydrates per hour, combined with a clean label formulation without artificial preservatives, flavorings, and colorings.
