Energy Gel

Technical energy gels with amino acids and electrolytes. Versions with and without caffeine

• Carbohydrate blend in a 2:1:1 ratio (Maltodextrin:Dextrose:Fructose)
• With added branched-chain amino acids, arginine and taurine
• With minerals from bioavailable sources
• Liquid texture with outstanding flavor and digestibility
• Suitable for vegans and allergen-free

Our energy gels contain an ideal blend of three carbohydrates (Maltodextrin, Dextrose and Fructose) in a 2:1:1 ratio. This combination improves athletic performance and, during long exercise (>2.5 h), allows greater carbohydrate absorption and oxidation above 60 g/h (Currell, K., 2008). In addition, consuming carbohydrates during exercise helps reduce the immunosuppressive effects of intense exertion (Nieman, D.C., 1998).

We have also added:

Minerals

The electrolytes in these energy gels, including sodium (110 mg per gel), potassium and magnesium, help maintain hydration and prevent muscle cramps during physical activity (EFSA, 2011). Magnesium in citrate form and the other minerals are highly bioavailable to ensure rapid absorption and effective support for performance and muscle recovery.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)

Taking amino acids with carbohydrates during training reduces muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., 2008). Branched-chain amino acids are also oxidized in muscle and used for energy, thereby preserving glycogen. Their intake during exercise also helps reduce Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by reducing serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to tiredness and mood (Kerksick, C.M. et al., 2018).

Arginine

In addition to being a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO), this amino acid reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity. Because it is a glucogenic amino acid, muscle can also use it as an additional energy source. (Energy gels - Energy Gel).

Taurine

Among other properties, it has antioxidant, metabolic and ergogenic effects (Galloway, S.D.R. et al., JAP. 2008). Taking it with the other ingredients has been shown to improve muscular endurance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R. et al., JCSR. 2008). It stabilizes cell membranes and helps potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium pass through them (Bouckenooghe, T. et al., CNMC. 2006). (Energy gels - Energy Gel).

Caffeine and Guarana

The versions with 64 mg of caffeine, in pure form and from Guarana, improve performance in endurance and strength sports (Grgic, J., 2019). Caffeine activates the central nervous system, delays fatigue and optimizes the use of glycogen and fat. It also improves muscle contraction, with particular effectiveness once fatigue begins (Lopes, J.M., 1983). Ideal for enhancing training and competition.

And, like all Crown Sport Nutrition® products, they offer outstanding flavor and digestibility.
