226ERS Fructose Speculoos Energy Gel

The key points High Fructose Gel provides 55 g of carbohydrates and 250 mg of sodium per gel, coming from maltodextrin and fructose, in a ratio of 10:8. This formula is based on "multiple transportable carbohydrates"; studies* have shown that during prolonged exercise, consuming carbohydrates absorbed in the intestine through various transporters is the only way to increase the rate of absorption and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates beyond 60 g/hour.* To this end, research confirms that the ideal approach is to combine different sources of carbohydrates. On our part, we opted for maltodextrin, which allows for control over the molecular weight/osmolarity, and of course, for fructose. MALTODEXTIRN: It is absorbed in the intestine via 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 for a rapid increase in blood glucose and releasing energy instantly. Rapid gastric emptying due to a high molecular weight and low osmolarity, which aids digestion and reduces gastrointestinal side effects. FRUCTOSE: It is absorbed in the intestine using GLUT5 transporters, which are different from those that absorb other carbohydrates. The absorbed fructose travels from the intestine to the liver via GLUT2 transporters and replenishes the hepatic glycogen reserves lost during intense physical exercise. This results in a growing absorption releasing energy constantly and gradually. This is why the combination of the two, maltodextrin and fructose, allows for the digestion and assimilation of a high amount of carbohydrates per hour while minimizing potential gastric issues.
