Carbohydrates for Performance
Race Energy Gels provide 38 g of fast-acting carbohydrates, designed to be used alongside fluids to help
athletes meet their energy requirements during prolonged exercise.
For sessions lasting 1–2.5 hours, aim for 30–60 g of carbs per hour; for longer events, increase to up to 90 g per hour depending on intensity. Training with higher carb intakes can also improve gut tolerance and performance.
Carbohydrates remain one of the most well-supported performance aids in sports nutrition, proven to delay fatigue, sustain output, and support faster recovery across endurance and team sports.
Citrulline Malate
Race Energy Gels include 400 mg of citrulline malate, supporting improved blood flow, reduced fatigue, and enhanced recovery. Citrulline increases nitric oxide production promoting vasodilation and widening blood vessels to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to working muscles. The malate component supports energy production in the mitochondria, helping generate ATP, the body’s main energy molecule, to sustain performance during prolonged exercise.
Electrolyte Support
Each gel delivers 200 mg, designed to be used with electrolyte drinks or other sources to maintain hydration and performance. Sodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat and is vital for fluid balance, muscle contractions, nerve function, and glucose absorption.
Caffeine for Performance
Each caffeine gel contains 80 mg of caffeine. It sharpens alertness, supports endurance, and helps you stay switched on when the effort starts to bite. Together with L-Theanine it creates a focused, alert but controlled state that works well for both long efforts and short, intense bursts.
L-Theanine
Each caffeine gel also includes 160 mg of L-theanine. This amino acid helps smooth out caffeine’s rough edges, reducing the chances of jitters and encouraging a calm, steady focus. It’s been shown to support reaction time and cognitive performance, particularly when paired with caffeine.
