Carbohydrates for Performance
Race Energy Gel Pouch provides 100 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 a minimum of 30–60 g of carbs per hour; for longer events, increase 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 Gel Pouches include 1000 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 pouch delivers 529 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 pouch contains 211 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 pouch also includes 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.
