Description
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 assimilable sources
- Liquid texture with incredible 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 enhances athletic performance and, during prolonged exercise (less than >to 2.5 hours), allows for greater carbohydrate assimilation and oxidation, exceeding 60 g/h (Currell, K., 2008). Furthermore, consuming carbohydrates during exercise helps reduce the immunosuppressive effects of intense exertion (Nieman, D.C., 1998).
We have also incorporated:
Minerals
The electrolytes in these energy gels, such as 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 other minerals are highly bioavailable to ensure rapid absorption and effective support for muscle performance and recovery.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)
The intake of amino acids along with carbohydrates during training reduces muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., 2008). Branched-chain amino acids are also oxidized in the muscle, used as energy and thus preserving glycogen. Furthermore, their consumption during exercise helps reduce Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by lowering serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to tiredness and mood (Kerksick, C.M. et al., 2018).
Arginine
This amino acid, in addition to being a precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO), reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity. Furthermore, as a glucogenic amino acid, it can be used by muscles as an extra source of energy (Energy Gels).
Taurine
Among other effects, it has antioxidant, metabolic, and ergogenic properties (Galloway, S.D.R. et al., JAP. 2008). Its intake, along with other ingredients, has been shown to improve muscle endurance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R. et al., JCSR. 2008). It stabilizes cell membranes, facilitating the passage of potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium through them (Bouckenooghe, T. et al., CNMC. 2006). (Energy Gels).
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 fats. Furthermore, it improves muscle contraction, especially effective when fatigue sets in (Lopes, J.M., 1983). Ideal for boosting your training and competitions.
And like all Crown Sport Nutrition® products, it has a spectacular taste and digestibility.
