Amacx Gel Pack
Get a taste of the two high performance gels on tap from Amacx.
Drink Gel:
These "drinkable gels" strike a perfect balance, delivering a substantial energy boost while being as easy to consume as fluid. That is because it already has water added, making it akin a very liquidy gel.
This gel provides 30g of carbs and 200mg of sodium through multiple carbohydrate sources (using a 2:1 carbohydrate ratio), making them an excellent option for enhanced fueling during workouts. This European brand also offers a range of refreshing flavors, breaking the monotony of typical gel options.
Turbo Gel:
The Turbo Gel is a "beefed up" version of the Drink Gel, packing a whopping 40g of carbs and 200mg of sodium per 60ml serving.
Similar to the Amacx Energy Drink Gel, this gel is something of a happy medium when it comes to delivering an impactful amount of energy, while still allowing water to be absorbed relatively quickly.
The Amacx Turbo Gel is inline with some of the more progressive gels we’re seeing come to market – making fueling simple and less product-intensive. It comes in a 1:0.8 carb ratio allowing you to reach high fueling amounts. All you need is 2 of these for a full 80g fueling plan!
Which drinkable energy gel do you need?
They can be used well interchangeably depending on your needs and fueling strategy, but there are some differences.
Both use maltodextrin and fructose as a carbohydrate source to support performance, the difference lies in the ratio between the two types. The Drink Gel is a ready-to-use energy gel to which water has already been added. This gel contains the different carbohydrate sources with a 2:1 carbohydrate ratio (glucose - fructose) for a gradual energy release.
The Turbo Gel contains the same carbohydrate sources, but with a different ratio: 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio. This type of energy gel is perfectly suited for those sports moments when you demand a lot from your body. Also, it comes in a caffeinated option which provides a 100mg dose of high performance caffeine.
