Huma Ultra contains 40g of carbohydrates versus 21-23g in Original Huma gels, making it specifically formulated for ultra-endurance events like ultramarathons, century rides, and Ironman races where you need maximum carbs per serving.

No. Huma Ultra uses real food ingredients (sweet potato, apple, coconut) that your digestive system easily recognizes and processes, even under exercise stress. Synthetic ingredients in traditional gels are harder to digest when blood flow is diverted to working muscles.

Huma Ultra combines both simple carbs (for quick energy) and complex carbs (for sustained release) from natural sources. This provides immediate fuel plus long-lasting energy without the crash you get from single-source sugar gels.

Chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids and fiber that help stabilize energy release and support sustained endurance performance. They've been used by distance runners for centuries.
