Maximum Performance - Without Compromise

CARBO HYDROGEL is the next generation of energy gels. It provides 30 g of pure energy – with no need to drink anything afterwards! Developed for the toughest races and the highest demands – tested and proven in the legendary CAPE EPIC. Available in two flavours:

• Neutral – for high tolerance
• Mint – for a cool, refreshing effect in hot conditions

CARBO FUEL in convenient single-dose sachets makes a sports drink with 80 g of carbohydrates in an optimal glucose:fructose ratio of 1:0.8 for maximum energy intake. Suitable for 120+ g of carbs per hour. Acid-free and with a neutral taste, for optimum tolerance even during peak performance. With 250 mg sodium for optimal electrolyte supply.

Carb Ratio

The carb ratio describes the ratio of glucose to fructose in a sports drink or gel. All sources, such as sucrose, maltodextrin, isomaltulose, trehalose, etc., are taken into account. Both types of sugar are absorbed in the intestine via different transport mechanisms. Glucose uses the sodium-dependent SGLT1 transporter, while fructose is absorbed via GLUT5. The advantage: if both pathways are used in parallel (e.g. in a ratio of 2:1 or 1:0.8), the body can absorb significantly more energy per hour without overloading the gut.

When does a 1:0.8 ratio make sense?

The answer depends primarily on the total amount consumed per unit of time, as well as duration and individual tolerance. During very long or intense sessions, where more than 80 g of carbohydrates per hour need to be consumed, glucose alone quickly reaches its absorption limit (approx. 60 g/h). Only by adding fructose can this limit be extended to 100–120+ g/h. A ratio of 1:0.8 glucose to fructose is recommended: • for competitions lasting more than 2 hours, • for training rides lasting several hours, • for high performance goals and generally high energy requirements, and • for athletes with high training loads who follow the «fuel for the work required» strategy.
