As such, it is important that \u003cstrong\u003ecarbohydrate stores are maximised\u003c\/strong\u003e before endurance exercise and that during prolonged exercise where this stores are depleted, \u003cstrong\u003eadditional carbohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e is consumed to \u003cstrong\u003emaintain performance and avoid fatigue\u003c\/strong\u003e. Consuming carbohydrates will help to \u003cstrong\u003emaintain blood glucose\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ereplenish muscle glycogen\u003c\/strong\u003e. If no carbohydrates are consumed, muscle glycogen will be depleted after approx. 90 minutes of exercise and severe fatigue may occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amount of carbohydrate that you should take on during exercise will depend on the length of your training or competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e\u0026lt; 1h\u003c\/strong\u003e:not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e1-2h\u003c\/strong\u003e:30g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~1 energy gel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e2-3h\u003c\/strong\u003e:60g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~2 energy gels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e\u0026gt;2.5-3h\u003c\/strong\u003e:up to 90g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~up to 3 energy gels)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ginseng \u0026 Guarana Energy Gelcontains a \u003cstrong\u003eunique sugar mixture\u003c\/strong\u003e that consists of high-speed sugars (glucose and maltose), semi-slow sugars (sucrose) and slow sugars (complex sugars). This means that the \u003cstrong\u003e\"triple action effect\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (three-phase sugars) provides \u003cstrong\u003equick\u003c\/strong\u003e carb-loading, yet still provides energy over a \u003cstrong\u003elong period of time\u003c\/strong\u003e (see figure). Moreover, glucose and fructose use different transport systems when they are absorbed into the body. This means that in total more carbohydrate can simultaneously enter the blood stream when glucose and fructose are consumed together in comparison to when only one of the two sugars is consumed (Jentjens et al., 2004)1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Energy Gel is a \u003cstrong\u003ehighly concentrated\u003c\/strong\u003e form of sugars meaning it contains \u003cstrong\u003elarge amounts of fuel\u003c\/strong\u003e. To get the same amount of carbohydrates from an energy drink you would have to drink large amounts of fluid which would increase the likelihood of GI distress. It also contains no added nutrients such as protein or fat which can slow the emptying of the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only that, but the Ginseng \u0026 Guarana Energy Gelis ideal for those \u003cstrong\u003epeak moments\u003c\/strong\u003e when it really matters!

Guarana is a berry that contains high concentrations of \u003cstrong\u003enaturalcaffeine\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Therefore it is ideal to consume immediately before or during prolonged endurance events such as cycle sportives, triathlons and marathons. The added caffeine from guarana makes it particularly suitable for situations within these events where you need an extra boost i.e. a hill climb or a sprint finish. Furthermore, it may also be useful for team sport athletes to consume during rest periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Etixx","offers":[{"title":"Etixx Ginseng\u0026guarana Energy Gel Passion Fruit 12x50g","offer_id":39702771171508,"sku":"3402351","price":53.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/9445\/0356\/files\/3d1a55561f0fea01f1f480c076ac9fa2_67a4168a-72b6-474d-828f-65e9f59dbbb7.jpg?v=1777334630","url":"https:\/\/shop.farmaxx.be\/en\/products\/etixx-ginseng-guarana-energy-gel-passion-fruit-12x50g","provider":"Farmaxx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
