FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this energy gel?

The Applied Nutrition Isotonic Energy Gel provides 23g of fast-acting carbohydrates to help maintain energy levels during prolonged or intense exercise.

Is this gel suitable for diabetics?

This product is sugar-free but contains carbohydrates. Individuals with diabetes should consult their healthcare professional to determine suitability based on their specific dietary management plan.

How many gels should I consume during exercise?

It is generally recommended to consume one gel every 45-60 minutes during prolonged exercise, but individual needs may vary based on intensity and duration. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

Can I use this gel for weight training?

While it provides energy, its primary benefit is for endurance activities. For weight training, focus on a balanced pre-workout meal and protein intake post-workout.

What does 'Isotonic' mean in this context?

Isotonic means the gel has a similar concentration of dissolved particles as body fluids, allowing for efficient absorption of fluids and carbohydrates without causing significant fluid shifts in the gut.

Does this gel contain caffeine?

This specific Vimto flavour does not state it contains caffeine. Always check the product label for specific ingredients and caffeine content if that is a concern.

How should I store the gels?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.

Troubleshooting

Gel tastes unpleasant

Taste is subjective; consider trying a different flavour from the Applied Nutrition range or consuming with water to dilute the flavour.

Feeling of stomach discomfort

Ensure adequate hydration by drinking water with the gel. Reduce the frequency of consumption or consider an alternative energy source if discomfort persists.

Gel packaging is difficult to open

Use the pre-cut notch on the sachet for easier opening. If a sachet is damaged or difficult to open, do not consume its contents.
