FAQs

Are Dextro Energy Energy Gums suitable for all athletes?

These gums are specifically designed for active people requiring quick carbohydrate replenishment during and after sports. While vegan, the high carbohydrate content is primarily for fueling athletic performance.

How many carbohydrates are in one serving?

Each serving of 6 gums (45g) contains 32g of quickly available carbohydrates.

Can I eat these gums if I am not exercising?

While they provide energy, they are formulated for sports nutrition. For general consumption, a balanced diet is recommended. Their high carbohydrate content may not be suitable for a sedentary lifestyle.

What is the benefit of the sodium in Cherry Energy Gums?

Sodium is an electrolyte that is lost through sweat. Including sodium helps to replace these lost electrolytes, aiding in hydration balance during prolonged physical activity.

How should I store the energy gums?

Store the energy gums in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the package is tightly sealed after opening to maintain freshness.

Are there other flavors available?

Yes, Dextro Energy offers other flavors such as Orange (with Magnesium), Cola, and Blackcurrant (with Caffeine).

What is the difference between these gums and energy gels?

Energy gums provide carbohydrates in a chewy, non-sticky format, which is a preference for some individuals over the liquid consistency of energy gels.

Troubleshooting

Gums are too hard or stale.

Ensure the package is properly sealed after opening and store in a cool, dry place. If the product has exceeded its expiry date, discard and purchase a fresh pack.

Experiencing digestive discomfort.

Start with a smaller portion or ensure adequate hydration when consuming. Individual tolerance to carbohydrates can vary. Consult a sports nutritionist if discomfort persists.

Product packaging is difficult to open during activity.

Practice opening the package before your event to familiarize yourself with the mechanism. Some users find it easier to open the pack slightly before they anticipate needing it.
