Take 1 to 2 energy gels with 65 mg of caffeine per hour of intense exercise.
Warning! High caffeine content! Not suitable for children and nursing mothers! To build up tolerance, start with 2 energy gels per workout. Do not exceed the daily dose of 5 energy gels with 65 mg of caffeine!
Take 1 energy gel with 130 mg of caffeine per hour of intense exercise.
Warning! High caffeine content! Not suitable for children and nursing mothers! To build up tolerance, start with 1 energy gel per workout. Do not exceed the daily dose of 3 energy gels with 130 mg of caffeine!
Nrgy Unit Gel with Caffeine has all the features of a regular Nrgy Unit Gel but offers an extra boost with a dose of caffeine.
It packs 65 or 130 milligrams of caffeine per gel, allowing you to maintain the appropriate concentration of caffeine in your blood for optimal performance (check the Nduranz Caffeine Ingestion Protocol for more information).
Nrgy Unit Gel with Caffeine is designed to provide optimal fueling during intense exercise based on the latest research in the field of sports nutrition. Each gel contains 45 grams of carbohydrates in the optimal Nduranz Carbohydrate Ratio of 1:0.8, which enables high absorption without digestive issues.
The Nduranz Electrolyte Mix provides optimal hydration by replacing only what you actually lose in your sweat. This way you preserve the delicate balance of electrolytes in your blood and avoid digestive issues.
Evidence
When comparing a gel, a drink, and a bar of similar carbohydrate content, it was found that the gel is likely the best option for both the digestive system comfort as well as performance. ↪️ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27997257/
This study investigated varying doses of carbohydrates ingested in moderately-trained individuals on performance outcomes and found that 40 grams per hour are the minimal amount of carbohydrates that are required for improving performance. This is approximately the amount of 1 Nrgy Unit. ↪️ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29301367/
It is a common question - is it better to ingest carbohydrates more frequently but in smaller quantities or less frequently and in bigger boluses? Researchers from Loughborough University tried to answer this question and found that less frequent feedings produced better results. This is one of the reasons why one Nrgy Unit packs so much punch - not only it is more time-efficient to take two rather than three energy gels per hour, it is also more effective. ↪️ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32168107/
