Carbohydrate Plus energy gel provides a portable source of fast-absorbing carbohydrate for prolonged or intense exercise. Runners and cyclists often use gels because they are easier to carry and consume on the move than ordinary snacks.
Take Carbohydrate Plus energy gel during a long run when you need carbohydrate intake, rather than waiting until you feel completely depleted. For a short, easy run, most people do not need an energy gel.
Water is a good choice with Carbohydrate Plus energy gel because it helps you swallow the concentrated gel. The gel itself does not replace fluids or the electrolytes lost through sweating.
Yes, Carbohydrate Plus energy gel can be taken before a workout, particularly ahead of a long or demanding session. Try the timing during training first, since taking it too close to exercise may not suit everyone’s stomach.
There is no single marathon gel count that suits everyone: the number of Carbohydrate Plus energy gels depends on race duration, other carbohydrate sources, and your tolerance. Practise your fueling plan in training and follow the pack’s directions.
Yes, Carbohydrate Plus energy gel can cause stomach discomfort in some people, especially if they take it quickly or try it for the first time during a race. Test it during training and take it with water.
Yes, Carbohydrate Plus energy gel works for cycling as well as running, particularly on long rides when carrying ordinary food is inconvenient. Open and consume the sachet when you can do so safely, not while handling a difficult section.
The name Carbohydrate Plus energy gel alone does not establish whether it contains caffeine; energy gel formulas vary. Check the ingredient list for caffeine if you want to avoid it or are tracking your intake.
Carbohydrate Plus energy gel is a compact carbohydrate source, while a sports drink also provides fluid and may contain electrolytes. A gel is easier to carry; it still needs to be paired with appropriate hydration.
Yes, you can take Carbohydrate Plus energy gel without exercising, but it is designed as a convenient carbohydrate source for sustained or intense activity. For everyday hunger, a regular snack may be more satisfying.

Times are calculated with the MET equation for a 70 kg adult. Actual burn varies with your weight, age and pace.
Carbohydrate Plus energy gel is a concentrated sports-fuel product sold in a small, ready-to-use packet. It is made to provide carbohydrates during endurance activity rather than to serve as an everyday snack, and it is not tied to a particular regional cuisine.
Energy gels are typically sweet and thick, with a texture designed to be swallowed quickly while moving. Runners, cyclists and other endurance athletes may take one during a long session or race; having water alongside can make it easier to take. It is generally used as a convenient source of fuel, not as a meal or a breakfast food.
Its nutritional profile is almost entirely carbohydrate, with no protein, fat or fibre, so it supplies little variety on its own. It can suit prolonged exercise when portable fuel is useful; for ordinary meals, pair it with foods that provide protein and other nutrients.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
