KODA Energy Gel is carbohydrate food in liquid/gel form. It is designed to provide a large amount of calories in a small volume to fuel the brain and active muscles. It is formulated to have a low thermic effect and be gentle on the stomach even at high heart rate. Each ingredient has been carefully selected to have a low sensory impact, which is a very important feature especially when our senses are heightened when heart rate is elevated.
Given every athlete has specific energy requirements it's difficult to
recommend a general intake of calories. It depends on how fast you are
and how much your stomach can tolerate. As a guide take one KODA Energy Gel 10 minutes before training or your event. To access 350 calories per hour take one KODA Gel every 20 minutes. For 290 calories per hour take one KODA Gel every 25 minutes. For 234 calories per hour take one KODA Gel every 30 minutes. For 175 calories per hour take one KODA Gel every 45 minutes.
Yes it is gluten free we use corn not wheat and it is fructose free. The
main ingredient in KODA Gels is maltodextrin – carbohydrate made from
natural corn starch. It's not high fructose corn syrup! Back in 1995 we
went for a gluten free formulation long before it became a thing. The
high quality maltodextrin that we use does not contain refined, processed sugars, which is reason why it's so gentle on the stomach.
Absolutely not! The fructose that other gel manufacturers use is a heavily processed crystalline form sugar that in no way resembles the naturally occurring fructose that is found in fruit. This crystalline form sugar can cause terrible stomach complaints to those who are susceptible.
