Three disciplines. One fuelling
system. Zero compromises.
Triathlon nutrition has to survive the bike and still work
on the run. The truefuels system is built for that transition.

60–90% of endurance athletes underfuel.
The wall, cramp and overheating are fuelling failures — not fitness failures.
Hitting the Wall
The Ironman bike leg is 180km of glycogen expenditure. Athletes who under-fuel on the bike are walking the run — not because their fitness failed, but because their fuelling did.
Energy Gels
40g of fast carbohydrates per gel — start at 30–40g carbs/hr in training, build 10–15g per week, arrive at race day absorbing 80–90g/hr.
Shop NowCramps
Cramping on the run almost always starts on the bike. Sustained sweat loss over 4–6 hours depletes sodium and potassium faster than most athletes replace — by the time you feel it, the deficit has been building for hours.
Electrolytes
390mg of sodium per sachet — matched to what your body actually loses in sweat, not inflated. Your hydration stays on track, from T1 to the finish line.
Shop NowHeat
Ironman and 70.3 events in warm climates mean core temperature is a performance variable from T1. Three disciplines in the heat — it compounds with every transition.
CoreCtrl
4,000mg of L-Taurine per sachet — taken daily for 8 days before your event to help your body handle heat under load. Stay in control when the conditions turn against you.
