truefuels Gel delivers 40 grams of carbohydrates paired with an innovative 0.25 or 1 g salt and electrolyte blend, developed to meet the real fuelling demands of endurance athletes.

The 1:1 glucose–fructose ratio enables efficient carbohydrate uptake through multiple transport pathways, supporting high intake rates without overwhelming the gut.

Neutral in taste, easy to tolerate, and designed for consistent energy delivery — from long training sessions to race day.

Each ingredient is selected for function, absorption, and tolerance — nothing more, nothing less.

Maltodextrin & Fructose
to support dual-path carbohydrate absorption
Himalayan Salt
for a naturally balanced sodium source
Coconut Water Powder
for a natural electrolyte profile
Tri Magnesium Citrate
for bioavailable magnesium
Minimal preservation for product stability

1. Neutral taste. No flavour fatigue

A lightly sweet, neutral profile designed for long sessions and repeated intake without sensory overload.

2. Built for gut comfort

Refined, minimal composition developed for high carbohydrate usage while remaining gentle on the digestive system.

3. Maximum carbohydrate absorption

The 1:1 glucose–fructose ratio supports efficient uptake and helps sustain higher carb intakes when intensity and duration increase.

4. Stackable fuelling concept

Designed to integrate seamlessly with electrolytes and other TrueFuels products — allowing you to tailor energy and hydration independently.

5. Steady energy delivery

Developed from real-world endurance experience and informed by leading sports science to support consistent energy availability over time.

Fuel needs change with intensity, duration, and conditions.

The truefuels system allows you to separate energy from hydration and adjust both precisely.

This gel is designed for endurance athletes who need reliable energy at higher intake rates

.

Ideal for:

Runners, cyclists, and triathletes
Training sessions and races lasting
60 minutes or more
Athletes aiming for
60–120 g of carbohydrates per hour
Anyone looking to fuel
without flavour fatigue or GI distress

Whether you’re building base endurance or racing at the limit, this gel is built to support consistent energy delivery when it matters most.

Gel 40/0.25

Use in cool or moderate conditions, shorter sessions, or when sweat losses are lower.

Gel 40/1

Use in warm conditions, long sessions, or when sweat and sodium losses are high. It helps maintain fluid balance and supports sustained performance when demands increase.

Combination strategy

Mix both gels to individualise intake, e.g. 2×40/0.25 + 1×40/1 per hour for high intensity with moderate salt loss.

Most energy gels focus on flavour or marketing claims.

This formula is built around how the body actually absorbs and uses carbohydrates.

40 g of carbohydrates
per gel to meet real endurance demands
1:1 glucose–fructose ratio
to support efficient absorption via multiple transport pathways
Neutral flavour
to enable repeated use without sensory overload
1 g salt (~400 mg sodium)
to support hydration alongside energy delivery

Every element serves a purpose — nothing added for taste alone, nothing removed for cost.

Science Corner: Why Electrolytes Matter in Endurance Performance

When we discuss electrolytes in endurance sports, we typically mean sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. They are more than just “salts.” They’re essential minerals that keep your muscles firing...

Our energy gel is crafted with a precise blend of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and hydration agents that work in harmony to:

Fuel your muscles:
Quick-acting carbohydrates provide immediate energy when needed.
Enhance hydration:
Essential electrolytes maintain fluid balance.
Support recovery:
A balanced formulation helps replenish glycogen and aids in post-exercise recovery.
Steady release system:
Endorsed by leading sports scientists, our gel delivers a continuous release of energy for sustained performance.

Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for your body, especially during high-intensity exercise.

Here’s why they are essential for peak performance:

Your immediate Energy Source is
blood glucose, which your muscles rapidly use to provide the energy needed.
Glycogen Storage:
Glucose is stored in your muscles and liver as glycogen. These glycogen stores act as a readily available reserve that your body taps into during prolonged or intense exercise, helping to delay fatigue.
Enhanced Endurance:
Maintaining adequate carbohydrate levels ensures your muscles have the sustained energy required to perform at high intensities for longer durations. This is critical for endurance events where constant energy delivery is key.
Optimal Brain Function:
Carbohydrates also fuel your brain, supporting cognitive functions such as focus, coordination, and decision-making, which are crucial during competitive performance.
Efficient Recovery:
Consuming carbohydrates before, during, and after exercise helps replenish glycogen stores, accelerating recovery and preparing for subsequent training sessions or competitions.

Water:
Filtered and purified for essential hydration.
Maltodextrin:
A long chain of glucose molecules rapidly broken down and absorbed (via SGLT1) for immediate energy.
Fructose:
A natural sugar from fruit, absorbed via GLUT5, which complements maltodextrin and supports liver glycogen restoration.
Coconut Water Powder:
Provides electrolytes and essential vitamins/minerals for hydration and overall health.
Himalayan Salt:
Supplies essential sodium to maintain fluid balance during exercise.
Tri Magnesium Citrate:
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium in a triple citrate formulation, offering enhanced solubility and absorption to help prevent cramps and support overall performance.
Potassium Sorbate:
An antimicrobial agent that extends shelf life by preventing mold, yeast, and bacteria.

The performance gel results from a unique collaboration between top athletes and experts. It was co-designed by Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee and Nigel Mitchell, alongside renowned academics and a network of dedicated co-creators. With decades of experience, the latest research, extensive lab work, and rigorous field testing, we’ve crafted the ultimate performance gel to fuel your endurance and elevate your game.

Sodium is essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. It helps prevent cramps and fatigue, making it a key component in any performance nutrition plan.
