Isotonic Energy Gel Fruit Burst
Applied Nutrition
Overview
This isotonic energy gel is formulated to deliver quick energy and electrolytes during exercise. The primary carbohydrate source, maltodextrin, is rapidly digested and absorbed, effectively providing glucose to working muscles. The inclusion of electrolytes like magnesium and sodium chloride is beneficial for hydration and muscle function. While effective for its intended purpose, the amount of magnesium per serving may not be sufficient to fully combat significant deficiencies during intense, prolonged activity.
The Good
Provides rapid and easily digestible energy during exercise to maintain performance.
Isotonic formulation means it can be consumed without additional water, enhancing convenience.
Contains essential electrolytes (magnesium, sodium) to aid hydration and prevent muscle cramps.
The Bad
Relies solely on maltodextrin for carbohydrates, lacking a multi-carbohydrate blend (e.g., glucose, fructose) which can enhance absorption rates at higher intake levels.
Contains artificial sweetener (Sucralose), which some users prefer to avoid.
Magnesium content, while present, might not fully meet the needs of all highly active individuals experiencing significant electrolyte loss.
