Energy gels that combine simple and complex carbohydrates with taurine, providing energy to athletes during training and delaying the onset of fatigue.Energy gels are a type of sports nutrition supplement that primarily combines water and carbohydrates. Additional elements such as caffeine, vitamins, or amino acids may also be added. These gels are designed particularly for those who practice long-duration, high-intensity sports. That is, cardiovascular exercises: runners, cyclists, swimmers, or triathletes, for example.
The purpose of an energy gel is to quickly provide energy to endurance athletes during competition or training to prevent a "bonk" or energy loss. To achieve this, the carbohydrates in an energy gel are usually of mixed absorption, combining fast-absorbing monosaccharides with slower-absorbing complex carbohydrates (such as maltodextrin).
