PRO LINE Energy Gel

Products with the additional label 'PRO LINE' contain higher doses of active ingredients compared to the basic products within the Etixx range. These products have been developed for athletes with a higher training load, more intensive performances and specific goals, where more targeted support is required.

For the average recreational athlete, these higher doses are in theory often not necessary. The basic products within the Etixx range generally provide sufficient support to optimally support performance, recovery and general sports goals.

For competitive, ambitious or professional athletes however, the PRO LINE products can offer just that extra advantage to optimise performance, further support recovery or work even more specifically towards specific sports goals.

Ultra endurance athletes and well trained endurance athletes more frequently consume larger amounts of carbohydrates during exercise lasting longer than 3 hours, up to as much as 120g per hour. During intensive exercise, the body absorbs a maximum of approximately 60g of glucose per hour from the intestine due to saturation of the glucose transporter. During prolonged exercise of more than three hours, this can be a limiting factor because the need for carbohydrates is higher than 60g per hour. By simultaneously consuming different types of carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose, the total absorption of carbohydrates can increase to 90g per hour or more, since absorption occurs through two different absorption channels in the intestine.

Studies show that at intakes of more than 90g of carbohydrates per hour, ratios closer to an equal amount of glucose and fructose, such as 1:0.8, may be even better and are therefore preferred. This is partly because a larger proportion of the consumed carbohydrates can actually be utilised as energy, without exceeding the capacity of the glucose transporter. Furthermore, the risk of gastrointestinal problems is slightly lower with this ratio at such high carbohydrate intakes.

Yes, all Etixx Energy Bars, Gels and Gummies contain fructose.

The Etixx Energy Gels carry the label 'gluten free'. This means that the gluten content in the gels is a maximum of 20 mg/kg of gluten. However, they are produced in a production environment where gluten is also present, so they may possibly contain traces of gluten, which is important information for athletes who are extremely sensitive to gluten.
