We are endurance athletes, just like you, and faced constant frustration by how exceptionally expensive energy gels were.

So, we made a product of equivalent or better quality, that contained more carbs, and at a price we as consumers would pay.

We are here to stop sports nutrition brands from robbing you.

Depending on the demands of the athlete, consuming 80-120 grams of carbohydrates per hour has been shown to effectively enhance and prolong endurance performance.

Our gels contain 50 grams of carbohydrates in a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio to support athletes in achieving their fueling goals. More carbs per gel also means less packaging waste, so it is better for the environment too.

Our gel contains 50 grams of carbohydrates. If you are not used to consuming more than 50 grams of carbohydrates per hour, we recommend starting with one gel every 60 minutes.

Gradually work you way towards consuming one gel every 30 minutes as you train your body to be able to consume 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour.

Depending on the intensity and demand of your activity, more or less fueling is required. We recommend listening to your body and how you feel as you increase your carbohydrate intake.

We suggest to consume our gels with a couple sips of water.

A part of our mission is to illustrate how simple fueling for endurance activities should be. We wanted a name that conveyed that message; Carbs Fuel seemed as simple as it gets.

No matter how epic the activity, with proper fueling, you'll look around at your friends and say "Let's keep going".

The Carbs Fuel logo mark seeks to reflect the forward momentum and movement created by exceptional fueling, and is inspired by the 2:1 glucose:fructose formula.

As with most things, the context depends.

If you're sitting on the couch watching TV, probably.

If you're participating in prolonged, strenuous activity, carbohydrates are what your body needs to optimally perform.

Simple carbohydrates are the easiest and quickest form of nutrition for your body to use as fuel.

Because of the word before sugar, SIMPLE!

Whole foods are great for you, but they have additional nutrients like fiber, protein, and fat. Those nutrients are great for a balanced diet, but during exercise they can slow digestion and delivery of the much-needed carbohydrates. 

Simple sugars, aka carbohydrates, are what your body needs to fuel your activity.

Energy gels are carbohydrate-rich product that provide fuel to endurance athletes in a convenient, pre-wrapped, and portable 1-2 ounce packet. Energy gels help to maintain blood glucose level, preventing “the bonk”; this fueling results in enhanced endurance performance.

Drink mixes are great, but if you load your bottles with calories, that affects your ability to hydrate.

We want our bottles to hydrate us, and our food to fuel us.

1. We have more carbohydrates per packet
2. We don't use preservatives
3. We don't use gelling agents
4. We sell at a price allows people to properly fuel in racing and training

Our gel is bright and semi-sweet; it is neutral enough for athletes to enjoy consuming in hour 1 and hour 6 of their endurance activity.

We may launch products of other flavor variations in the future, but we think our original flavor is exceptional.

We do not use any gelling agents like Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum, or Pectin. This makes our gels less viscous and easy to consume.

We dont use gelling agents like Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum, or Pectin because we wanted to eliminate the use of any ingredient which could cause stomach problems.

Plus, if it doesn't help your endurance performance, why would we?

Our gels are naturally a great consistency thanks to the carbohydrate volume.

• Water - Brings all of it together
• Maltodextrin - The primary form of glucose - easy to digest, low sweetness, and makes it a bit thicker!
• Sucrose - 50% glucose, 50% fructose, helps bring a nice sweet flavor.
• Fructose - Brings us to the ideal 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio
• Sodium Citrate - Adds some sodium for you and gives it a brighter taste.
• Citric Acid - Helps with taste and pH.
• Sodium Chloride - Sodium! Helps with digestion and is great for performance.

Glucose and fructose are carbohydrates that your body can use during endurance exercise to better perform. This ratio is an ideal balance of the carbohydrate forms for optimal fueling.
