GEL X has launched.
The launch story
First was GEL. Then GEL+. Now meet GEL X.
GEL X is Kendal Mint Co's next-generation high-carbohydrate energy gel, developed for athletes who need bigger fuelling numbers without carrying half a shop in their pockets.
After more than 18 months, 100+ samples, 19 formulations and over 300 early testers, the finished gel delivers 45g carbohydrate, 200mg sodium and a neutral cooling taste designed to reduce flavour fatigue.
“It had to be something we’d tested properly, improved properly, and felt genuinely proud to put in front of athletes.”Jack Barker, Co-Founder, Kendal Mint Co
Editorial angles
High carbohydrate. Low flavour fatigue.
GEL X combines a modern 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio with the heritage of Kendal Mint Cake and a deliberately neutral sensory profile.
Neutral flavour
Designed to stay easy several hours in.
The formula uses natural menthol to create a neutral taste with a light cooling sensation, designed for long sessions where sweet or strongly flavoured products can become tiring.
- Neutral, lightly cooling taste
- Vegan and gluten free
- Informed Sport tested
- 70g single-serve stick pack
