What are Energy Gels and Why use them?
DUAL CHARGE FORMULA
Maximize Your Carbohydrate Absorption for Optimal Endurance Performance with our 2:1 Dual Charge Carb formula.
Go Faster for Longer... KMC IT.
Collapsible content
What is the Dual Charge formula?
Our Dual Charge energy delivery system provides your body with an instant but long-lasting energy release. By combining Maltodextrin & Fructose in a ratio of 2:1 to maximise your Carbohydrate absorption. Go Faster for Longer... KMC IT.
Glucose, often called the building block of carbohydrate - a simple form of sugar and as such is absorbed straight into the bloodstream, raising your blood sugar level. This in-turn stimulates the release of certain hormones which increase the amount of glucose able to enter your body’s cells, providing a more instant release of energy.
Fructose is also absorbed more directly into the bloodstream mostly through the liver but raises blood sugar levels more slowly. This creates our dual fuel energy delivery system; instant but long-lasting.

NO STOMACH TROUBLE
Experience Digestive Comfort with Our Stomach-Friendly Products

What makes your gels easy to digest?
Our Recharged gel formula is much less viscous , without compromising Carbohydrate content, making them less sticky, more easily swallowed and digested. Water is essential in helping digestion as it keeps the food you eat moving along through your intestines and it keeps your intestines smooth and flexible, too. We always recommend taking our gels with water - So why not use our KMC ISO MIX?
Benefits of Mint You will find at the core of all our energy gels the natural flavour of mint. Mint is amazing, it not only tastes great, but has other many other proven beneficial qualities as a soothing herb, an antispasmodic and even increases pain threshold!
Mint has been known for thousands of years as a natural calming and soothing herb. It is made up of 78% menthol which encourages bile to flow into the Duodenum, where it promotes and aids digestion. Mint is also a natural and potent ‘antispasmodic’ which relaxes the action of muscles making digestion and the subsequent release of energy quicker, and also kinder on your stomach.
Mint has even been proven to naturally increase the pain threshold of the human body! (Quite handy when you need that extra edge on your apponents).

What are the benefits of Electrolytes?
+Electrolytes - KMC NRG GEL contains a blend of 4 Electrolytes designed to aid hydration by replacing salts lost through sweat and improve physical performance. Electrolytes also help avoid cramp and early onset fatigue.
They sound exciting but they are all about balance. Simply, electrolytes are electrically charged minerals which have a key role in many bodily functions, specifically fluid balance. Their charge helps pull water from your blood into your muscles.
The important electrolytes for athletes are sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium.
Electrolytes are necessary for a variety of things, like hydration, muscle contraction and blood pressure. Certain electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, are lost in sweat and need to be replaced to maintain the proper fluid balance in the body.
