The Glyk breakdown

What to know before you head out

Strength

Multiple carbohydrate sources

Combines glucose and fructose. At high intake rates, this mix can help you use more ingested carbohydrate during prolonged exercise.

Worth knowing

Two gels? That’s 200 mg of caffeine.

Remember to count the caffeine in your drinks and other products, too.

The label gives you the numbers. Glyk helps you make sense of them.

Spotted a new gel? Getting ready for your next session? Open Glyk before you make your choice.

Tempted by a new gel?

Scan it before you buy it. Check the nutrition and ingredients—not just the promises on the packet.

You need fuel, not a lecture.

Glyk focuses on what your products provide while you run, ride or race.

Endurance comes first

An energy gel has a different job from a meal. Glyk analyses your products for use in training and racing.

You get the explanation

Whether it’s a strength or a limitation, Glyk explains why. You get more than a verdict.

How the analysis works

Check for yourself

The nutrition information and ingredients stay alongside the analysis, so you can check what the product says for yourself.

Got questions?

Who is Glyk for?

Glyk is for anyone who uses gels, bars or drinks during exercise and wants to know what they’re consuming. Whether you’re into running, trail running, cycling or triathlon, you don’t need to be a nutrition expert to care about your fuel.

What can I scan?

Glyk is designed for energy gels, bars and drinks used during exercise. Whether a product is recognised—and how much detail you’ll see—depends on the data available.

What does Glyk tell me that the label doesn’t?

The label tells you what’s in the product. Glyk helps you understand what that means for endurance, including its strengths, limitations and the things to watch.

Will Glyk tell me how many gels to take?

No. Glyk helps you choose your products, but it doesn’t give you a personalised fuelling plan.
