What makes up the score
Carbohydrate contribution10.7 servings/h to reach 45 g/h0/100
It would take 321.4 g of this product per hour to cover your carbohydrate target alone.
Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour0/100
To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour with this product alone, you would need 321.4 g per hour, about 10.5 servings.
This amount is what matters: 321.4 g of this product means 24.6 g of fat, 90 g of fibre, 107.1 g of protein and 28.9 g of polyols to digest on the move.
Fat: 24.6 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone goes up to 2 grams per hour. Fat takes time to leave the stomach, which stays heavy while you run.
Why fat gets in the wayFibre: 90 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone goes up to 2 grams per hour. Fibre bloats the stomach during exercise, can cause urgent toilet stops at the wrong moment and adds to digestive discomfort.
Why fibre gets in the wayProtein: 107.1 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone goes up to 5 grams per hour. Protein digests slowly and gives no immediate energy: mid-effort, it gets in the way more than it helps.
Why protein gets in the wayPolyols (sweeteners): 28.9 grams per hour, far too much: the comfort zone goes up to 1 grams per hour. Common in “sugar-free” products, these sweeteners are poorly tolerated by the gut.
Why polyols get in the way
To ease digestion, alternate it with a gel or a drink.
Everyone digests differently: try your products in training, never on race day.

Salt: 0.2 g per 100 g, below the savoury threshold of 1.5 g.
Neutral taste
A taste estimated as neutral from the nutritional values.
