What makes up the score
Carbohydrate contribution1 gel/h to reach 45 g/h100/100
A concentrated carbohydrate source, reducing the amount of product needed to reach this target.
Digestive comfortWhat your stomach should handle each hour61/100
To reach 45 g of carbohydrates per hour, you would need 1 gel per hour.
This amount is what matters: 54.6 g of this product means 15.3 g of fat to digest on the move.
Fat: 15.3 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: 1.9 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 2 grams per hour.
Protein: 3.8 grams per hour, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 5 grams per hour.
Polyols (sweeteners): none in the ingredients, within the comfort zone, which goes up to 1 grams per hour.
To ease digestion, alternate it with a gel or a drink.
