UMARA U GEL Lemon 20g carb

Umara U Gel 1:0.8

A 33ml liquid gel with a carbohydrate ratio of glucose (maltodextrin) to fructose of 1:0.8. Each gel provides 20g of carbohydrates + electrolytes. Flavours marked with a + sign contain caffeine. This rule applies across our entire range, and for this product, the Cola gel contains 21mg of caffeine.

The gel has a thin consistency, so you don't need to drink water when taking it. It contains all 4 major electrolytes lost through sweat (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) in a well-balanced amount.

Packaged in a long, slim 160x45mm sachet sized to fit comfortably in both cycling pockets and running tights. It's filled just enough that you can also fold it in half lengthwise if you'd like it to be shorter.

Questions & Answers

Should I take a caffeine gel at the beginning or end of training/competition? Caffeine gels should be taken continuously throughout the activity. We recommend 1-2 caffeine gels per hour, providing a maintenance dose of caffeine equivalent to half a cup of coffee per hour. This helps you maintain your body's caffeine level if you've loaded up on caffeine with, for example, U Intend before the start. A caffeine gel later in the session/race can also provide an extra boost at the end of a long race.

How many can I take per hour? You can take up to 5 U Gels per hour, but this only really works when cycling. For running and skiing, the recommendation is 3-4 U Gels per hour if it is your only source of energy.

How quickly does U Gel provide energy? A psychological/neurological boost takes effect immediately in the mouth, then it takes 5-10min for the energy to pass through the stomach and reach the small intestine, where the absorption of carbohydrates for transport into the bloodstream and muscles begins and we can start to feel the effects.
