Isotonic Energy Gels are a type of energy gel designed to provide your body with carbohydrates and electrolytes during exercise. Unlike traditional energy gels, they contain added water and electrolytes, creating a solution that is similar to the concentration of fluids in your blood. This can aid absorption and potentially reduce stomach upset often experienced with non-isotonic gels.

• Dual Action: Provide carbohydrates for energy alongside electrolytes to help maintain hydration and electrolyte balance, which can be crucial during extended exercise.
• Faster Absorption: The isotonic formula allows for quicker absorption compared to thicker gels, potentially reducing stomach discomfort.
• Convenience: May eliminate the need to carry both a gel and water during exercise, simplifying your fueling strategy.

Isotonic Energy Gels are ideal for athletes participating in endurance activities lasting longer than 45 minutes, such as runners, cyclists, and long-distance swimmers. They can also be beneficial for high-intensity activities where hydration and electrolyte balance are important.

The recommended intake depends on the duration and intensity of your exercise. Generally, athletes aim for 30-60 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Since Isotonic Energy Gels typically contain less carbohydrate than traditional gels (due to the added water), you may need to consume them more frequently. Refer to the specific product information for serving size and consult a registered dietitian for personalized fueling advice.

While Isotonic Energy Gels contain some water, they are not intended to replace your overall hydration needs. It's still important to consume water or a sports drink alongside the gels, especially during extended exercise or hot weather conditions.

IRONWRX Isotonic Energy Gels are available in four flavors: Tangerine, Raspberry, Cherry, and Lemon Lime

Store your Isotonic Energy Gels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check the product label for specific storage recommendations.

While some athletes may use Isotonic Energy Gels pre-exercise, they are primarily designed for fueling during activity.

Not regularly. Some people may experience mild stomach upset, especially if they are not used to consuming gels. It's important to practice using Isotonic Energy Gels during training rides or runs before using them in a competition.
