How to read them
- Carbs per serving: grams matter, not the number of gels. Reaching the same hourly intake takes more sachets with a 25 g gel than with a 40 g one.
- Glucose and fructose ratio: the two gels that declare it use 1:0.8. The ratio is about how carbohydrates are absorbed; the article below summarises a study on amounts.
- Tolerance: train with it before race day, same brand and same amount.
