Read More: Energy Gels - What are they and should I use them?

A: We recommend you consume one gel every 30 minutes, before and during exercise to #Recharge. Suitable for all Sports.

KMC NRG GELs contain 27g of Dual Charge Formula™ Carbohydrate, 4 Key Electrolytes and B Vitamins (B3, B5, B6 & B12) so they pack a real punch. If you want to #Supercharge your performance, you have come to the right place!

Always think ahead and stay on top of your energy levels, eat pro-actively not re-actively, to avoid hitting the wall.

• Eat well before you start exercising and take your first gel within 30-60 minutes into your activity, take one gel every 30 minutes thereafter.
• Our energy gels are much less viscous than most and isotonic, but we would still recommend having some water.
• It's a good idea to mix it up with some GEL+ Caffeine energy gels. Caffeine is scientifically proven to boost your physical endurance. (...but don't exceed the recommended GDA).

A: Your digestive system is at it's most vulnerable during exercise and your gut needs water to digest carbohydrates. For as long as energy gels stomach issues have been around, so have some of their rather unpleasant side effects associated with certain gels.
