IONTMAX
IgnitionGel Caffeine Hydrogel 40 g

IONTMAX IgnitionGel Caffeine Hydrogel is a caffeine-based energy gel in a hydrogel format for endurance athletes – runners, cyclists, and triathletes. Each 40 g serving contains 25 g of carbohydrates and 200 mg of caffeine. It is ideal before a race, before tough climbs, during a marathon, or in the final stages of a race for quick energy and mental clarity.

IgnitionGel is intended for use before exercise or during long-duration activity. It is perfect before the start of a race, ahead of a demanding section, or whenever you need a fast energy boost. Due to the hydrogel form, you do not need to wash it down with water, although staying hydrated is recommended.

One 40 g serving contains 200 mg of caffeine. This is a significant dose, comparable to two espressos. Caffeine helps increase alertness and concentration. Consequently, avoid combining it with other caffeine sources, and individuals sensitive to caffeine should exercise caution.

No, you do not need to drink water with IONTMAX IgnitionGel. The hydrogel consistency allows for easy intake, which is a major advantage for running or cycling. However, always ensure you continue to drink fluids throughout your activity to prevent dehydration.

Hydrogel technology uses a natural seaweed-derived biopolymer (sodium alginate) combined with calcium and gluconic acid. This results in a specialised gel texture that is easier to consume at high intensities. Compared to traditional dense gels, our hydrogel is lighter on the stomach and does not require additional water.

IgnitionGel contains 25 g of carbohydrates as a mix of glucose (35%) and fructose (28%). These two sugars use different transport systems in the gut – a dual-carb system – which enables more efficient absorption and a higher carbohydrate intake per hour compared to single-source products. It contains no maltodextrin.

No, IONTMAX IgnitionGel does not contain any allergens. The product is gluten-free, lactose-free, and contains no artificial colours or preservatives. It is a safe choice for those with common food sensitivities, though you should always check the label.

Yes, the ingredients in IgnitionGel are vegan-friendly. It contains only plant-based and synthetic ingredients: glucose, fructose, purified water, calcium carbonate, gluconic acid, sodium alginate (from seaweed), caffeine, and natural flavouring. It contains no animal products.

One 40 g serving of IONTMAX IgnitionGel Caffeine Hydrogel provides 100 kcal. All calories come from carbohydrates – 25 g of sugars (glucose and fructose). The gel contains no fats or proteins, making it a pure energy product for rapid fueling.

Carefully consider combining this with other caffeine sources. One gel contains 200 mg of caffeine. Adding further caffeine may lead to excessive intake, potentially causing heart palpitations, nervousness, or sleep disruption. Healthy adults should not exceed 400 mg of caffeine per day.

IONTMAX IgnitionGel Caffeine Hydrogel comes in a grapefruit flavour using natural aroma. The product is free from artificial colours and preservatives, ensuring a clean flavour profile.

The main difference is the 200 mg of caffeine, which helps increase alertness and concentration – benefits not provided by caffeine-free gels. Additionally, it uses sodium alginate hydrogel technology for a better texture that doesn't require water. It is also maltodextrin-free.

Beginners can use the gel, but should note the high 200 mg caffeine content. Those not accustomed to caffeine may experience side effects like nervousness or a rapid heart rate. For shorter workouts or those sensitive to caffeine, a caffeine-free energy gel is recommended. IgnitionGel is primarily designed for experienced endurance athletes during races or long-duration efforts.
