FuelGel LACTATE 60 65 g

IONTMAX FuelGel LACTATE 60 takes the traditional energy gel to the next level, bringing one of the latest trends in sports nutrition – an energy gel with lactate – to endurance athletes. Each 65 g pack combines 40 g of carbohydrates from glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio with 60 mmol of exogenous lactate, L-arginine, and electrolytes. It is designed to be used both before and during long, intense endurance activities such as running, cycling, triathlon, or marathons.

Carbohydrates remain the foundation of this product, contributing to the maintenance of normal muscle function during prolonged endurance exercise. The glucose and fructose combination utilises different intestinal transport mechanisms, which is essential, especially when aiming for a higher hourly carbohydrate intake as part of a fuelling strategy. FuelGel LACTATE 60 adds a further metabolic component – lactate – to this proven foundation.

One gel also provides approximately 450 mg of sodium and 150 mg of potassium – essential electrolytes for endurance load. It contains no maltodextrin, caffeine, or taurine, and thanks to its compact form, it is easily integrated into individual nutrition strategies for running, trail running, cycling, triathlon, and other endurance and ultra-endurance sports.

Why include lactate in an energy gel?

For many years, lactate was primarily perceived as an undesirable byproduct of intense physical activity. Today, we know its role in energy metabolism is significantly more complex, which is why lactate gels are becoming a new trend in sports nutrition. Lactate is produced naturally in the body, circulates between tissues, and can be utilised as a metabolic substrate.

FuelGel LACTATE 60 is built on this very principle. Rather than replacing traditional energy sources, the product combines lactate with 40 g of carbohydrates. One serving contains 60 mmol of exogenous lactate, which equates to approximately 5.4 g of lactate (calculated as lactic acid).

The result is a non-traditional sports nutrition concept that adds a new metabolic component to the standard carbohydrate replenishment system.

Carefully selected ingredients

• Glucose + Fructose – two carbohydrate sources combined in a 1:0.8 ratio. They form the base of the energy gel and allow for easy integration into high-hourly-intake carbohydrate strategies for running, cycling, or triathlon.
• Lactate System – a combination of lactic acid and sodium, potassium, and calcium lactates provides a total of 60 mmol of exogenous lactate per serving. Lactate is a natural part of energy metabolism that the body can further metabolically utilise.
• L-arginine – an amino acid commonly used in sports nutrition products to complement the gel's complex composition.
• Sodium and Potassium – vital electrolytes lost through sweat during physical activity. One gel provides approximately 450 mg of sodium and 150 mg of potassium.
• Sodium Alginate + Xanthan Gum – create the characteristic gel consistency, allowing for convenient consumption during movement without the need to drink water.

Who is FuelGel LACTATE 60 for?

FuelGel LACTATE 60 is designed primarily for endurance athletes – runners, cyclists, and triathletes who already follow a systematic carbohydrate intake plan and are looking for ways to expand their fuelling strategy.

It is particularly effective for:

• Running and trail running
• Road and mountain biking
• Triathlon
• Marathons, ultramarathons, and other ultra-endurance disciplines
• Long training sessions and high-energy-demand races

Due to its specific composition, it is recommended to test your individual tolerance during training before incorporating it into your race-day nutrition.

Directions of use

Consume 1 gel approximately 20 to 30 minutes before exercise. During prolonged physical activity, use according to your individual nutrition strategy, required hourly carbohydrate intake, duration, and intensity of performance, as well as individual tolerance. The maximum recommended daily dose is 3 gels. You may drink approximately 100 ml of water with the gel, though it is not required.
