IONTMAX
FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel 64 g

IONTMAX FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel is a natural energy gel using hydrogel technology, designed for endurance athletes – runners, cyclists, triathletes, hikers, and ski mountaineers. Each package (64g) contains 40g of carbohydrates from glucose and fructose and provides 160 kcal. It is suitable for longer training sessions and races where effective and comfortable energy replenishment is needed without burdening the digestive tract.

FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel is intended for consumption during sports performance or long physical activity. It is recommended to take it when the body needs to replenish energy – typically every 45–60 minutes during long efforts such as a marathon or a cycling ride. Adjust the number of gels to the duration and intensity of the activity and your planned total carbohydrate intake.

No, there is no need to drink water with FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel – this is one of the main advantages of hydrogel technology. However, it is recommended to continue to stay hydrated during sports activity to prevent dehydration. The gel is therefore particularly convenient for intense running or cycling, where it is not always possible to wash down a standard energy gel.

Hydrogel technology uses a natural biopolymer, sodium alginate from seaweed, combined with calcium and gluconic acid. The resulting gel structure is designed to allow comfortable carbohydrate intake even at high intensity without stomach discomfort. Compared to standard energy gels, it has a smoother consistency that is gentler on the digestive tract.

FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel uses only glucose (35%) and fructose (28%) as energy sources, not maltodextrin. Glucose and fructose are absorbed by different transporters in the intestines, which allows for more efficient utilisation of larger amounts of carbohydrates. The absence of maltodextrin also contributes to a cleaner composition and better tolerability, which is especially appreciated by athletes with sensitive digestive systems.

One pack of FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel (64g) contains exactly 40g of carbohydrates, all of which come from sugars – specifically glucose and fructose. The energy value of one dose is 160 kcal. The fat, protein, and fibre content is 0g. Sodium is less than 89 mg per dose.

Yes, FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel is suitable for vegans. The composition contains only plant-based and natural ingredients: glucose, fructose, purified water, calcium carbonate, gluconic acid, sodium alginate (from seaweed), and natural flavouring. The product does not contain any animal products or allergens.

IONTMAX FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel contains no declared allergens. The composition consists of only 6 ingredients – glucose, fructose, purified water, calcium carbonate, gluconic acid, sodium alginate, and natural flavouring. The product is gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and nut-free, making it suitable for athletes with food intolerances.

Yes, FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel is designed specifically for athletes who have trouble tolerating standard energy gels. The hydrogel structure is gentler on the digestive tract, and the gel contains no maltodextrin, artificial colours, preservatives, or artificial flavours – only 6 natural ingredients. These properties reduce the risk of digestive discomfort at high intensity.

The main difference lies in the technology and composition. FuelGel ULTRA uses a hydrogel structure based on sodium alginate, which does not require water intake and is gentler on the digestive tract. Unlike many standard gels, it contains no maltodextrin, artificial colours, or preservatives. Carbohydrates come exclusively from glucose and fructose (40g per dose), which guarantees a clean and natural ingredient profile.

Yes, you can combine FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel with sports drinks during a race. Since the gel contains less than 89 mg of sodium, combining it with an electrolyte drink helps maintain hydration and mineral balance. When planning carbohydrate intake from multiple sources, track your total hourly carbohydrate intake to avoid overloading your digestive system.

The number of gels depends on the duration and intensity of the performance and your overall carbohydrate intake plan. One FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel provides 40g of carbohydrates and 160 kcal. Most endurance protocols recommend an intake of 60–90g of carbohydrates per hour for long efforts. Adjust the exact number of gels to your individual needs, pace, and other energy sources you use during the activity.

Yes, FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel is also suitable for long hikes, ski touring, or mountain biking. The compact 64g pack easily fits into a jacket pocket or backpack. Since there is no need to drink water with the gel, it is practical even in terrain where access to water is limited. It is suitable for any longer physical activity where you need to replenish energy quickly.

No, FuelGel ULTRA Hydrogel does not contain caffeine or any other stimulants. It is a purely carbohydrate energy gel composed of glucose, fructose, and natural additives that form the hydrogel structure. If you are looking for an energy gel with caffeine for the final stages of a race, you will need a different product or should combine it with a separate source of caffeine.
