Frequently Asked Questions
-
YES! PRO GEL™ is vegan and contains no allergens.
-
We use citrus based pectin only
-
Every single gel is just sugar. EXCEPT PRO GEL™. Welcome to the 21st century. We’ve built in muscle repairing peptides, tuned with Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin-possibly the best endurance carbohydrate in the world today, and that science backed ratio of glucose/fructose to get across that finish line, without the wear.
-
Hydrolyzed proteins and peptides are synonyms. The building blocks of proteins (your muscles) are amino acids. Shorts chains of amino acids-before turning into a full on protein- are called peptides. Ours are 2 and 3 amino acids long, for rapid absorption.
-
We are patent pending and no one else can deliver you a peptide/carbohydrate gel.
-
Intra workout is a serious time on your body, unlike sitting on the couch eating popcorn. This isn’t fluff and marketing, this is science. Your muscles break down with strenuous activity. If you can help repair/replace the breakdown before it gets out of hand, recovery time decreases and you can train harder for longer.
-
Take the exact same amount. The additional calories are in the form of peptides, used for muscle repair. Most athletes burn ~60-90 grams of carbs per hour. That’s about 1 gel every 30-45 minutes. There has been such a focus on carbohydrates in endurance science, that the amount of muscle burned isn’t as well understood, but WE are working on finding out.
