IRON EDGE GEL

Iron Edge Gel is the first isotonic energy gel by Syform designated for endurance sports activities. Its capacities enable the replenishment of energy of both muscles and mineral salts, which get lost as a result of sweat.

The gel was designed for athletes such as runners who don’t have the possibility to carry ergo saline bottles with themselves, as they would weigh them down. Iron Edge Gel contains a mix of 35 g of carbohydrates per dose, having various absorption rates to provide a constant energy availability and guarantee an optimal gastrointestinal tolerance. Moreover, it is made with a glucose (derived also from branched cyclodextrins) and fructose ratio equal to 1:0.8.

The most recent scientific studies have determined that this is the most effective ratio to support sports activities lasting for at least two hours. The combination is effective due to the fact that glucose is absorbed thanks to a transporter (glut1), while fructose enters through a different route (glut5). As a result, the absorption of sugars from the intestine is increased during exercise.

It has been shown that the increased absorption enables the organism a greater production of ATP and increases muscle power.

The glucose of Iron Edge Gel is partly provided by highly branched alpha cyclodextrins, a complex and innovative carbohydrate which has shown the ability to delay fatigue and reduce inflammatory stress during physical exercise.

Furthermore, Iron Edge Gel contains sodium, magnesium and potassium electrolytes, as well as chloride anion. These are included in a specific concentration which helps to restore the deficit occurring in case of intense sweat.

Magnesium glycerophosphate is a highly absorbable organic salt which optimises the replenishment of magnesium.

Interestingly, the presence of aroma in Iron Edge Gel is reduced due to the fact that its excessive use during an intense physical activity can negatively affect the central nervous system.

According to recent studies, gut training helps elite athletes absorb up to 90-120 g of carbohydrates per hour, which is an amount of carbohydrates associated with a maximum performance during resistance exercises. Iron Man is an extreme sport, and hence this type of approach could absolutely result in success.

Iron Edge Gel is an ideal energy saline support for endurance sports.

Iron Edge Gel is an energetic support designated for endurance sports, ultra trails and Ironman.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Use 1 or more single doses per day (equal to 60 ml) before or during an exercise or race, followed by a sip of water.
