X-PLOSIV PRO GEL

Carbohydrates or sugars are the body’s primary and most immediate sources of energy. They serve as daily fuel for the muscles and brain, becoming even more necessary during sports activities.

The human body has a limited supply of carbohydrates and glycogen, which are stored in the muscles and liver. An adult individual typically stores around 400-500 g, which is insufficient for high-intensity exercise lasting more than two hours.

To sustain prolonged physical activity efficiently and prevent fatigue, it is therefore crucial to replenish carbohydrates.

X-Plosiv Pro Gel of 66 ml provides 40 g of maltodextrin and fructose in a 2:1 ratio. These fast-absorbing simple sugars are ideal for sustaining energy requirements during intense and prolonged physical activity. Scientific studies confirm that consuming a high amount of sugars per hour maximizes muscle performance. To achieve this result, it is crucial to consume glucose and fructose in a 2:1 ratio rather than glucose alone. This 2:1 ratio allows the muscles to absorb up to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour without causing intestinal discomfort. For even higher intake, we recommend Fusion Gel, which contains maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:1 ratio.

Until a few years ago, it was believed that the human body could not absorb more than 60 g/h of carbohydrates in the form of glucose. However, studies have shown that blending different carbohydrate sources enhances performance. In particular, consuming a 2:1 glucose-fructose blend enables absorption of up to 90 g/h, as the organism utilizes two different ways to transport sugars in the intestine. Glucose enters through the GLUT1 transporter, while fructose enters through the GLUT5 transporter.

X-Plosiv Pro Gel bypasses the stomach quickly and is rapidly absorbed. It has a light aromatic note, which facilitates an improved functional muscle balance.

Another aspect to keep in mind is the timing of carbohydrate consumption during physical activity. Specifically, in the first two hours of intense physical activity, when the glycogen reserve is still rather high, there is a tendency to prefer the 2:1 ratio. Beyond two hours, a 1:1 ratio is preferred, likely due to fatigue and glycogen depletion.

X-Plosiv Pro Gel comes in a practical single-dose, pocket-sized packaging, making it easy to carry during races.

X-Plosiv Pro Gel is designed to optimize muscular energy response during the first 2 hours of endurance sports. Two gels provide 80 g/h of carbohydrates. For higher dosing, we recommend supplementing with Fusion Gel.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Take up to two gels per hour with a few sips of water during intense and prolonged exercise. Maintain proper hydration, and do not exceed 90 g of carbohydrates per hour.
