e-Gel is the first and only Electrolyte Energy Gel with 4 to 5 times the electrolyte levels of traditional energy gels. When taken with adequate amounts of water you can now get balanced hydration, energy and electrolyte replacement in one product. And, with 150 carbohydrate calories, e-Gel packs 50% more energy than most competing energy gels. The Balanced Solution Energy Gels by themselves are extremely hypertonic (more concentrated then your body fluids), which means they are very slowly absorbed by your body. With all energy gels (e-Gel, GU, Clif Shot, etc.) it is important that you consume adequate amounts of water (more info). Water dilutes the gel and lowers the osmolality of the combined solution, thus increasing the absorption rate. If you consume just the right amount of water, the combined solution will become isotonic (the same concentration as your body fluids) which allows for rapid absorption, hydration and maximum energy delivery. Drinking Gatorade or other electrolyte sports drinks with your gel (instead of water) will not properly dilute the gel, thus slowing the absorption rate. This can also lead to stomach irritation and a dehydrating effect as your cellular fluids are drawn upon to dilute the gel. So, if you drink water with your gel like you have to, then how do you replace your electrolytes? Other gels contain electrolytes, but unfortunately most do not contain nearly enough (see comparisons) to provide adequate electrolyte replacement (even GU says so). e-Gel on the other hand is the first Electrolyte Energy Gel and is designed to provide complete and balanced energy, hydration and electrolyte replacement. In fact, e-Gel has more than 4 times as much sodium and nearly twice as much potassium as most competing gels:

For each hour of athletic activity, Crank Sports recommends consuming 1 to 2 e-Gel packets and 16 to 32 ounces of water for balanced energy, hydration and electrolyte replacement. Your individual intake requirements will vary depend among other things on temperature, humidity, athletic intensity, etc. For more information, refer to: Hydration - the key to optimum performance with energy gels.

Why Try e-Gel?
e-Gel is not just another energy gel. After two years of development, Crank Sports has had the ability to vastly improve upon existing energy gels. For more information, see why try e-Gel?  

Carrying and Consuming your e-Gel
e-Gel is packaged in single use foil pouches that are easily transported in pockets, jerseys, etc. For longer workouts that require more than one gel, you may want to consider using a gel belt (right) or gel pocket. Check out our selection of gel gear

*100 Calorie Cost
For cost comparison to the competition we have provided the "100 Calorie Cost".  At 150 calories per pack, e-Gel contains 50% more energy compared to typical 100 calorie energy gels. With e-Gel you also carry fewer packs and have less "trash" to deal with. Combine this with no sales tax and you get a better product at a better price!

Formulation

Energy  
150 carbohydrate calories from a blend of glucose polymers (maltodextrin) and fructose that is designed to provide sustained energy delivery. That's 50% more energy then other leading energy gels.

Electrolytes  
230 mg of sodium and 80 mg potassium (more than double other gels) · No fat and no protein (since it is designed to be consumed during athletic activity)

Antioxidant Blend
To protect tissues by neutralizing free radicals that are produced by the muscle's use of oxygen during intense athletic activity.

Amino Acid Blend
Designed to slow lactic acid build up, fight muscle degradation and assist in maintaining focus and concentration.

Vitamin B6
Assists with the conversion of protein to energy, and research has shown that your body looses vitamin B6 during intense athletic activity.

Balanced Formulation
e-Gel is the only gel designed to provide complete energy, hydration, and electrolyte replacement when consumed with sufficient amounts of water.
