In.

Crown Sport Nutrition.

we have thought of all those athletes who need a higher carbohydrate intake during sports practice, that is why we have developed the.

Hyper product line.

With them you can easily reach intakes of more than 60 g/hour of carbohydrates.

Within this line we have.

HyperGel 45., an energy gel of the highest quality and with an ideal composition of carbohydrates, caffeine and sodium, nutrients necessary to improve the performance of both training and competitions of long duration and / or high intensity.

In a single gel you will have 45 g of carbohydrates, 80 mg of caffeine and an extra contribution of sodium (approx.

165 mg).

HyperGel 45.

contains the ideal blend, according to science, of carbohydrates,.

Maltodextrin and Fructose., at.

ratio 1.25:1.

(commonly known as.

1:0.8.

).

It has been shown that in prolonged exercise the use of carbohydrates that are absorbed in the intestine by different transporters (known as GLUT) is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g/hour (Currell, K.

et al., MSSE.

2.008, Earnest, C.P.

et al., JSCR.

2004).

To this end, research has shown that the ideal is to combine a source that provides glucose (in our case maltodextrin) with another that provides fructose.

Why combine them in a 1.25:1 ratio (1:0.8) and not in the classic 2:1 or other ratio?.

Because the latest research has shown that with this ratio we achieve maximal oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates, that is, our body obtains maximal energy efficiency from the carbohydrates consumed (74% efficiency) (Rowlands, D.S.

et al., SM.

2.015).

Why use Maltodextrin as a source of glucose and not another one?.

Because, according to the scientific literature available today, it seems to be the best source when high efficiency in the use of exogenous glucose is sought, especially when high carbohydrate intake is required (> 60 g/h).

By using it, we achieve maximum oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other sources of glucose such as cyclodextrin (Cluster Dextrin®) or isomaltulose (Palatinose®).Cyclodextrin or highly branched cyclic dextrin (Cluster Dextrin®, as the most recognized patent) seems interesting at the osmotic level to avoid possible intestinal discomfort, but at the energy efficiency level, to date there is no scientific evidence to show that it is better.

Isomaltulose (Palatinose®, as the most recognized patent), on the one hand, is a source of glucose and fructose, so it is not purely a source of glucose, but apart from that, studies have shown that its energy efficiency is lower compared to other carbohydrates (41% lower vs.

sucrose, for example) (Achten, J.

et al., JN.

2007), i.e., part of what is consumed is not used as a source of energy (always within the context of intake during sports practice), so it does not seem very logical to take a carbohydrate that part of it will not be used to provide energy, which is exactly what we are looking for when consuming this type of product.

Apart from its high energy efficiency, mentioned above, the use of maltodextrin as opposed to glucose as its own source of glucose, also has to do with the fact that the use of this ingredient is more favorable at the osmotic level because it is a larger molecule, which decreases the osmolality of the mixture and this minimizes the possible gastrointestinal discomfort that can occur with the high consumption of carbohydrates during physical effort (Rowlands, D.S.

et al., SM.

2,022).

The conclusion.

is that in terms of energy efficiency, both glucose and maltodextrin are similar, so we could use either of the two, but in terms of osmotic level (to avoid gastrointestinal problems) it is more favorable to use maltodextrin.

In addition, for organoleptic themes, maltodextrin hardly adds any flavor, while glucose is sweeter, something we did not want in this case.

By way of summary and as a conclusion on the carbohydrates used., in the context of products with a high concentration of carbohydrates to be taken during exercise, the most important thing is that the energy efficiency of the exogenous carbohydrates consumed is maximum and minimize gastrointestinal problems as much as possible and, according to science, to date, this is only achieved by combining these 2 sources of carbohydrates (Maltodextrin / Fructose) and in the proportions of.

1.25:1.

(more commonly known as.

1:0.8.

).(Rowlands, D.S.

et al., SM.

2.022).

Only in the caffeinated variant:

We have added caffeine, the most effective ingredient for the direct improvement of performance, both endurance and strength (Grgic, J.

et al., BJSM.

2.019).

In addition to activating the Central Nervous System (CNS), it delays fatigue and optimizes the use of cellular fuels (glycogen and fat).

But the most important thing is that it improves muscular contraction (Lopes, J.M.

et al., JAP.

1983), hence its efficacy especially when fatigue begins.

To complete the formula we have added.

Sodium (Na)., sodium chloride in the form of.

Marine salt., as a contribution of the mineral.

Sodium (Na).

Sodium is the most important electrolyte during sports practice, because it is the one we lose the most with sweat and it is essential to maintain hydration during physical activity (NDA Panel.

EFSA Journal.

2011).

Ideal texture!.

The handicap of gels of this type, i.e.

those containing a high amount of carbohydrates, is the texture, which is usually very dense and/or sandy, so it is sometimes difficult to swallow and must be accompanied with plenty of water.

In our case, we have managed to make a.

fluid texture.

gel that will not be difficult to swallow.

Neutral flavor! No flavorings, no sweeteners, no colorings.To minimize the gastrointestinal problems that may occur, we have developed a product of high purity, so it has no flavor, only at the organoleptic level has a slight sweet touch that brings the fructose itself, nothing more.

It does not contain flavorings, sweeteners or colorings.

And not forgetting that.

HyperGel 45.

is 100% safe as it is.
