Nrgy Gel 45 Box (Electrolyte-Free)

Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) is designed for athletes with high energy demands who need a gel that reliably delivers carbohydrates without causing digestive issues or who want to control electrolyte intake separately. 

1:0.8 CARBOHYDRATE RATIO

Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) contains glucose (as maltodextrin) and fructose. Because these carbohydrates are absorbed through different transporters in the gut, combining them allows your body to absorb more carbohydrates.

This scientifically backed 1:0.8 ratio further improves absorption, making it possible to consume 90 grams per hour or more without overloading the digestive system. The result is a steady supply of energy that supports performance during long or high-intensity sessions.

45 G OF CARBS PER GEL

Each gel provides 45 grams of carbohydrates, making it one of the most energy-dense gels available. The high dosage means you won't need to consume as many gels per hour to meet your energy needs, allowing you to focus on performance instead of fuelling.

Despite being more concentrated, the gel maintains a smooth texture and balanced flavour, making it easy to consume hour after hour.

ELECTROLYTE-FREE

Because it contains no electrolytes, Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) gives you greater control over your fuelling and hydration strategies. Use it alongside electrolyte-containing products to hit precise targets or as a top-up to increase carbohydrate intake without adding extra electrolytes.

DESIGNED FOR MODULARITY

All Nrgy products contain 22.5, 45, or 90 grams of carbohydrates per serving. These standardised amounts make it easy to combine products to reach 90 grams of carbs per hour. 

Mixing and matching products allows you to create a modular system: gels and bars provide concentrated energy, sports drinks provide energy and hydration, and electrolyte-free products act as an energy top-up.

• Preserves glycogen stores
• High carbohydrate amount per gel
• 1:0.8 ratio supports high energy intake without digestive issues
• Prevents muscle cramps

Q: Who should use Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free)?
Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) is designed for endurance athletes with high energy demands, including cyclists, runners, triathletes, and long-distance athletes. It is particularly suited for long or intense training sessions and races where rapid carbohydrate absorption is critical.

Q: Why does Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) use a 1:0.8 glucose–fructose ratio?
This ratio allows carbohydrates to be absorbed via multiple intestinal transport pathways, increasing total carbohydrate uptake while reducing the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort compared to single-source carbohydrate products.

Q: How many gels should I take per hour?
Most athletes use one to two Nrgy Gels 45 (Electrolyte-Free) per hour, depending on exercise intensity, duration, and overall fuelling strategy. Total carbohydrate intake should be adjusted based on individual tolerance and performance goals.

Q: Should I take Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) with water?
Yes. Taking Nrgy Gels 45 (Electrolyte-Free) with water supports digestion and carbohydrate absorption, especially at higher intake levels.

Q: Can Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) be combined with other fuelling products?
Yes. Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) can be used alongside other fuelling gels, drinks, and bars. To reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disturbances, we recommend using Nrgy Gels 45 (Electrolyte-Free) with other Nrgy fuelling products, as these all use the same 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio. Always be mindful of total carbohydrate and electrolyte intake when combining fuelling products.

Q: Is Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) suitable for hot conditions or high-sweat sessions?
Yes, but we recommend consuming electrolytes alongside this product in warmer conditions or during sessions with higher sweat rates.

Q: Can Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) cause stomach issues?
Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) uses dual carbohydrates in a 1:0.8 formula. This formula improves absorption and reduces the likelihood of stomach issues. However, carbohydrate tolerance varies by individual, so athletes should practise using it during training before race day. 

Q: Is Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) vegan and gluten-free?
Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) is suitable for a vegan diet and does not contain gluten.

Q: Why does the nutrition label say that Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) contains 22 g of sugar?
Because not all carbohydrates in Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) come from sugars. A significant portion of the carbohydrates is provided as maltodextrin, which is not classified as a sugar on nutrition labels. When combined with fructose, this allows the gel to deliver a total of 45 grams of carbohydrates, even though the nutrition label states a lower sugar content. 

Q: Does Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) contain caffeine?
Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) does not contain caffeine. However, there is also a version of Nrgy Gel 45 with caffeine. The packaging for the caffeinated version has a red top and clearly indicates that it contains caffeine.

Q: Which Nrgy Gel should I use? 
It depends on your training type and personal needs. 

• Choose Nrgy Gel 45 with electrolytes when you need an all-in-one fuel and electrolyte solution.
• Choose Nrgy Gel 45 without electrolytes when you are getting electrolytes from other sources, or your electrolyte needs are lower. Separating carbohydrates and electrolytes also allows you to create a more precise, modular fuelling strategy.
• Choose Nrgy Gel 45 with caffeine (contains electrolytes) when you want the performance-enhancing effects of caffeine, such as increased focus during a decisive race segment, an attack, or a strong finish.
• Choose Nrgy Gel 22.5 without electrolytes when you don’t need a full 45 grams of carbohydrates, such as during shorter efforts or when you want to combine it with other Nrgy products to fine-tune your fuel intake.

Q: Should I use Nrgy gels or Nrgy drinks?
Both Nrgy gels and drinks deliver fast-absorbing carbohydrates in the 1:0.8 ratio and are available with or without electrolytes. The choice depends on your preference and situation. 

• Nrgy Gels: Great for situations where you need a concentrated dose of carbs in a small, portable form. They’re easy to carry and use mid-race, but you’ll need to consume fluids separately.
• Nrgy Drinks: Better for when you want carbohydrates and fluids in one product, and portability is less of a concern. 
  

Many athletes use a combination of both gels and drinks to meet their fuelling needs.

Q: Does Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) contain any banned substances?
No, Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) is free from substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It is also Informed Sport Certified, meaning each batch is tested by an independent laboratory for banned substances and manufactured under strict quality-control standards. This certification gives athletes confidence that the product is safe to use in competition.

Q: Which maltodextrin is used in Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free)?
Nrgy Gel 45 (Electrolyte-Free) uses corn-derived maltodextrin with a dextrose equivalent (DE) of approximately 19. This DE value indicates the degree of hydrolysis and helps determine how quickly the carbohydrate is digested and absorbed.
