What is isotonic? When do you choose an isotonic sports gel or high energy gel?

You've probably seen it before: isotonic sports drinks and isotonic gels. But what exactly is isotonic and which is better for which training? An isotonic drink replenishes what you lose during exercise, it contains fast sugars (dextrose), the right amount of minerals (sodium) and fluid (water). These are all the elements needed to be able to continue exercising for longer. An isotonic sports drink contains approximately the same number of particles per 100 milliliters as body fluid. This way, an isotonic sports drink or sports gel can be easily absorbed by your body. Ideal for endurance athletes!

The isotonic gel is an energy gel in which the main source of carbohydrates is Cyclodextrin, a cutting-edge carbohydrate that provides an improved and more efficient replenishment of Glycogen. In other words; No water is required for the absorption of this gel, as the gel itself already contains the required amount of water. So great!

226ERS High energy gel
High Energy Gel, just like the isotonic gel, is an energy gel in which the main source of carbohydrates is cyclodextrin. The main difference is the number of carbohydrates per serving.
