The Isotex+ Gel from Scientific Nutrition provides 40 g of carbohydrates, based on maltodextrin and fructose, per 60 g gel. It also contains 300 mg of sodium as well as potassium, a combination of essential minerals for maintaining electrolyte balance, regulating hydration, and supporting proper muscle function.

Maltodextrin is a source of fast-releasing energy and is quickly absorbed due to its high glycemic index, allowing for immediate energy supply for intense and long-duration sports. Fructose, on the other hand, releases prolonged energy, beneficial during prolonged high-intensity exercise.

The electrolyte content is fundamental for physical performance and overall health of athletes. During intense exercise, the body loses significant amounts of electrolytes through sweat. These electrolytes are essential for maintaining the proper functioning of the body.

Replenishing electrolytes is important to avoid fatigue, muscle cramps, and reduced athletic performance. The electrolyte needs vary depending on the intensity of the exercise, the duration of physical activity, the climate, and the individual characteristics of each athlete.
