SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gels - Box of 30
When should cyclists use the SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gel Box of 30?
The SiS GO Energy + Caffeine Gel Box of 30 gives you a full season's supply of race-ready caffeine gels, each with 22g of fast-absorbing carbohydrate in the format built for the hardest moments of training and racing. Science in Sport put this gel on the same carbohydrate platform as the GO Isotonic Gel, then added caffeine to lower your perception of effort and sharpen focus when fatigue sets in. Berry, Citrus, and Orange each carry 75mg per gel, roughly one cup of coffee. Double Espresso carries 150mg, double the standard dose, so choose that box deliberately rather than by flavor. Note that this gel is not isotonic, because the added caffeine raises its concentration, so take it with water.
Use one gel 30 minutes before short, intense efforts, or one to two gels toward the end of long endurance events when alertness and power output start to fade. Caffeine has been extensively documented to improve endurance performance by reducing perceived effort and increasing concentration late in a race. Do not exceed four gels per day, and count a Double Espresso as the double dose it is. Informed Sport certified, every batch tested against the WADA banned substances list. The 30 pack is the right buy for athletes who use caffeine gels strategically across multiple training sessions and races.
