Overview

When should cyclists use the SiS GO Energy + Electrolyte Gel?

The SiS GO Energy + Electrolyte Gel combines 22g of fast-absorbing carbohydrates with a meaningful electrolyte dose: 118mg sodium, 9.5mg potassium, and 1.5mg magnesium per gel, making it the right choice when you need to replace both fuel and the electrolytes lost through sweat. Science in Sport designed this gel specifically for long sessions, hot conditions, or high-sweat efforts where the standard GO Isotonic Gel alone is not enough. Note: unlike the GO Isotonic, this gel is not isotonic. The added electrolytes increase its concentration, so consuming it with water is recommended for best results.

The recommended strategy is one GO Energy + Electrolyte Gel alongside two GO Isotonic Energy Gels per hour during exercise lasting over 90 minutes, giving you both the carbohydrate volume and the targeted electrolyte replacement your body needs. The gel can also be consumed before exercise to ensure electrolyte availability for fluid absorption from the start. Informed Sport certified, with every batch tested against the WADA banned substances list. If you are doing long hot rides or sweating heavily, this gel earns a spot in your pocket.
