A 60ml sachet, to squeeze during a race or training. SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Lemon & Lime provides 22 grams of carbohydrates per sachet from maltodextrin, without the need to drink water. The flavour is a refreshing citrus note, light and not too sweet. Gluten-free and aspartame-free, suitable for vegans, certified by Informed Sport.
Isotonic is a scientific term that indicates a liquid has the same concentration as the cells in your body. For an energy gel, this means the stomach does not need to draw in extra fluid to dilute the gel before passing it through. This is what happens with most classic gels, and sometimes causes a feeling of bloating. With an isotonic gel, the product leaves the stomach faster and carbohydrates are available more quickly. SiS introduced this principle in 2002, a world first for an energy gel. In 2015, the product won the Queen's Award for Enterprise.
The energy source of this product is maltodextrin, derived from corn starch. Maltodextrin has a lower sweetening power than ordinary sugar, which makes the gel less sticky and less intense in taste. This is a deliberate choice. During prolonged efforts, taste fatigue is a real problem and a too-sweet gel then works against you. Per 60ml sachet, you get 22 grams of carbohydrates with only 0.6 grams of sugar. No significant amounts of fat or protein.
Since the gel is isotonic, you don't need to drink water with it. This makes the gel usable when a bottle or aid station is not within reach. You can open it during a sprint, in the middle of a climb, or during a race without having to adapt your pace. Take 1 to 3 gels per hour to reach the recommended 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. For a 3h30 marathon, this represents 10 to 12 gels in total.
All SiS GO gels are batch-tested by Informed Sport for prohibited substances on the WADA list. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-free and aspartame-free. Flavours are of natural origin. No artificial colours in most flavours, with the exception of the orange variant which contains beta-carotene.
The lemon and lime flavour is one of the most refreshing variants in the range, easy to combine with other flavours if you plan longer sessions with multiple gels per hour. The formula is identical in each flavour; only the aroma and any colouring differ.
SiS introduced this gel in 2002 as the world's first isotonic energy gel. In 2015, the product won the Queen's Award for Enterprise. Isotonic means that the concentration of the gel is equal to that of your blood and cells, so the stomach can process it quickly without drawing in extra fluid.
Most energy gels require you to drink water. This one does not. The isotonic formula means the gel exits the stomach quickly without extra fluid. Less risk of feeling bloated during exercise, more focus on your pace.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour during prolonged effort. This equates to 3 gels per hour with intensive use. Each gel provides 22 grams of maltodextrin-based carbohydrates, with virtually no sugar (0.6 grams). Combine with other SiS products in your nutrition plan.
All SiS GO Gels are batch tested for banned substances by Informed Sport. Suitable for vegans, gluten-free, wheat-free, nut-free, soya-free, and lactose-free.

Isotonic means that the gel has the same osmolality as your blood and cells. The stomach therefore doesn't need to draw in additional fluid to process it, which is normally required with concentrated gels. The result: the gel leaves the stomach faster, and the carbohydrates become available more quickly. You also don't need to drink water with it.
Tear off the top of the sachet and squeeze the contents directly into your mouth. Start taking it during exercise lasting more than 45 to 60 minutes. Take 1 to 3 gels per hour, depending on intensity and duration. In cold weather, your needs may be higher. You do not need to drink water with it, although it is possible.
No, that's precisely the point. The isotonic formula makes an extra sip of water superfluous. This is convenient when you don't want to stop at every aid station during a race or if you don't have a water bottle. Of course, drink normally throughout the day, but the gel itself works without additional liquid.
For efforts lasting more than an hour, the recommendation is 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. This means 3 gels per hour at the upper limit. For a 3h30 marathon, you would therefore need a total of 10 to 12 gels. If you combine them with other foods, adjust the number of gels accordingly.
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate derived from corn starch. It has a low sweetening power compared to regular sugar, making the gel less sticky and less intensely sweet than sugar-based gels. Your body quickly converts it into glucose. This is precisely why it is used in sports energy gels.
Conventional gels are often concentrated and hypertonic, meaning your stomach draws fluid to dilute the gel. This takes time and increases the risk of stomach upset. SiS GO gel is isotonic, so this step is eliminated. The result: faster absorption and less risk of bloating. This makes a difference during intense exercise or if you have a sensitive stomach.
