SIS Caffeine Energy Gels

SiS Caffeine Energy Gels: isotonic gel with carbohydrates and caffeine

The SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel + Caffeine is a variant of the well-known GO gel from Science in Sport. Each 60 ml gel contains 22 grams of carbohydrates from maltodextrin and a fixed amount of caffeine: 75 mg in the Cola and Berry flavours, and 150 mg in the Double Espresso flavour.

The gels are intended for adult endurance athletes, such as runners, cyclists and triathletes, who want to use a gel with caffeine during their training or competition. Below you will read what is in them, how the variants differ and what to pay attention to.

What is in a SiS caffeine gel?

Each gel contains 22 grams of carbohydrates from maltodextrin and 75 or 150 mg of caffeine, depending on the flavour. The gels contain no fat. You can find the full list of ingredients and nutritional value on the product page and on the packaging.

The variants: Cola, Berry and Double Espresso

The Cola and Berry gels contain 75 mg of caffeine per gel, approximately the amount in a cup of coffee. The Double Espresso gel contains 150 mg of caffeine per gel and is intended for adult athletes who are accustomed to caffeine.

Do you need water with these gels?

No. Just like the standard SiS GO Isotonic Gels, the caffeine variants are isotonic. This means that the concentration is comparable to that of body fluids, so you do not need to drink water with them.

When do you use a caffeine gel?

Many athletes use a caffeine gel later in a training session or competition, in addition to regular gels without caffeine. Always try a caffeine gel during a training session first and follow the directions for use on the packaging.

How many caffeine gels per day?

Take your total caffeine intake for the day into account, including coffee, energy drinks or pre-workout. According to EFSA, an intake of up to 400 mg of caffeine per day is not a cause for concern for healthy adults. Caffeine-containing gels are not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Caffeine gel or regular gel?

The carbohydrate content is the same as that of the regular SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel: 22 grams per gel. The only difference is the added caffeine and the flavour. View all variants in our SiS Gels collection.
