What is an isotonic energy gel?
Isotonic means that the gel has the same osmolality as your blood and body cells. In practice, this mainly means that you do not need to drink any water with it.

SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Tropical
A 60 ml sachet, squeezed open during a race or training session. SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Tropical provides 22 grams of carbohydrates per sachet based on maltodextrin, without the need to drink water with it. The flavor is a light tropical taste, somewhere between mango and passion fruit. Gluten-free and aspartame-free, suitable for vegans, and certified by Informed Sport.
What isotonic means in practice
Isotonic is a chemical term meaning that a liquid has the same concentration as your body cells. For an energy gel, this means in practice that you do not need to drink water with it. SiS introduced this principle in 2002 as the first in an energy gel. In 2015, the product won the Queen's Award for Enterprise.
22 grams of carbohydrates based on maltodextrin
The carbohydrate source in this product is maltodextrin, derived from corn starch. Maltodextrin has a lower sweetness than regular sugar, making the gel less sticky and less intense in flavor. During longer exercise, a taste that is too sweet can become unpleasant. Per 60 ml sachet, you get 22 grams of carbohydrates, of which 0.6 grams are sugars. No significant fats or proteins.
No water needed, very practical
Because the gel is isotonic, you do not need to drink water with it. This makes the gel usable at times when a bottle or water station is not available. You can open it during a sprint, halfway up a climb, or in the middle of a race without having to adjust your pace. Take 1 to 3 gels per hour to reach the recommended 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. For a 3.5-hour marathon, this amounts to a total of 10 to 12 gels.
Informed Sport certified, gluten-free and aspartame-free
All SiS GO gels are screened by Informed Sport for prohibited substances from the WADA list for each production batch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-free and aspartame-free. The aromas are of natural origin. No artificial colors in most flavors, except for the orange variant which contains beta-carotene.
This flavor is easy to combine with other flavors if you plan longer sessions with multiple gels per hour. The formula is identical in every flavor, only the aroma and any coloring differ.
Why SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Tropical?
The world's first isotonic energy gel, launched in 2002
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 the same as that of your blood and cells, so you do not need to drink any extra water with it.
22 grams of carbohydrates per sachet, no water needed
Most energy gels require you to drink water with them. That is not necessary with this one, thanks to the isotonic formula.
1 to 3 gels per hour, depending on your exertion
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour during prolonged exercise. That’s 3 gels per hour with intensive use. Each gel provides 22 grams of carbohydrates based on maltodextrin, of which 0.6 grams are sugars. Can be combined with other SiS products in your nutrition plan.
Each Batch Tested by Informed Sport on WADA List
All SiS GO Gels are screened for banned substances by batch as part of the Informed Sport programme. Suitable for vegans, gluten-free, and aspartame-free. No artificial flavours.

Frequently Asked Questions
When and how to use the gel?
Tear open the top of the sachet and squeeze the contents directly into your mouth. Start taking it during exercise lasting longer than 45 to 60 minutes. Take 1 to 3 gels per hour, depending on intensity and duration. In cold conditions, your needs may be higher. You don't need to drink water with it, although you can.
Do you need to drink water with it?
No, that's the point. The isotonic formula makes an extra sip of water unnecessary. This is useful if you don't want to stop at a water station during a race or if you don't have a water bottle with you. Of course, do drink normally throughout the day, but the gel itself works without extra fluid.
How many gels do you need for a marathon or long ride?
For any activity lasting more than an hour, the guideline is 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. That translates to 3 gels per hour at the higher end of that range. For a 3.5-hour marathon, you would therefore need a total of 10 to 12 gels. If you combine them with other food, the number of gels will adjust accordingly.
What is maltodextrin and why is it in the gel?
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate derived from corn starch. It has a lower sweetness compared to regular sugar, making the gel less sticky and less intensely sweet than sugar-based gels. It is widely used in sports energy gels.
What is the difference compared to a regular energy gel?
Regular gels are often concentrated and hypertonic, so you usually drink water with them. The SiS GO gel is isotonic, so you do not need to drink any extra water with it.
