Enervit IsoCarb

Distributor: Chicken CycleKit

Developed in partnership with UAE and Trek Segafredo following increasing awareness around the nutritional strategies of athletes. The IsoCarb 2:1 uses Maltodextrin DE1 Agenanova, providing 60g of carbohydrates with a 2:1 ratio of glucose/fructose in 500ml while maintaining isotonic concentration.

Each has a different absorption rate, giving this gel the ability to provide both fast and slow release energy in a single sachet. No water required, these 25ml gels are designed to be super simple, fast & effective ways of giving your body the energy it needs during endurance activities, also featuring a straw for ease-of-use.

Skratch Labs Anytime Energy Bars

Distributor: Silverfish UK

Powerful enough for endurance workouts, but tasty enough for a snack any time of day. Made with real ingredients like oats, nut butter, sea salt, brown rice crisps and quinoa.

Plant-based ingredients make for easier digestion, fast absorption, sustained energy and contain 50% less sugar compared to other leading bar brands.

Science in Sport Turbo+ Gel and Powder

Distributor: Madison

Indoor training is more popular than ever, and the hard, intense intervals that characterise indoor training and racing place specific demands on the body.
