How long do energy gels take to work?
Energy gels typically start working within 5 to 15 minutes after consumption, as the body quickly processes carbohydrates, directing them into the bloodstream. The speed can vary depending on the type of gel; isotonic gels may be absorbed faster due to their formulation that closely matches the body’s fluid balance. This worsens dehydration and can cause unpleasant symptoms like cramping, bloating and diarrhea. Drink plenty of water when taking energy gels to keep yourself well hydrated throughout intense exercise. Don’t Drink Sports Drinks – Don’t combine sports drinks and energy gels.Energy gels are designed to provide a quick and convenient source of carbohydrates during training and racing. For some athletes, though, they can also bring unwanted side effects such as bloating, nausea, cramping or an urgent need for the toilet. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.
