When should I take H24 Prolong energy gels? Before, during or after exercising?

Energy gels are commonly used during exercise to replenish depleted carbohydrate stores, during long workouts. However, energy gel usage varies by individual.

Carbohydrate stores naturally stored in the body get depleted, typically after 60-90 minutes of intense exercise.

Some athletes take a gel just before starting a run and then at regular intervals during the race. It is important to take a gel before your energy runs out since it needs time to be digested and absorbed into the bloodstream to reach your muscles.

If your exercise is between 1-1.5 hrs, it is recommended to take 1 energy gel 45-60 minutes after you have started your workout.

If your exercise is longer than 1.5 hrs, 2 gels can be taken per hour.

What are the benefits of having a 1:0.8 glucose to fructose ratio?

Glucose and fructose have different ways of working in our bodies. They need to move from the intestines into the blood and then into the muscles and liver, which is where they are needed.

Generally glucose is the preferred carbohydrate, but there is a limit to how much can be handled in our bodies across a period of time. Typically, the ratio of glucose to fructose in energy drinks and gels has been 1:0.5 (= 2:1, 2 g of glucose to 1 g of fructose), however more recently it has been discovered that the more optimal ratio is 1:0.8.

At the 1:0.8 ratio, more fructose can be tolerated therefore a greater total amount of carbohydrate can be provided without causing gastrointestinal upset. Thus, the 1:0.8 ratio, especially at higher intakes rates, is tolerated better and optimal for sports performance.
