Carbs Fuel Salted Original 50g Energy Gel
Introducing the Carbs Fuel Salted Original Energy Gel, the all-in-one fuel you need for your most demanding workouts. Each gel packs a powerful punch with 50 grams of carbohydrates and a significant 450 milligrams of sodium, designed to replenish your electrolytes and keep you going strong.
We've stripped away the unnecessary stuff to give you a clean, simple energy source. You won't find any preservatives, gelling agents, or added flavors here. The thin, easy-to-digest consistency and neutral, bright taste make it easy to consume throughout long efforts without the dreaded flavor fatigue.
A single box contains 12 gels, providing a total of 600 grams of carbohydrates and a whopping 5,400 milligrams of sodium—equivalent to the sodium content of about 30 bags of potato chips! Each 200-calorie gel is an efficient way to get the fuel and electrolytes you need.
Despite the name "Salted Original Flavor," there are no artificial flavors. The combination of carbohydrates, acidity regulators, and added sodium from sodium chloride and sodium citrate creates a uniquely delicious salty-sweet taste with a hint of tang. It's a refreshing flavor that's both satisfying and effective.
These gels are vegan-friendly and gluten-free. We've also made them shelf-stable without using any preservatives by carefully balancing the pH and water activity, which is great for athletes who are sensitive to those ingredients.
The simple ingredient list includes water, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose, citric acid, sodium citrate, and sodium chloride. It's a straightforward mix of 2:1 glucose-to-fructose carbohydrates, acidity regulators, and sodium—everything you need for sustained performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I avoid cramping while long-distance cycling?
Cramping is often a sign of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Our Liquid IV products are formulated to combat this common issue among cyclists. Each serving delivers a precise blend of sodium and potassium, crucial electrolytes for maintaining proper muscle function. By incorporating this into your hydration for cyclists strategy, you can significantly reduce the risk of debilitating cramps during your rides.
What makes Liquid IV more effective than just drinking water?
Water is essential, but during intense exercise like cycling, it's often not enough to replace the fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat. Liquid IV utilizes Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) to deliver hydration to your bloodstream more rapidly and efficiently than water alone. With its precise ratio of electrolytes and glucose, it enhances water absorption, making your cycling hydration strategy significantly more effective.
What is the best time to use Carbs Fuel and Liquid IV during a ride?
For optimal results, we recommend a strategic approach to your in-ride nutrition. Begin hydrating with Liquid IV before you even start your ride, and continue to sip it consistently every 15-20 minutes. For rides lasting over 90 minutes, start incorporating Carbs Fuel no later than the first hour to maintain your energy levels. This ensures you have a steady supply of both hydration and carbohydrates for cycling.
Will these cause digestive issues during a ride?
We understand that digestive comfort is paramount for cyclists. That's why Carbs Fuel products are specifically formulated for easy digestion and absorption, even during high-intensity efforts. Unlike many other energy products that can cause bloating or stomach upset, the formula is designed to provide the fuel you need without the discomfort, making it an excellent choice for your cycling energy food.
Are Carbs Fuel and Liquid IV suitable for all types of cyclists?
Absolutely. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend warrior tackling your first century, or a recreational rider enjoying a scenic route, our collection is designed to enhance your performance and enjoyment. The fundamental needs for hydration and energy are universal in cycling, and our products provide a reliable and effective solution for every level of cycling performance.
How much fluid and how many carbohydrates do I need for a long bike ride?
Individual needs can vary based on factors like intensity, duration, and personal sweat rate. However, a good starting point for endurance cycling nutrition is to consume one serving of Liquid IV (or fluid in general) per hour to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. For carbohydrate intake, aim for 30-60 grams per hour, which can be achieved with our Carbs Fuel products. Increasing your carbohydrate intake is shown to improve overall performance, with some professional athletes consuming more than 100 grams per hour!
