Whether you're running a marathon, cycling around the city, or gearing up for your next race, having the right fuel can make all the difference. Introducing the Herbaland Energy Gel! Made for runners, cyclists and other endurance sports players who demand performance and quality ingredients. Herbaland’s Energy Gel is made with 100 calories, 24g of carbs and comes in two easy-to-stomach flavours, Lemon Lime and Unflavoured.
What Makes Herbaland Energy Gels Different?
We worked with local marathon runners to help develop the most optimal product available on the market, and for a reasonable price.
The Macros
The Herbaland Energy Gel was made to give you a boost of energy, as well as maintain energy levels throughout your race. Each gel is 100 calories, and has 24g of carbs and 16g of sugar. The sugar content is made of 2 different sugars, fructose and glucose, delivering a quick energy boost. Maltodextrin has also been added to support a steady release of energy. Herbaland gels are also caffeine free, relying solely on the carb and sugar content as energy, and preventing stomach and anxiety issues during your race.
The Flavours
While flavour is not always the most important when it comes to energy gels, it is important for your gut. If you’re running a full marathon you could be eating anywhere between 5-10 energy gels in one race. Consuming a gel over and over again with a flavour that doesn’t agree with you can make you feel nauseous. That’s why we chose two mild flavours, that aren’t sickeningly sweet or too strong. Our lemon lime and unflavoured energy gels are easy on the gut, but still taste great.
The Texture
Unlike a lot of current gels on the market that are too thick, making it hard to consume while you run and leave you feeling like you need water to wash it all down, Herbaland’s Energy Gels are made into the perfect texture, no water needed! They aren’t too liquidy, and aren’t too thick, just right!
The Packaging
We chose a rectangular pouch over a bottle shaped pouched due to the advantage it can give you. With a rectangular pouch you’re able to easily consume your energy gels, without struggle. The rectangular shape also allows for better storage, which is important when you don’t have many pockets or limited bag space while you exercise.
Made in Canada
The Herbaland Energy Gel is one of only a few Canadian energy gels currently on the market. Not only is it Canadian owned, the energy gels are also made in Canada, right here in Richmond, BC! Supporting local Canadian businesses is so important right now, given the current political climate and current tariffs.
The Price
Another unbeatable feature of the Herbaland Energy Gels is the price! Herbaland Energy Gels are the best bang for your buck. You won’t find the same quality and price anywhere else. Most energy gel brands charge $3.50 per gel, whereas Herbaland’s Energy Gels cost $2.50 per gel! This makes for the perfect product, for the perfect price.
Who Should Take Energy Gels?
Energy gels are most commonly taken by athletes who do high endurance sports such as running and cycling, but they can be used in many different sports. Energy gels provide a quick carb boost which can be beneficial to any sport, such as hockey or even football. If you find yourself drained of energy during your sport, try out an energy gel next time!
How to Use
Consume one gel 15 minutes before your workout or race. For extended activities, take one gel every 30-45 minutes to maintain energy levels. Just rip the tab open, and enjoy!
