organic energy gels

The first energy gels of natural origin, healthy and effective, designed to revolutionize your performance!

One gel approximately every 30 minutes, depending on the intensity of the effort. To be consumed pure or diluted in 500ml of water.

The pouches can be consumed pure or diluted in water, while the sticks offer a compact format and a more concentrated carbohydrate intake, particularly suitable for moments when the intensity increases.

What are Baouw gels?

Baouw energy gels: a 100% healthy revolution! No more digestion issues, energy slumps, chemical aftertastes, and long-term health risks associated with the consumption of ultra-processed products.

Our energy gels are an ideal solution to enhance your sports performance, whether you practice running, cycling, trail running, or other endurance sports. Formulated with natural origin ingredients, they are designed to provide you with the energy needed for effort, at any time! As part of your winter runs, your sports sessions when it's hot, during a 10 km or an ultra-trail, Baouw energy gels accompany you and give you a boost to go even further.

Good AND healthy energy gels

These are not just "energy gels", as is often said. But truly organic and healthy products, designed for athletes looking for a natural alternative to classic gels filled with glucose syrup and questionable maltodextrin. And we don't want those two at Baouw, because with their high glycemic index, they guarantee a quick insulin spike... and a subsequent slump.

Energy gel in a pouch or in a stick?

The gel pouches can be consumed pure or diluted in water, while the sticks offer a compact format and a more concentrated carbohydrate intake, particularly suited for moments when intensity increases. 

The pouch version: versatility and naturalness

The recipes are created by our two Michelin-star chef Yoann Conte and our nutritionist Benoit Nave: two experts at the service of your sports nutrition ! Because we believe that practicing your favorite discipline does not condemn you to swallow tasteless energy gels, our pouches come in several delicious and natural flavors, with a pleasant applesauce texture:

• Red fruits - Hibiscus

• Apricot - Thyme

• Peach - Matcha Tea

• Banana - Vanilla

• Pineapple - Coconut

• Lime - Mint

Whether you swear by the distinctive taste of lime, love the subtlety of hibiscus, feel the sunshine in the pineapple-coconut duo or go for the sweetness of banana, there's no doubt that our range of organic energy gels will satisfy your cravings! 

The resealable pouch can be taken pure, in several servings, or diluted in your flask to make a natural energy drink. It adapts to all needs and all sports practices.

The gel in stick: compact and performance-oriented

Aware that a trail vest or a cycling jersey offers little space for your snacks, the Baouw team thought of everything by developing a compact version of energy gels. A more practical version in the field, easy to draw and swallow, with a small difference: where our pouch formats prioritize natural ingredients, our sticks are more performance-oriented. Always organic, of course, but with cassava maltodextrin to increase carbohydrate concentration. Small, but tough! 

Let's talk about the flavors offered, designed to delight the palates of all types of athletes: 

• Cerise-guarana (caffeine boost - 50 mg)

• Caramel (sodium boost - 300 mg)

• Framboise-Grenade

• Citron-Yuzu 

Energy gels serving endurance athletes

Our energy gels are extremely versatile… but also ultra effective! Moreover, they feature a practical and resealable format, which makes them easy to carry everywhere and consume during your training sessions or in competition. They also stand out for their ability to adapt to different endurance and outdoor sports.

Whatever your sport, we've got a range to suit you! Why should we? Quite simply because it helps you achieve your sporting goals by providing long-lasting, effective energy. Basically, our energy gels are there for intense effort as well as for long-term competition, not forgetting training. A good boost for your

Easy supplies for runners

If you do running, our energy gels will help you maintain your pace over long distances. 

It is during long outings, intense sessions, and competitions that the energy gel makes the most sense, when the kilometers pile up and you want to keep your pace until the end. This is where the energy stick makes a difference. Slipped into a pocket of your shorts or a running belt, it doesn't weigh you down and can be pulled out in one motion, without breaking your stride. 

A marathon in sight? No room for a slump with Baouw gel!

Marathon runners will particularly appreciate our energy gel for its help with endurance. Over 42 km, your glycogen stores can deplete after about 90 minutes of intense effort, hence the importance of a nutritional strategy planned in advance, rather than waiting for a drop in performance. We recommend about 60 g of carbohydrates per hour, depending on your tolerance and body type. With 30 g of carbohydrates per gel, a regular intake every 30 minutes or so allows you to get close to this, alternating with our energy purees. In terms of timing, keep the energy bar for before the start, about 30 minutes before the gun goes off. 

In trail and ultra-trail, our organic energy gels allow you to vary your sources of energy

Trail enthusiasts trail will also appreciate our gels, designed for outdoor races. On steep or intense sections, when breath is lacking to chew, the energy gel takes over. On smoother sections, downhill, at the beginning or end of the race, it's time for bars and purees.

In a context of ultra-endurance, when chewing becomes complicated and your carbohydrate reserves start to run low, they will also provide you with the support and boost you need, especially if you consume them alternately with our energy purees and our bars. This way, you give yourself all the micronutrients you need. And over the hours, alternating textures and flavors, sweet and savory, also helps to avoid palate fatigue.

Thibaut Baronian, French champion of short trail, testifies: « These gels allowed me to maintain a constant level of performance throughout my season. They are easy to digest and their composition is ideal for our discipline. »

In cycling, compact energy accessible at bottle reach

For cyclists, our pouches and sticks are perfect for long bike rides, in the mountains as well as in the plains. The stick slips into the back pocket of the jersey and can be swallowed without letting go of the handlebars for long. As for the pouch, you can also dilute it directly in your 500 ml bottle to make a natural energy drink, to sip along the kilometers.

Loana Lecomte, a champion cyclist and mountain biker, also uses our energy gels, mainly to optimise her performance during training and competitions.

Our organic energy gels, the ideal for a solid nutritional strategy during your triathlon

In triathlon, each discipline has its energy needs and ideal format. At the exit of the water, an energy puree during the transition helps to restart the machine. On the bike, alternate bars, purees, and gels according to duration and intensity. If the effort is sustained, split your intake, for example every 20 minutes. Finally, on the running part, we switch to liquid and semi-liquid: gels, purees, and energy drinks. The energy stick, compact and quick to swallow, finds its place to maintain your pace until the finish line. 

A healthy composition to enhance your performance

Our energy gels are made from 100% natural and certified organic ingredients. They contain an average of 60% fruit, agave syrup and extra virgin olive oil, as well as spices and aromatic plants for a unique taste. 

Let’s clarify that our gels do not contain chemicals or unnecessary additives. In other words, it results in a healthy source of energy! And for that, we have called on a luxury cast for each of our pouches dedicated to athletes. To give you enough energy, you can count on our carbohydrate stars, namely the agave syrup and fruit purees. If that’s not natural carbohydrate! On the stick side, the same requirement: a carbohydrate base from agave and cassava, and always without additives (potassium sorbate, lecithin, gums…). 

Formulated with natural antioxidants, our antioxidant gels help to protect your muscles. Among other things, from damage caused by free radicals produced during intense effort. So they're perfect for maintaining consistent, prolonged performance without a dip in performance.

But our energy gels don't stop there! They have been designed to be easy to digest, hence their natural composition. Thanks to agave syrup (GI 15), they are quickly absorbed without any glycaemic peaks. So they're ideal for avoiding sudden bouts of fatigue during your competitions or training sessions.

Energy gel and hydration: the good reflexes to adopt during effort

Having energy during effort is great, but if you are insufficiently hydrated, your sweat losses cannot be compensated. So, don’t hesitate to take our electrolyte tablets to dilute in 500 ml of water (this is actually exactly the amount that our expert Benoît Nave recommends you drink every hour of effort). Depending on the heat, duration, and intensity of your outing, this electrolyte reflex becomes even more relevant. At stake, a drink that focuses on hydration! And if you combine it with our energy gels, you benefit from a powerful duo, serving your performance.

How to use your energy gel to get the best out of it?

To make the most of our energy gels, it's very simple. It is recommended to use 1 to 2 per hour depending on the intensity of your effort. You can take them pure or diluted in water for the pouch format (1 energy gel for a 500 ml flask) to make a natural energy drink. The stick, on the other hand, is consumed pure, directly out of the pocket. Whether you are preparing for a competition or in the middle of a training session, our gels will provide you with the energy needed to excel. 

Our caffeine gel: small stick, big effect!

In the stick range, there is one that has a little something extra: the energy gel Cherry - Guarana. In its 44 g, it brings together everything we expect from a Baouw energy stick, namely 30 g of carbohydrates from agave and cassava syrups, a pinch of Camargue salt, and no additives. But it contains as a bonus 50 mg of caffeine provided by an extract of guarana, one of its natural sources. In terms of taste, the cherry adds a fruity and indulgent touch, far from any chemical aftertaste.

It is designed for efforts during which you want to integrate caffeine into your sports strategy. It can increase alertness and change the perception of effort; however, it does not eliminate fatigue and provides virtually no energy as such, unlike carbohydrates. For long efforts, prefer spaced intakes.

Test it first during training, never for the first time in competition, and be cautious if you are sensitive to caffeine or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. To learn more, discover our article caffeine and sport.
