REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PERFORMANCE WITH OUR NATURAL ORGANIC ENERGY GELS!
What are Baouw energy gels?
Our energy gels are an ideal solution for improving your sporting performance, whether you're running, cycling, trail running or doing other endurance sports. Formulated with ingredients of natural origin, they have been designed to provide you with the energy you need for your efforts, at all times! As part of your winter runs, of your sport outings when it's hot, during a 10 km or ultra-trail, Baouw energy gels are there to support you and give you the boost you need to go even further.
Good AND healthy energy gels
These are not just ‘energy gels’, as we often hear. They're healthy, organic products designed for athletes looking for a natural alternative to traditional gels filled with glucose syrup and maltodextrin. And we don't want either of those at Baouw, because with their glycemic index high, they guarantee a rapid insulin peak... and a subsequent slump.
Flavours to suit all tastes
The recipes have been devised by our two Michelin-starred chef Yoann Conte and our nutritionist Benoit Nave: two experts at the service of your sports nutrition ! Because we believe that practising your favourite sport doesn't mean you have to swallow bland energy gels, our gels come in a range of delicious, natural flavours:
- 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!
A versatile energy concentrate for your sporting activities
Our energy gels are extremely versatile... but also ultra-effective! What's more, they come in a practical, resealable format, so they're easy to take anywhere and consume during your training sessions or competitions.
They also stand out for their ability to adapt to different sports:
- if you're a runner, they'll help you maintain your pace over long distances.
- Marathon runners will particularly appreciate our energy gel for its endurance-boosting properties.
- For cyclists, our small pouches are perfect for long bike rides, in the mountains or on the plain.
- Trail runners will also appreciate our gels, designed for running in the great outdoors.
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, your Baouw are there for intense effort as well as for long-term competition, not forgetting training. A good boost for your energy reserves !
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.
Testimonials from champions: they've tested (and approved!) our energy gels!
Several top sportsmen and women use our energy gels. Thibaut Baronian, French Trail Running Champion, says:
‘These gels have enabled me to maintain a constant level of performance throughout my season. They are easy to digest and their composition is ideal for our discipline.’
For her part, Loana Lecomte, a champion cyclist and mountain biker, also uses our energy gels, mainly to optimise her performance during training and competitions.
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.
Our gels contain no chemicals or unnecessary additives. In other words, they're a healthy source of energy! And that's why we've called on a luxury cast for each of our sports drinks. To give you enough energy, you can count on our carbohydrate stars: agave syrup and fruit purées. If that's not a natural carbohydrate!
And this energy gel is self-sufficient?
Finally, because it's important that you don't lack anything during your sports session, the Baouw team has also thought about your hydration. Having energy during exercise is great, but if you're not sufficiently hydrated, your sweat losses can't be compensated for. So don't hesitate to take along our electrolyte tablets to be diluted in 500 ml of water. The result is a drink that's all about hydration! And if you combine it with our energy gels, you've got a powerful duo to boost your performance.
Our FAQ dedicated to our energy gels
How do I use an energy gel?
Getting the most out of our energy gels is very simple. We recommend using 1 to 2 per hour, depending on the intensity of your effort. You can take them neat or diluted in water (1 energy gel for a 500 ml flask) to make a natural energy drink. Whether you're preparing for a competition or in the middle of a training session, our gels will provide you with the energy you need to excel.
How do I keep my stock of energy gels between sessions?
At Baouw, we like to get straight to the point. So there's no need to worry about your brain: you can store your energy gels in a dry place, away from light and heat.
Is the gel different from Baouw energy compotes?
We've designed our energy gels to complement our range of healthy snacks for sportspeople. Your body will particularly benefit from them during short, intense exercise, i.e. between 30 minutes and 3h30 (give or take!). In the context of ultra-endurance, when chewing becomes difficult and your carbohydrate reserves start to run dry, they will also provide the support and boost you need, especially if you eat them alternately with our energy purees and our bars. So you get all the micronutrients you need.
