Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key ingredients in FANTÉ natural energy gels?
When buying natural energy gels to improve your athletic performance, you should consider their ingredients:
- Carbohydrate intakeSports energy gels typically contain a mixture of carbohydrates, such as maltodextrin, fructose, glucose, cyclodextrin, and palatinose, which provide both a fast and slow source of energy for working muscles. Maltodextrin and fructose are the carbohydrates with the strongest scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness.
- Electrolyte intakeSports gels may also include electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to help maintain fluid, mineral, and salt balance in the body during exercise. They also aid in the transport of carbohydrates from the intestines to our cells.
- Other ingredientsSome gels may contain additional amino acids, antioxidants, or vitamins, but there is no scientific evidence to support this and they should not be included in sports gels, especially not for long distances.

Can energy gels cause side effects?
Yes, energy gels are safe when consumed correctly and according to the usage recommendations. However, it's important to take precautions, such as choosing gels with well-studied and safe carbohydrates, like maltodextrin and fructose, and avoiding unnecessary additives such as BCAAs, flavorings, or preservatives. This ensures greater safety and effectiveness when consumed.
Although sports gels are generally safe, some can cause side effects such as stomach upset or digestive problems. This often occurs when using gels with multiple types of carbohydrates, such as cyclodextrin or palatinose. Gels containing only fast-absorbing carbohydrates, such as maltodextrin, glucose, or glucose syrup, can cause intestinal issues.
The human intestine is saturated with 60 grams of carbohydrates per unit per hour, which means that if you consume more fast-absorbing carbohydrates, the excess accumulates in the intestine for a longer time, which can cause discomfort such as tingling, flatulence, tiredness, or lack of energy.
That's why our energy gel stands out as the most minimalist in the world, providing only the essentials to optimize athletes' performance without causing unwanted side effects.
When should you not consume sports energy gels?
It is preferable to avoid consuming sports gels in situations of allergies to their ingredients, health problems, or when an additional source of energy is not needed.
