More and more athletes are turning to functional nutrition as a key strategy to improve their performance and speed up their recovery. In this context, a recent study has shown that a moderate and healthy intake of carbohydrates can increase endurance by up to 20% during high-intensity and long-duration physical activities. With this premise, Quinton BioTech Labs has launched its new line of Quinton Sport energy gels, specifically designed to meet the needs of endurance athletes.
This innovative range of energy gels combines cold microfiltered seawater with carbohydrates of natural origin, offering a solution that not only optimizes available energy, but also minimizes digestive problems and dehydration. These gels are intended to be used by people of all ages and levels of physical activity, being especially useful in high-energy consumption disciplines such as running, cycling, and triathlon.
Aware of the importance of proper nutrition in sports performance, Quinton relies on the findings of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. This organization asserts that adequate consumption of healthy carbohydrates before and during exercise is crucial, especially in endurance sports where avoiding premature fatigue and maintaining proper hydration are essential goals. Thus, the use of natural sources and electrolytes contributes to better energy management and reduces blood sugar spikes that can affect performance.
The Quinton Sport energy gels are formulated with rice syrup and agave syrup, allowing for a gradual release of energy without the sudden glucose spikes associated with other products. Additionally, enriched with minerals from seawater, they help delay muscle fatigue, a much-appreciated aspect by athletes.
Isaac López, Director of Communication and Marketing at Quinton BioTech Labs, emphasized that these gels are the response to a growing demand for natural options in the sports industry. “We have developed a product that becomes essential for the endurance athlete, consolidating Quinton Sport as the top choice in the market,” he emphasized.
The company has also launched two versions of gels: one without caffeine, ideal for maintaining optimal energy levels, and another with 100 mg of caffeine, designed to provide an additional boost in intense workouts or competitions. Both products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as well as free from gluten, lactose, soy, and genetically modified organisms.
Consumption recommendations are specific: it is suggested to take one gel before activities lasting less than an hour, between two and three gels for sessions lasting between one and two hours, and up to four gels for workouts exceeding two hours, being able to combine the versions according to the energy needs of the moment.
With these gels, Quinton Sport stands out for offering natural carbohydrates that provide sustainable energy and for its ability to prevent dehydration through natural hydration with essential minerals. This convenience allows for quick absorption without the need for additional water. Through these innovative products, Quinton Sport reaffirms its commitment to functional and healthy sports nutrition, helping athletes reach their full potential without compromising their well-being.
