The most popular energy gel
When we talk about energy intake, few energy gels are as popular as 4Energy. And it is not difficult to understand why:
• quick effect ✔️
• amazing freshness ✔️

• doesn't need water ✔️
If you are a runner, cyclist, or triathlete, the energy gel 4Energy is made just for you.
"4Energy gives me fast energy and doesn't need water."
Mitja Krevs, Slovene 10 km National Champion
Quick source of energy
The energy gel 4Energy is based on maltodextrin, a less sweet complex carbohydrate, and fructose.
It is a combination of two types of sugars, which together have much higher absorption than a single type of sugar. Why? Because this way they make use of both carbohydrate transporters in the body.
This also relieves the digestive tract, which drastically reduces chance of digestive issues.
• Quick energy access ✔️
• High absorption level ✔️
• No digestive issues ✔️
This is the energy gel 4Energy.
"I don't like gels that stick in your mouth. 4Energy is liquid and refreshing."
Matej Lovše, 3x Amateur Cycling World Champion
No digestive issues
Perhaps you have already tried a gel and ended up hurting your digestion. We understand. That's why we have created the energy gel 4Energy.
Digestive issues are the most annoying consequence of many dietary supplements, especially energy gel, which are full of artificial sweeteners, glucose syrup, and with only a single type of carbohydrates.
The energy gel 4Energy doesn't cause digestive issues!
• Two types of carbohydrates ✔️
• No artificial sweeteners ✔️
• No magnesium ✔️
We had been waiting for a long time for an energy gel we could consume without fear. The wait was pointless. That's why we took control and created the energy gel 4Energy.
This is a gel you can trust.
"My needs are diverse, so I need efficient solutions. That's 4Energy gel."
Miran Bole, Italian locomotive
No water needed
One of the main benefits of an energy gel is its practicality. Full pockets of gels = plenty of energy.
Well, in theory. In practice, you need liters of water to wash down all the artificial sweeteners.
The energy gel 4Energy doesnt need water to be used!
This means you can take care of your energy intake as intended. Practical and efficient.
"A lipstick in my bag? No. But there's always a few 4Energy gels."
Paola Borović, multiple Croatioan triple jump national champion
Fresh and natural taste
The sweetener in the energy gel 4Energy is freshly-squeezed fruit juice. This is why this gel is natural, fresh, and mild.
You can choose between 6 fruit flavors!

"Effective, tasty, extremely drinkable. What else can I say?"
Tim Gošnjak, winner of Ironman Poreč 2022
Two types of carbohydrates
Glucose and fructose
Your body can absorb 60 grams of glucose and 30 grams of fructose per hour. If you use only one source of carbs, your upper limit is 60 grams per hour, and a higher intake leads to digestive issues.
A combination of glucose and fructose enables the use of both carbohydrate transporters in the body, which increases absorption to 90 grams per hour without digestive issues.
Maltodextrin
There's a lot of talk about maltodextrin lately. Maybe you wonder why it's become so popular.
Maltodextrin is composed by glucose molecules, but it has lower concentration (osmolarity), which alleviates digestion. In comparison to glucose, it has better absorption and a less sweet taste in the mouth.
Furthermore, maltodextrin has an extremely high glycemic index, which is a huge benefit during intense exercise when you want your body to use as quickly as possible an external source of energy instead of its own glycogen stores.
Maltodextrin benefits:
• quick and efficient absorption ❗
• less sweet taste for better drinkability ❗
• doesn't cause stomach discomfort ❗
Regarding sugar intake, that is energy intake, maltodextrin is the best option. It is especially useful in combination with fructose, as it neutralizes its naturally sweet flavor.
Comparison of sugars
Maltodextrin is the best source of energy
This chart compares the increase in blood sugar levels after consumption of sucrose, glucose, maltodextrin, and isomaltulose.
As you can see, maltodextrin provides the highest spike in blood sugar levels, which translates into the quickest and highest absorption of energy.
Frequently asked questions
When should I use the 4Energy gel?
The energy gel 4Energy is intended for energy intake during intense exercise.
For best results consume 2 to 3 energy gels per hour of exercise.
Is this energy gel vegan friendly?
Yes, the energy gel 4Energy can be used by both vegetarians and vegans, as it doesn't contain any ingredients of animal origin.
What's the source of carbohydrates in the gel?
This gel contains a combination of maltodextrin and fructose.
This combination enables the use of both carbohydrate transporters in the body, which leads to better absorption and less digestive issues.
Does the gel cause digestive issues?
Many energy gels cause digestive issues, as they are full of artificial sweeteners and various additives and usually contain only one type of carbohydrates and incorrect concentrations of minerals.
The energy gel 4Energy contains maltodextrin and fructose, which use both carbohydrate transporters in the body, improving absorption and alleviating digestion.
Furthermore, the energy gel 4Energy does not contain artificial sweeteners, colorants, or flavor enhancers.
Who is 4Energy intended for?
Energy gels in general are intended for all endurance athletes and other athletes who need an energy intake during exercise.
The energy gel 4Energy is made specifically for athletes, and its main purpose is to provide a fast source of energy that is use to consume and doesn't cause digestive issues.
Why it is important that it doesn't need water?
If the energy gel is too dense, it is hard to consume, especially during intense exercise and when you need to consume several gels one after another.
Wash down gels with water is not practical, as you need to carry all that liquid with you. It is also not pleasant, as, especially during exercise, it is really annoying if a gel sticks in our mouth.
The energy gel 4Energy is liquid and refreshing, so you can consume it without issues even in larger quantities without the need for a liquid.
What is the difference between maltodextrin and glucose?
Maltodextrin is a chain of glucose molecules with a very high glycemic index (higher than glucose), which makes it an excellent source of quick energy during intense exercise.
Maltodextrin is less sweet than glucose, which is especially useful in combination with the naturally sweet fructose.
Maltodextrin has a lower concentration (osmolarity) than glucose, which positively influences your digestive tract.
Is 4Energy ok for young athletes?
Yes.
The energy gel 4Energy does not contain artificial sweeteners, colorants, or flavor enhancers and contains an insignificant quantity of thickeners. Its flavor derives from the natural flavor of the juice. This makes it totally acceptable for children and young athletes.
However, you need to adjust the energy intake to the needs of the younger athletes, and we recommened the supervision of an adult person.
4Energy Gel belongs to a new generation of energy gels for cyclists , triathletes and runners , which were designed in response to the shortcomings of existing gels.
4Energy Gel is refreshing, does not cause digestive problems, and does not require water for use.
Its main components are:
✔️ maltodextrin
✔️ fructose
✔️ freshly squeezed fruit juice
✔️ electrolytes in the form of salts
The best source of carbohydrates is one that can be easily dosed (without a time delay) and does not cause digestive problems.
MALTODEXTRIN
Maltodextrin is a chain of glucose molecules that, despite its complex structure, has an extremely high glycemic index. Rapid availability is essential, as your body needs an external energy source to slow down glycogen consumption.
Maltodextrin is less sweet than glucose, oxidizes quickly during exercise, and its biggest advantage is that, despite the huge amount of energy gels consumed, it does not cause digestive problems.
TWO TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES
4Energy Gel contains two types of carbohydrates: glucose (maltodextrin) and fructose.
Your body can absorb 60 grams of glucose and 30 grams of fructose per hour. Since glucose and fructose use different carbohydrate carriers in the body, this allows you to absorb up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour.
4Energy Gel is a quick source of energy that does not cause digestive problems and does not require water for use.
AUTHENTIC AND NATURAL TASTE
Another advantage of 4Energy Gel is its authentic, fresh, relatively mild taste, which you will not get tired of. Freshly squeezed fruit juice and the perfect density means that you don't need any water to consume it.
4Energy Gel does not contain artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavor enhancers, as fructose strengthens the natural taste of the juice.
For best results, consume one 4Energy Gel every 20 minutes of exercise.
