Hydrogel Science

High-carb fuel in a soft gel

Hydrogel is designed to help mitigate GI discomfort and bypass the fueling limitations that prevent an athlete from achieving their potential. Hydrogels enable high concentrations of carbohydrates to be more tolerable to athletes during high-intensity training and racing.

AK47 Hydrogel uses alginate extracted from seaweed to create a unique protective structure of the honey and carbohydrates. What you end up getting is an actual gel (not a runny syrup) that passes the gut to be adsorbed into the small intestines for quick and easy distribution to your muscles.
