SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Fruit Salad is designed to provide readily available carbohydrates during physical activity. The gel is based on maltodextrin and provides a clear serving of 22 grams of carbohydrates, making it easy to plan energy intake during workouts and races.

Unlike more concentrated energy gels, SiS GO Isotonic has a thinner and more fluid consistency. SiS describes the product as the world's first isotonic energy gel and states that it can be consumed without additional water directly upon gel intake.

The Fruit Salad flavor has a sweet and fruity profile that provides variation from more traditional gel flavors such as lemon, lime, orange, cola and blackcurrant. The product is suitable for both shorter intense workouts and longer endurance activities where regular carbohydrate intake is part of the plan.

22 g carbohydrates per gel

Each SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel Fruit Salad provides 22 g of carbohydrates . This makes the gel easy to use in smaller and regular energy intakes:

1 gel provides 22 g of carbohydrates

2 gels provide 44 g of carbohydrates

3 gels provide 66 g of carbohydrates

4 gels provide 88 g of carbohydrates

Approximately 1–3 or more gels can be used per hour depending on activity and total carbohydrate intake goals. The manufacturer's guideline is 60–90 grams of carbohydrates per hour, but the amount needs to be adjusted according to activity, other energy and individual tolerance.

A high carbohydrate intake should be introduced gradually. Therefore, test the product, amount and timing during regular training sessions before competition.

What does isotonic energy gel mean?

An isotonic gel has a composition that allows it to be consumed without the need to drink additional water directly with the gel. SiS highlights this as one of the key differences between GO Isotonic and more concentrated energy gels.

It is practical when you:

Running between hydration stations

Bicycles at high speed

Have difficulty swallowing thicker gels

Don't want to be dependent on a bottle for every energy intake

Want to distribute energy and fluid separately

However, the gel does not replace the body's fluid needs. During longer sessions, water or sports drink still needs to be planned according to temperature, intensity, length and individual sweat loss.

Maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source

GO Isotonic Energy Gel uses maltodextrin as its main carbohydrate source. SiS describes it as a liquid energy gel with a single main carbohydrate source, unlike high-carb products that combine multiple carbohydrate types.

Maltodextrin provides a lot of carbohydrates in relation to sweetness, which means that the gel can contain 22 grams of carbohydrates but still have a relatively low amount of declared sugars.

Caffeine-free standard gel

Fruit Salad is a regular GO Isotonic Energy Gel and not a product from SiS' separate GO Energy + Caffeine series. Caffeine is not listed in the current list of ingredients for Fruit Salad.

This makes the gel suitable when you:

Want to use multiple gels during the same session?

Working out late in the day

Are sensitive to caffeine

Want to control caffeine separately

Already using coffee or another caffeine product

Want a simple gel with a focus on carbohydrates

Recommended use

Tear off the top and squeeze the contents directly into your mouth as needed. Depending on your sport, activity and total carbohydrate goal, approximately 1–3 or more gels per hour are recommended to reach approximately 60–90 grams of carbohydrates.
