Fuel with Fructose
Fuel your performance. Go further. Recover stronger.
Our up4™ Energy Gels are designed with fructose to help your body perform at its best during high-intensity exercise.
Why carbohydrates matter
Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel. Foods such as pasta, bread, potatoes, and rice contain glucose — the form of carbohydrate your body breaks down and uses for energy.
When you exercise, your muscles burn glucose to produce energy (ATP). This process, called oxidation, keeps your muscles working effectively.
Fructose, another form of carbohydrate found in fruit, can also power your muscles.
Why is this important
Fueling your muscles with the right carbohydrates helps you:
- Work out longer without fatigue
- Train at higher intensity
- Recover more effectively
For example, if you lift weights more efficiently, your body has a greater chance of building muscle during recovery.
The limits of glucose alone
Research shows that your body can only absorb a certain amount of glucose at once. When this transport system becomes saturated, any excess is stored as fat instead of being used for energy.
This means that ingesting more glucose alone won’t necessarily improve your performance.
How fructose sets you apart
Fructose uses a different transport system from glucose. And by combining the two, your body can absorb and use more carbohydrates at the same time.
This results in:
- Faster and higher carbohydrate absorption
- More energy available for your muscles
- Greater endurance and performance
Simply put: pairing fructose with glucose allows you to train harder, for longer. The up4™ Energy Gels contain fructose to maximize fuel delivery during exercise — helping you push your limits and get more from every workout.
