Why isomaltulose?

You use Pro Sport Fruits for an extra layer of energy, not for a short-term boost, as our Pro Energy gels are more suitable for that. Isomaltulose is a sugar that occurs naturally in small quantities in, among other things, honey and beet sugar sap. The composition consists of glucose and fructose but is absorbed much more gradually in our body due to a more rigid binding.

This results in a lower glycemic response (slower and lower rise in blood sugar levels = no energy loss) and a more controlled release of energy in your body. Moreover, scientific research has shown that isomaltulose promotes fat burning, a nice bonus!

How to use?

Kristof: You use the Pro Sport Fruit to intelligently build up your carbohydrate intake during the effort. Thanks to the 20g carbohydrates per bar, you can easily count how many Pro Energy fruits you want to use in combination with the Pro Isotonic or Pro Energy bar. During regular efforts, you want to consume 75g of carbohydrates per hour, and during intense efforts, you take in 90 to 100 carbohydrates per hour.

This Pro Energy fruit is very low in fat, protein, and fiber content and is particularly well-digestible. This composition allows for maximum absorption of up to 100g carbohydrates per hour.

In the cycling team, we use Sport Fruit as an extra addition to a bar. Many riders love the taste. Riders notice that everything they eat from the fruit is also absorbed because it is a source of energy that is used little differently. The body never experiences an abundance of isomaltulose, and that’s why a minimum of 95% of the energy is always absorbed by the body!
