33 grams in. No gut stress.

This innovative performance gel delivers 33 g of carbohydrates from three different sources, each absorbed at a different rate. The 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio supports higher energy availability per hour* with efficient uptake, without stressing the stomach. The gel also contains essential minerals such as potassium and sodium to help replace minerals lost through sweat.

This powerful energy gel (63 g) is specifically formulated to support shorter efforts or the final phase of longer sessions such as running, trail running, cycling and triathlon. Thanks to a blend of three different carbohydrate sources, each absorbed at a different rate, and a 2:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio, your body can efficiently take in the energy it needs to perform at a high level.

The neutral pH ensures that all 33 g of carbohydrates are absorbed smoothly, without digestive discomfort.

2:1 ratio: more energy

The body can normally absorb up to 60 g of carbohydrates per hour, which limits endurance performance. By combining fructose and glucose in a 2:1 ratio, this limit can be pushed, allowing higher energy delivery per unit of time.

Use Pro Energy Gel during exercise to keep your energy levels high. The gel combines three different carbohydrates, each absorbed at a different rate, ensuring stable and continuous energy. Peak energy availability is reached from minute 4 to minute 50, depending on intensity and body composition. Added potassium and sodium help replace minerals lost through sweat.

This composition is gentle on the stomach and highly suitable for athletes with a sensitive gut.

How to use?

Kristof: Take 1 to 2 gels per hour during exercise. Always combine with water or an isotonic drink. An isotonic drink helps absorb the gel even faster. Take a new gel every 40–45 minutes. The neutral pH ensures your stomach isn’t put under extra stress.

Forget isotonic gels. Seriously, why would you choose less energy and hardly any extra hydration?

Neapharma gels contain almost the same amount of fluid, but deliver at least 33 g of carbohydrates. Isotonic gels are simply outdated science. A modern energy gel should also provide fluid to support easy digestion, fast absorption and extra hydration.

6-Carb Strategy

By combining six different carbohydrates, you unlock a clear performance advantage. This approach allows fast and complete energy uptake, without energy dips, so you can access your full strength and endurance during exercise.

The 6-carb strategy is based on insights from top coach and performance manager Kristof De Kegel (Alpecin–Deceuninck). He analysed which carbohydrate sources work best for endurance and strength, and in what ratios.

The result is a strategy where, by using the right carbohydrate sources at the right time, athletes can absorb up to 35% more energy. A key condition is alternating six different carbohydrates in the correct ratios. That’s why all Neapharma products have been aligned with this strategy since 2023, making us the only brand where this system works across the full range.

To simplify things, we developed the Neapharma Fuel Plan App, which automatically generates a personalized fueling plan, without endless calculations.

“I've been acquainted with Neapharma's products since I met Kristof De Kegel. Since then, I've been a complete enthusiast! The Energy gels work quickly, provide a significant boost of energy, and also ensure adequate hydration. The recovery is genuinely effective and has a great taste. Through regular usage, I sense an increase in strength as I consistently apply the appropriate recovery methods. At home, I utilize the app to calculate the right recovery. It's easy to see how Kristof would handle it during his performance.”

“The products of Neapharma are quite literally the thread running through my entire career. From my early years as a professional, I've been using their products. The Recovery Forest Fruits is incomparable and remains my loyal choice. The new isotonic Lime provides a refreshing change of taste alongside the tropical!”

“The products are the epitome of the evolution in sports nutrition over the past few years. Personally, I'm a big fan of the isotonic Tropical flavor. However, the concept of customization is really cool. We didn't have that as professionals, and it truly makes a difference. For the boundary-pushing, extreme rides, we use the Neapharma app and products. After all, when tackling 225 km of gravel, you're on the road for quite a while!”

FAQ

What is a neutral pH?
All Neapharma products are pH-neutral. Without flavorings and acids that affect the pH, everything is absorbed more quickly and effectively, resulting in maximum outcomes without burdening the stomach and intestines. Additionally, pH-neutral products are gentler on your tooth enamel. Do you have a strong stomach and this is not important to you? A neutral pH also guarantees faster and complete absorption of nutrients. So, a neutral pH is not only good for your stomach, intestines, and teeth. It also enhances performance!
"What is the 6-carbohydrate strategy?
The 6-carbohydrate strategy is the latest insight from top coach and Performance Manager at the cycling team Alpecin Deceuninck, Kristof De Kegel. He researched which carbohydrates are best used by athletes and what the ratio of these different energy sources is in relation to endurance and strength. He developed a strategy that, when you combine the right sources of carbohydrates at the right time, you can process up to 35% more energy. The key here is alternating between 6 different carbohydrates in the right proportion. Therefore, all Neapharma products have been adjusted since 2023, making us the only brand in the world where this strategy works. To simplify these calculations, Neapharma has created the Fuel Plan App, where your personalized nutrition plan is generated.
What is the difference between an energy gel and an isotonic gel?
Isotonic gels are outdated in science, providing fewer carbohydrates while overly focusing on fluid intake. A good energy gel contains sufficient moisture (without being isotonic) for the above reason and, in reality, has nearly the same fluid absorption as an isotonic gel but with a lot more energy.
How long can I use Energy gels during the exercise?
The evolution of Neapharma energy gels is such that they are nearly as digestible as solid food. Therefore, there is almost no difference in digestibility between gels and solid food. However, solid food is less aggressive in terms of insulin response and has a less significant impact on blood sugar levels, making solid food a more stable and long-lasting source of energy. Energy gels are quicker to be absorbed but also have a faster onset and decline. Moisture in gels for Speed of Absorption An additional benefit of moisture in energy gels is the quicker and more complete absorption of carbohydrates. Thick, sticky gels can cause up to 50% loss in absorption. Therefore, moisture in gels is advantageous to increase the efficiency of carbohydrate absorption." isotonic gels Isotonic gels are an outdated concept where you receive fewer carbohydrates and overly focus on fluid intake. A good energy gel contains sufficient moisture (without being isotonic) for the aforementioned reason and, in reality, has nearly the same fluid absorption as an isotonic gel but with a lot more energy.
What is the difference between an energy gel and an isotonic gel?

All Neapharma gels are supplemented with extra fluid. This is to ensure faster absorption, easier digestion, and to support your fluid balance during exercise. Every Neapharma gel is as efficient as an isotonic gel in terms of fluid absorption, but contains more carbohydrates/energy.

What is the importance of moisture in energy gels?
Hydration Balance Energy gels are potent energy boosters, but don't expect to extract 300 ml of fluid from a 60 ml gel. It is important to have realistic expectations, as each gel has limited capacity to maintain your hydration balance. Digestibility A good energy gel also includes moisture to facilitate the smooth absorption of carbohydrates. The moisture acts as a conductor for the carbohydrates in your intestines, promoting better digestibility. It is always beneficial to have fluid in your gels to enhance proper digestion. Speed of Absorption An additional benefit of moisture in energy gels is the faster and more complete absorption of carbohydrates. Thick, sticky gels can cause up to a 50% loss in absorption. Therefore, moisture in gels is advantageous to increase the efficiency of carbohydrate absorption. Isotonic Gels Isotonic gels are an outdated science where you receive fewer carbohydrates and overly focus on fluid intake. A good energy gel contains sufficient moisture (without being isotonic) for the above reason and, in reality, has nearly the same fluid absorption as an isotonic gel but with a lot more energy.      
Should I drink with the Carb Max gel?

All Neapharma gels are supplemented with extra fluid. This is to ensure faster absorption, easier digestion, and to support your fluid balance during exercise. Every Neapharma gel is as efficient as an isotonic gel in terms of fluid absorption, but contains more carbohydrates/energy.
