The ratio of a gel refers to the <strong>proportion between the carbohydrates used in its formulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choosing one ratio or another will depend on the athlete&#8217;s goals, preferences and digestive tolerance. Combining different types of carbohydrates in an energy gel is an effective strategy to improve energy absorption and utilization during exercise.<\/p>\n<p>This is because each<strong> type of carbohydrate uses different transporters<\/strong> in the intestine to be absorbed. As a result, this allows the body to <strong>increase<\/strong> the total amount of carbohydrates it can use per hour.<\/p>\n<h2>What types of ratios can I find in energy gels?<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Ratio: 2:1 (glucose:fructose)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The most common.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Allows the absorption of <strong>~90 g of carbohydrates per hour<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Widely used in endurance sports.<\/li>\n<li>At Life Pro, the Energy Gel gels have a 2:1 ratio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This ratio has been the benchmark for many years due to its high energy efficiency. However, it can be somewhat more <strong>aggressive for the digestive system<\/strong> if it has not been tried beforehand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ratio: 1:0.8<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ratio based on recent scientific evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Optimizes carbohydrate oxidation and <strong>improves digestive tolerance<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Allows for a more consistent and safer intake during longer and more demanding activities.<\/li>\n<li>At Life Pro, the gels Ultra Gel have a 1:0.8 ratio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ratio 1:1<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Contains an equal proportion of two types of carbohydrates (usually maltodextrin and fructose).<\/li>\n<li>Balanced and efficient absorption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5171 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifepronutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/black-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Life Pro Gel Ratios\" width=\"1240\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifepronutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/black-2-1.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/www.lifepronutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/black-2-1-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifepronutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/black-2-1-1024x454.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lifepronutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/black-2-1-768x341.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why is the carbohydrate ratio important in energy gels?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improved performance in endurance sports:<\/strong> A balanced carbohydrate ratio in sports gels allows for greater energy availability per hour.<\/li>\n<li>Choosing the right ratio <strong>helps delay fatigue<\/strong> and maintain a consistent pace during prolonged efforts where sustained performance is sought for more than 90 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>You can <strong>increase total carbohydrate absorption<\/strong> to ~90\u2013120 g\/h, depending on the ratio. For example, if you only consumed glucose, the body would reach its limit (~60 g\/h)<\/li>\n<li>Using an appropriate ratio such as <strong>2:1<\/strong> or <strong>1:0.8<\/strong> improves <strong>gastrointestinal tolerance<\/strong> during exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Which ratio\/gel should you choose according to your training?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>choice of carbohydrate ratio<\/strong> in sports gels depends on the type and duration of the training session.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For sessions of<strong> less than 60 minutes<\/strong> at moderate intensity, it is normally not necessary to use an energy gel, although some athletes may opt for a basic one with a 2:1 ratio if they want to maintain their pace or test their tolerance.<\/li>\n<li>During<strong> training sessions lasting between 60 and 90 minutes,<\/strong> the 2:1 ratio remains an effective option, as it provides good carbohydrate absorption and sufficient energy intake without overwhelming the digestive system.<\/li>\n<li>When the<strong> duration exceeds 90 minutes<\/strong>, especially in competitions or demanding sessions, the 1:0.8 ratio is usually more advisable. This proportion makes it possible to maintain a high carbohydrate intake per hour with a lower risk of stomach discomfort, which is key when seeking continuous performance.<\/li>\n<li>During<strong> very intense and prolonged training sessions,<\/strong> the 1:0.8 ratio is also usually preferred, as it allows for a constant flow of energy without overloading the intestine, thus promoting digestive tolerance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;6016&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Valora el articulo&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votos)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Valora el articulo<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy gels are a nutritional supplement designed primarily with carbohydrates as their main component, whose objective is to provide energy quickly and efficiently to the body during physical exertion.
