## Enervit C2:1 Carbo Gel Lemon + Sodium, 60 ml

This energy gel is designed for long, intense rides and delivers per sachet **40 g carbohydrates** in a **2:1‑ratio** of maltodextrin to fructose. The formula contains **200 mg sodium** per 60 ml, which sensibly complements fluid and electrolyte strategies, especially on hot days. It also contains **Vitamin B1, B6 and Niacin**, which contribute to normal energy metabolism, while the lemon flavor is deliberately **less sweet**. The recommended intake is **1–2 gels per hour**, depending on intensity, body weight and additional intake from drinks or bars. The C2:1PRO line was developed in collaboration with WorldTour‑teams to enable high carbohydrate intakes with good gastric tolerance. 

- 40 g carbohydrates per 60‑ml‑sachet in a **2:1** maltodextrin‑to‑fructose mix for efficient uptake. 
- **200 mg sodium** supports electrolyte supply in heat and sweat loss. 
- With **Vitamin B1, B6 and Niacin** for energy metabolism; fat‑free and gluten‑free. 
- Subtle **lemon note** with reduced sweetness for good palatability at high cadence. 
- Developed within the **C2:1PRO** line in cooperation with UAE Team Emirates and Lidl‑Trek. 
- Recommendation: **1–2 gels per hour** depending on load and combined intake from drinks. 

## Technical Details and Functions

The 2:1 combination uses different **transporters in the gut** (**SGLT1** for glucose/maltodextrin, **GLUT5** for fructose), increasing absorption capacity and enabling exogenous carbohydrate oxidation above 1 g/min. Studies show that mixtures of glucose and fructose improve time‑trial performance compared with glucose alone and can optimally support an hourly intake of up to about **90 g carbohydrates**. At the same time the 2:1 strategy can reduce **gastro‑intestinal stress** when intake is trained. The gel provides **200 mg sodium** per serving, which complements hydration strategy particularly in warm conditions without over‑salting the taste. Enervit recommends **1–2 sachets per hour** depending on intensity, with the gels used as part of a balanced nutrition concept. The B‑vitamins contribute to normal energy metabolism and round off the performance formula. 

## Use Cases and Benefits

Whether long base rides around Lake Zurich and the Limmattal, steep Alpine passes or **Gravel‑Marathons**: this gel is tailored to **endurance efforts in cycling**. In races or intervals the quickly available energy helps prevent **performance drops** and maintain consistent wattage. In hot summer months or with high sweat rates the added **sodium** provides a noticeable added value within your hydration strategy. For athletes aiming for 60–90 g carbohydrates per hour the gel can be flexibly combined with carbohydrate‑containing drinks. The fact that the 2:1 concept is also used at WorldTour level is shown by current insights into the feeding of top riders, who depending on stage profile aim for up to 120 g/h. This way you benefit from a field‑tested solution that also integrates well into Swiss training routines. 

## Usage and Combination Tips

Start in training with **1 gel every 30–45 minutes** and test tolerance gradually until you stably reach your target of 60–90 g carbohydrates per hour. Make sure to always take the gels with a few sips of water, especially if you also use carbohydrate‑rich drinks. In hot conditions the **200‑mg sodium** portion per gel can be useful; however, adjust total electrolyte intake to your drink mix and sweat rate. Use a combination of gels and drinks in longer races to distribute uptake pathways and relieve the stomach. Stick to the manufacturer's recommendation of **1–2 gels per hour** and use the product as part of a varied diet. The simple fat‑free formula and the **mild lemon flavor** support palatability even at high intensities.
