GEL Competition Raspberry+Caffeine TRIS, 3 x 25 ml

ENERVIT GEL Competition Raspberry+Caffeine TRIS, 3 x 25 ml

This handy energy gel is aimed at ambitious cyclists who need fast-available carbohydrates and a moderate amount of caffeine during intense sessions. Each of the three 25 ml minipacks delivers 20 g of carbohydrates and 20 mg of caffeine, rounded out with Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Niacin and Vitamin B6. The DP4 formula is based on special glucose polymers and is designed for high-intensity phases when you need to keep your pedal stroke smooth and powerful. The gel is gluten-free and vegan and can be taken immediately before or during exercise. A daily dose of up to 4 minipacks is recommended, making it easy to plan your intake for both training and racing. The caffeine content is 80 mg per 100 ml (20 mg per 25 ml), so the usual advisory applies: high caffeine content – not recommended for children, pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding.

Technical Details and Features

The gel combines glucose syrup (DP4) with small amounts of fructose syrup, maltodextrin, trehalose and isomaltulose, complemented by caffeine (0.062%) and vitamins B1, B3 and B6. Per minipack (25 ml) it provides 81 kcal, 20 g of carbohydrates (of which 3.8 g sugars), 0.025 g of salt, as well as 0.17 mg thiamine, 2.4 mg niacin and 0.21 mg Vitamin B6 – each around 15% of the recommended daily intake. The caffeine content of 20 mg per 25 ml allows for precise dosing and makes it easy to combine with caffeine-free products. The product is gluten-free, vegan and designed to take effect quickly during moments of increasing intensity. The manufacturer recommends taking it immediately before or during exercise, with a maximum of 4 minipacks per day. The nutritional composition and values are specified for the TRIS format and have been developed to meet the demands of endurance sports such as cycling.

Applications and Benefits

For cycling in Switzerland – whether tackling alpine passes, fast gravel rides or interval training on the turbo trainer – reliable energy intake plays a crucial role. Depending on duration and intensity, 30–60 g of carbohydrates per hour are commonly recommended for endurance efforts; during very long rides, combining multiple carbohydrate sources to reach >90 g/h can also make sense. At 20 g per minipack, intake is easy to fine-tune – for example in combination with drinks or bars – without exceeding the recommended daily dose of 4 minipacks. The thiamine content supports normal energy metabolism, which is particularly relevant during intense race situations and long climbs. Caffeine can also support alertness and concentration; however, individual tolerance should be tested during training. The practical TRIS packaging fits in any jersey pocket and allows for safe handling even on rough roads or trails.

Optional: Tips for Use in Training

Plan your intake along your route: one minipack just before a hard interval or climb, then more as needed during intense sections – always staying within the recommendation of a maximum of 4 minipacks per day. Drink a few sips of water alongside it to keep consistency and stomach comfort optimal, especially in the heat or at high intensity. For very long rides, combine the gel with carbohydrate-containing drinks or snacks to hit your target grams per hour without unnecessarily increasing your caffeine intake. Keep track of your total caffeine intake from all sources, especially if you have a coffee before the start. Test your tolerance during training and adjust frequency and timing to suit your personal feel and the demands of your route. The label "high caffeine content" is standard for caffeinated products; take note of the advisory for children, pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding.
