Made in the UK in a GMP-certified facility.
What it delivers

HOW TO USE?
Take 1–2 gels per hour, depending on the duration and intensity of your activity. Stay hydrated throughout your exercise. Do not exceed 3mg of caffeine per kg of body weight per day.
WHEN TO USE?
During training or racing. Best used mid-race or during hard efforts lasting over 60 minutes where both sustained carbohydrate intake and mental focus are critical.
WHY DO I NEED THIS?
The Big 40 Caffeine delivers 40g of dual-source carbohydrates and 75mg of natural caffeine — fewer gels to carry, less maths mid-race, and a clean caffeine boost when you need it most. Combined with 200mg of sodium, it covers energy, electrolytes, and focus in one go.
WHO USES THIS?
Cyclists, runners, triathletes, and endurance athletes who follow a high-carb fuelling strategy and want a caffeine boost during key race moments or hard training sessions.
I received a regular drinking bottle, not the Flow bottle with the more flexible plastic and carb markings, which is specifically why I wanted to buy it. I don't want 15% off, I want my money back
Tastes good, & easy to squeeze. Only negative is that the top should have a latch or be designed so that makes it stay attached to the gel . Fiddly to handle while riding at speed
Well tasting! I like the lighter consistency compared to some other gels that are too sticky & no problems with digestion.
So far hard to tell reg. recovery and energy effects.
Tried with pre 2 long distance 20+K runs and pre 2 short runs.
