Why we Love it
When you're deep into a long training session or race, the last thing you want is a gel that tastes like medicine or barely moves the needle with your energy levels. The Big 40 solves both problems, more carbs and sodium delivery in a format that actually tastes good.
What makes it special
40g of carbs and 200mg of sodium in a single serving. With a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio for optimal absorption and a light, natural green apple flavour that won't cause taste fatigue, it's built for athletes who need serious fuel without compromise.
40g carbohydrates
200mg sodium for electrolyte replenishment

The Big 40 Energy Gel delivers 40g of carbohydrates and 200mg of sodium per gel significantly more fuel than standard gels on the market.
A 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratiouses dual carbohydrate transport pathways for improved absorption at high intensity, with a natural green apple flavour designed to stay palatable across multiple gels and long distances. Made in the UK in a GMP-certified facility.
What it delivers
40g carbohydrates per gel — 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio uses dual transport pathways to support carbohydrate absorption during high-intensity and long-duration efforts
200mg sodium per gel — meaningful electrolyte dose per serve, contributing to the maintenance of normal fluid balance during training and racing
Natural green apple flavour — crisp and light; designed to remain palatable across multiple gels and long efforts without sweetness fatigue
Vegan, natural flavours and colours— no artificial additives
Take 1–2 gels per hour depending on duration and intensity. Consume with water.
Vegan. Informed Sport batch tested. Produced in a GMP-certified facility in the UK.
HOW TO USE?
Take 1–2 gels per hour, depending on the duration and intensity of your activity. Stay hydrated throughout your exercise.
WHEN TO USE?
During training or racing. Ideal for efforts lasting over 60 minutes where sustained carbohydrate intake is critical.
WHY DO I NEED THIS?
The Big 40 delivers 40g of duel source carbohydrates meaning fewer gels to carry, less maths mid-race, and more fuel when you need it. Combined with 200mg of sodium, it covers both energy and electrolyte needs in one go.
WHO USES THIS?
Cyclists, runners, triathletes, and endurance athletes who follow a high-carb fuelling strategy and need reliable, gut-friendly energy during long efforts.
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.
