How many 30CHO gels per hour?

Each gel has 30 g of carbohydrate, so two per hour gives 60 g and three gives 90 g. Santa Madre says its 1:0.5 ratio works for strategies of up to 90–100 g per hour; combine gels with a drink or gummies to spread the intake.

OFF CAF or 100 CAF — which should I take?

Same formula; the 100 CAF version adds 100 mg of caffeine per serving (Santa Madre compares it to about one and a half coffees). Try caffeine in training first and count every caffeinated product you take that day.

Gel 30CHO or Unusual Gel 45CHO?

The 30CHO is Santa Madre’s everyday 50 ml gel: 30 g at a 1:0.5 ratio with 100 mg of sodium. The Unusual Gel 45CHO carries 45 g at a 1:1 ratio with 200 mg of sodium, for high-intake strategies (90 g/h or more). Both come with or without 100 mg of caffeine.

What do Santa Madre’s ratios (1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1) mean?

They are the proportion of glucose-type carbohydrate to fructose. Glucose and fructose cross the gut through different transporters, so mixing them lets you absorb more per hour. Santa Madre uses 1:0.5 for everyday products (up to 90–100 g/h), 1:0.8 in the 60CHO gel and 1:1 in its UNUSUAL range for 90–100+ g/h strategies.

Ratio 1:0.5

Santa Madre’s everyday ratio: roughly two parts glucose-type carbohydrate (maltodextrin, dextrose) to one part fructose, so both intestinal transporters (SGLT1 for glucose, GLUT5 for fructose) do work. Santa Madre says it avoids digestive trouble and supports strategies of up to 90–100 g of carbohydrate per hour.

Refreshing System

Santa Madre’s “Refresh” technology in its gels leaves a refreshing sensation on the palate that, it says, helps the body’s thermoregulation — which is why it recommends these gels especially in hot weather.

Low-density liquid gel

Santa Madre’s gels are made “under liquid technology”: a thin, low-density gel that is easy to take while working hard.

Vegan, gluten-, lactose- and palm-oil-free

Santa Madre’s data sheets list this line as 100 % vegan and free of gluten, lactose and palm oil.
