How many Gummy Bars per hour?

Each 45 g gummy bar has 37 g of carbohydrate at a 1:0.5 ratio, so two per hour is 74 g. Santa Madre says the formula suits strategies of up to 100 g per hour; add a drink or gel to reach higher amounts.

The gummy bar gives more carbohydrate per piece (37 g vs 30 g in the 30CHO gel) and something to chew. The gel is liquid and, per Santa Madre, low-density, so there is nothing to chew when you are breathing hard.

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.

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.

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.
