{"product_id":"c30-caffeine-energy-gel-cola","title":"Never Second C30+ Cola Caffeine Energy Gel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA caffeinated isotonic gel for athletes who want a carb hit and a caffeine lift in a single sachet - in a flavour that actually tastes like the real thing late into a race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 60ml gel delivering 30g of carbohydrate in a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, plus 75mg of caffeine - roughly equivalent to a small espresso. The dual-transporter carb blend (SGLT1 for glucose, GLUT5 for fructose) allows higher absorption rates than glucose-only gels. The isotonic, liquid-like texture is easier to swallow mid-effort than thicker gels, and doesn't demand water to wash it down. 200mg of sodium supports hydration alongside the fuelling. The classic cola flavour tends to cut through palate fatigue better than sweet fruit flavours deep into long events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLate in long sessions when energy and focus start to drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRace-day fuelling for cycling, running, triathlon, and Hyrox\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard efforts or surges - take 20-30 minutes before to time the caffeine peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarly-morning races where you've skipped or under-caffeinated breakfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen you're sick of sweet fruit flavours and want something different\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 20-30 minutes before you need the effect - caffeine peaks in the bloodstream around 30-45 minutes after ingestion. For longer events, consider one caffeinated gel every 90-120 minutes rather than every fuelling cycle, to avoid stacking caffeine too high. Total daily caffeine intake from all sources (including pre-race coffee) is worth tracking - 3-6mg\/kg bodyweight is the broadly evidence-supported performance range. Test in training first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30g carbohydrate per gel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-dosed for easy fuelling maths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e75mg caffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate dose - one to two gels covers most athletes' performance range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-transporter blend for higher absorption rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200mg sodium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Useful electrolyte top-up alongside the carbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsotonic, liquid texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doesn't need water to swallow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic cola flavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cuts through palate fatigue when sweet fruit flavours stop working.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInformed Sport certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batch tested for banned substances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains caffeine.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not recommended for children or pregnant\/breastfeeding women.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Never Second","offers":[{"title":"Single Sachet (60ml)","offer_id":43282680971323,"sku":"NS-C30P-GEL-COL-1","price":99.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box (12 x 60ml)","offer_id":43548448915515,"sku":"NS-C30P-GEL-COL-12","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/0060\/3963\/files\/C30_Gel_Cola.png?v=1772632431","url":"https:\/\/macgrif.com\/products\/c30-caffeine-energy-gel-cola","provider":"Macgrif","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
