With a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, the Core Gel delivers energy through two absorption pathways, allowing your body to process more carbohydrates per hour while reducing the risk of gut overload.
200mg sodium combined with potassium, calcium, and magnesium works to replace electrolytes lost in sweat, helping to maintain fluid balance, muscle contraction, and overall endurance capacity.
With 24g of fast-absorbing carbs in every sachet, the Core Gel provides a steady stream of fuel to power long sessions, prevent energy dips, and support high-intensity performance.
The carefully balanced carb ratio and clean formulation minimise bloating, cramping, and nausea, letting athletes take on more fuel without digestive discomfort during demanding training or racing.
An unflavoured profile paired with a neutral texture makes the gel easy to consume repeatedly, reducing sensory fatigue over hours of exercise. This makes stacking up to 4 gels per hour possible.
For efforts under 60 minutes or lower intensity sessions, take 1 gel (per hour). For 60–90 minutes at high intensity, aim for 2–3 gels per hour. For races or sessions over 90 minutes, fuel with 3–4 gels per hour.
The Core Carb Gel uses a dual-fuel 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio for faster absorption and reduced GI discomfort. It also contains 200mg of sodium, as well as potassium, magnesium and calcium for hydration and optimised muscle function.
With dual carbs and electrolytes, the Core Gel covers both energy and hydration; so with water, it’s all you need to fuel throughout your race.
No, it’s unflavoured to prevent taste fatigue allowing easy use of multiple gels for sessions or race days.
Yes, the Core Fuel Gel is designed to work and stack seamlessly with our range of fuel bars, electrolyte sachets and electrolyte drinks
Yes, the dual-pathway carb system and neutral formula are built to minimise gut stress during high-intensity training.

"I struggled with gels for years - always made me ill, and I hated the overly sweet taste. Found Cadence Gels after starting with the cans - gave them a try, and I found the taste to be less insipid, easy to digest, and gave me great energy. I now use them on my longer cycling days and road/trail runs. Some extra salt in there makes a real difference too!"
"New favorite gel and it’s not even close. Winner by a large margin. Will be keeping this in the rotation indefinitely."
"Everything was awesome except for it could use a bit of flavor but even the taste wasn’t unbearable. Cadence has yet another good working fuel product with clean ingredients."
"This was my first time using any kind of performance gel. It was different. These are good but at first I thought these were extremely sweet. The texture is nice and the consistency. Over all a good product."
"Great gel, ticks all the boxes. Easy to consume great texture, smooth consistency, great taste."
"Taste is great, no texture issues. Highly recommend for running"
"I found the cadence gels to work from the get go. During a longer run I found the gel to provide me with that extra boost needed to stop hitting the wall. One big thing was no stomach issues during or after consuming"
"I used it last Boston marathon and went amazing with me no GI problems and taste amazing"
"Thin and smooth consistency. I personally think it tastes like honey and gummy bears, which I love both. So easy to get down. I haven’t had something from Cadence that I didn’t absolutely love. Everything I’ve tried has become my new go to. Gels, drinks, electrolytes."
"Such a great gel, tastes good, goes down well, touch of sodium makes it my preferred gel to competitors. Only feedback would be the packaging to make it easier to get in your mouth and maybe slightly smaller, But this is minor, the gel itself is unbeatable."
