FAQ
What is the difference between SAP and Gels?
Both gels and SAP aim to provide quick, easy to digest energy.
- Gels use artificial carbs (maltodextrin + fructose powder) to provide you with energy. Water, gelling agents, thickeners, preservatives, digestive helpers, flavours and other ingredients are then added to create a ‘gel’.
- SAP uses real food (Maple and Himalayan salt) to provide you with quick energy that is naturally easy to digest and does not need extra ingredients to get the benefits.
How many SAPs should I use during my workout?
It depends on how hard you are going and your target carbs / hour. As a general rule of thumb, if you are using SAP25s:
- Races or intense sessions: 3 or more SAPs per hour (75–90g carbs)
- Moderate training: about 1 every 30 minutes (~50g carbs/hour)
- Easier efforts: 1 every 30–60 minutes (25–50g carbs/hour)
For example, on an easy long run that lasts 75-90 one should aim for 2-3 SAPs throughout the session. This can be split up however feels good.
Upgrade to SAP40 for more carbs to fuel longer and more intense workouts.
Why did we start SAP?
We were tired of forcing down artificial gels. We wanted a natural but high-performance option so we could fuel our training and feel good doing it.
