What about water?

You need water, and lots of it during an kind of endurance activity (running, cycling, triathlon, soccer, hockey, football, etc.). The recommendation by the American College of Sports Medicine is actually 16-32 ounces per hour. But that doesn't mean you have to carry it around with you. Water is bulky and heavy.

Who should use energy gels?

All endurance athletes can benefit from energy gels, but the most obvious uses are for those that have to carry and transport their nutrition. Runners in particular are the biggest users of energy gels. During a half of full marathon for example, you need carbohydrates, electrolytes and water. There's plenty of water along the course, but the nutrition offered is usually super high in sugar and not what you want to be using. So just carry your energy gel, take the course water and you're all set! Gels are also a great choice for triathletes, cyclists, hikers, climbers, etc. Athletes that play court sports and field sports can use gels, or they can use a good sports drink – for them it becomes more a choice of personal preference.

How much should I use?

A general rule of thumb is one every 30-60 minutes, but like most rules of thumb that's not the best way to determine your needs and how you are going to perform at your best. For runners and cyclist they have developed nutrition analysis tools that will allow you to easily determine all of your needs (energy, hydration, electrolytes, etc.).

What is Crank Sports International Shipping?

• As the manufacturer, when they ship internationally it is considered exporting. Exporting food items requires a lengthly and costly pre-approval on a country by country basis and authorization by each country's equivalent of thier FDA. In many cases the label requirements are also different than the labeling that they use here in the United States. 

• When an individual sends a package to a friend the exporting requirements that they are subject to do not apply, so the only option to have e-Gel or e-Fuel shipped to you is to have a friend in the United States forward it on to you.

• The're sorry that they are not able to ship internationally at this time, but the regulatory red tape involved in exporting is too cost prohibitive.
