Gel Naturel Bio 85g, by Baouw, is a natural energy gel that offers the natural sweetness of banana with the aromatic richness of Bourbon vanilla. The banana provides a smooth texture and a sweet taste while the vanilla adds an exotic note. Agave syrup and extra virgin olive oil balance the blend, offering lasting energy with controlled blood sugar levels.
Designed for intense efforts to replenish energy: the new Baouw natural energy gel combines performance, naturalness and pleasure.
This energy gel is made from natural and 100% organic ingredients and preserves your health in the long term. The high fruit content provides you with natural sugar without a blood sugar spike, which pairs perfectly with agave syrup. The glycemic index of the latter is particularly low: it is only 15.
Olive oil will provide you with a source of good lipids directly usable during exercise and will help smooth blood sugar levels. The ingredients are naturally rich in vitamins and essential micronutrients, including calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium.
Thanks to nutrition experts and Michelin-starred chef Yoann Conte, the gel does not irritate the intestine, which is already inflamed by exercise, and is therefore much easier to digest. It is also very practical thanks to its compact and resealable pouch, easy to handle, which allows it to be consumed in several servings. Non-sticky and fluid, it is easily absorbed and will also spare you the pasty sensation in the mouth of a classic energy gel.
You can consume up to 2 per hour to reach 60g of carbohydrates. It is more effective than a classic energy gel.
Classic energy gels are mostly composed of water, maltodextrin and glucose syrup. Ultra-processed, they are a source of digestive problems in the short term. Their glycemic index is high and can also trigger serious long-term health problems (diabetes, cirrhosis, etc…)
With this natural alternative based on organic fruits (approximately 60%) and agave syrup, enjoy the same energy as a classic gel in the short term, while preserving your health in the long term. All this without mentioning the rediscovered taste of natural fruits, unlike the use of flavourings which often leave a chemical aftertaste.
This natural gel is also an innovation in terms of practicality. It can be consumed pure as an energy gel or diluted in 500ml of water to make an energy drink. A major advantage for achieving the carbohydrate level your body demands by alternating between energy gel and energy drink.
"I used this gel throughout my entire 2023 season and it was clearly my favourite product. The flavours, the ease of digestion and the carbohydrate composition make it a truly very interesting product for our sport! I can't wait to take them with me on my races this year!" Thibaut Baronian, who won the French short trail running championships with prototype natural gels!
This gel was co-created over more than a year with a team of professional athletes across different disciplines (trail, ultra-trail, cycling, mountain biking…) for an unrivalled result validated in competition.
