Healthspan Elite Energy Gel
The Energy Gel from Healthspan Elite was developed in collaboration with British Cycling — a light, fluid gel using natural pectin so it can be taken without water. Each gel supplies carbohydrate in a 2:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose blend plus electrolytes. Informed Sport certified, so every batch is screened against the banned-substances list for tested athletes.

Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes the texture different?
- Healthspan uses natural pectin to give a lighter, more fluid gel than thick syrupy ones, so it is easier to take on the move and does not require water to wash down.
- What is the carbohydrate blend?
- Each gel uses a 2:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose blend, two carbohydrate sources absorbed by different pathways, and adds electrolytes including sodium and potassium.
- Who developed it?
- Healthspan Elite developed the Energy Gel in collaboration with British Cycling.
- Is it certified for tested sport?
- Yes. It carries Informed Sport certification, so every batch is independently screened against the WADA banned-substances list.
