Carb Boom, under Boom Nutrition is the "official energy gel of USA Triathlon" until 2017, according to their website. Their gels come in six different flavors. Pictured above, is grape pomegranate. These gels contain zero artificial flavors, colors, or sweetener, according to their packaging. One gel is recommended per 20-30 minutes of exercise and weighs in at 110 calories per gel.
So what's so great about gels? They are easy to consume, light to carry and give you a quick boost. Gels are mainly carbohydrates which equals fuel. Carb Boom gels contain 27 g of Carbs per serving. They also contain a pinch of potassium, sodium, and 2 g of sugar. Think back in bike racing when snickers were consumed for that energy boost.
Gels are meant to be included in a well rounded diet and can be easily combined with other nutrition products, depending on rider preference.
So whether you are about to ride the Sunday in June organized ride in a few weeks, or race some weekend crits, we got you covered on a variety of nutrition products in all our locations.
