Purendure Purendure Mango Energy Gel Pouch is a gel with 25.5 g of carbohydrate, 130 mg of sodium and no caffeine per serving. It scores 65/100 on the CarbRate Science Score. At 60 g of carbs per hour that is 2.5 servings an hour.
Who Purendure Mango Energy Gel Pouch suits
Runners fueling below about 60 g per hour. Without a fructose source, absorption tops out near 60 g/hr, so stacking servings past that point tends to cause gut trouble rather than more energy.
Runners who want to keep caffeine separate, or race caffeine-free. Caffeine-free fuel is easier to repeat every 20 to 30 minutes without stacking a stimulant.
Runners with dietary limits: it is vegan according to the manufacturer.
How to use it in a race
Start early. Take the first serving 15 to 20 minutes into the race, before you feel you need it, and repeat on a fixed clock. At 60 g/hr that is 2.5 servings per hour; at 90 g/hr it is 3.5.
Thick gel texture. Take it with two or three mouthfuls of water so the carbohydrate is diluted enough to leave the stomach quickly.
Practice it on long runs at race intensity before you race on it. Gut tolerance is trained; a fuel that felt fine at easy pace can behave differently at marathon effort.
Cost at 60 g/hr works out to about $5.93 per hour at list price, or roughly $21 for a three-and-a-half hour marathon.
Servings per hour assume the 25.5 g per serving on the label. The finder sets your own g/hr target from race distance, sweat and gut.
