WONDERING WHAT THAT STUFF DOES TO YOU

WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN AN ENERGY GEL?
Built for cheap mass manufacturing.
Still 27g of carbs per gel. Read the ingredients: there's almost nothing to read.
THE NUMBERS
Why only one ingredient?
Because maple already carries the carbs: 27g per gel in a natural 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio. Everything a typical gel adds is there for shelf life or texture.
Will it upset my stomach?
Everyone's gut is different, so we can't promise how yours will react. What we can tell you: we made these because regular gels upset ours, and the thing customers tell us most often is that these don't. If they're not right for you, the 30-day guarantee covers it.
How many do I take?
One before or during. On long sessions, one to three an hour depending on how hard you're going. Rough maths: at hard effort you burn 60 to 90g of carbs an hour, and a gel is 27g.
Do I need water with it?
No. They're runny, not gluey, so they go down on their own. Drink if you want to, not because you have to.
Why maple?
Because maple already carries the carbs: 27g per gel in a natural 1:1 glucose-to-fructose mix. Everything a typical gel adds is there for shelf life or texture, not for you.
What about the sugar?
During exercise, carbs are the point: your working muscles burn them for energy, and if you run low you slow down. Maple's carbs come as a natural 1:1 mix of glucose and fructose.
How long do they keep?
Two years from production, best-before printed on every box and sachet. Room temperature, out of direct sun. No fridge.
Are they vegan and gluten free?
Yes, all four flavours.
I took Maple Movement for the Melbourne Marathon. First race I used them for and felt better suring and after Melbourne than I have for any other race (that was my 6th marathon). The customer service experience was second to none following a mix up with my delivery address (my fault). The gels are quite liquid and low volume so are easy to take during the race. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely obsessed with maple gels! They so easy to consume, the consistency is perfect, they taste so good and I feel amazing when I have them. Maples tick all of the boxes!!
I tried these running gels during my runs, but unfortunately they didn’t work well for me.
I found them quite difficult to digest because of the very intense sweetness, and the consistency was also too liquid for my preference. They left my hands and mouth feeling very sticky while running, which made them uncomfortable to consume during exercise.
However, my biggest concern came later. I stored a few unopened gels in a kitchen drawer for a couple of weeks, at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. When I went to check them, two of the sachets had apparently burst and leaked, leaving everything in the drawer extremely sticky. Two others were noticeably swollen/inflated.
I’m now unsure whether the swollen gels are safe to consume, so I won’t be using them. I’m particularly concerned because they were stored indoors and had not been opened.
I would appreciate some clarification from the manufacturer about why this happened and whether the remaining gels are safe to consume under these storage conditions.
Maple syrup gels kept me going through my ever first half marathon very pleased😊
These are the best tasting gels I’ve ever had. So easy to access during a run, not super sticky and didn’t affect my tummy either. Will never stop telling everyone to switch to maple 🙏🏽🙌🏽✨
this is the best thing iv'e ever tried. as all other gels would upset my stomach.Great for my runs and even as i'm playing high level basketball for Aus
Best gels I have had, I have tried them all and these truely taste the best and help with performance plus no gut issues!
Great flavour and taste amazing
11/10 for tastes, consistency and ease of tearing open during my first marathon! ( GC )
Also unreal customer service! 🫶🏼
Great! Helped me on my marathon with no toilet breaks
Yummy product! Excellent service!!
The best energy gel there is!!! Sits great in my stomach especially since I suffer with some gut issues so I need simple and effective fuel to give me energy to train, compete and race - nothing does it better then maple
Will never go back to other brands, hands down these are the best gels out there!!!
Small business, run properly with pride and quality at the forefront!
Love these gels! I’ve found them so much easier to take while running because they’re not as thick as other gels, and they sit much better in my gut.
The only gel I am able to use on big training days and event without any gut issues. The taste is unreal and I 100% recommend giving Maple Movement a go if you are struggling to find the right gel for you!
I was in need for a gel on my long run 12km and hadto stop by a store and buy one. It helped me get through my run and keep going with energy and fuel in my body. It’s not heavy and thick like other gels it went down smooth and was easy to take.
I'm obsessed with this gel. First race fuel I've used that hasn't made me sick 10ks into the run, and the natural sweetness gives me far less flavour fatigue than synthesised gels! Works like a charm and pushes me to the finish line in every race I've done since discovering Maple.
A must have for my long runs and hard sessions. The gel itself tastes great and performs to the standard I’d expect. I’ll usually have 2 during a Hyrox Solo race
Always my go to gels brand and you can’t go past the original. Sap maple is such a good flavour, I tend to use it earlier in my sessions and the lemon salt for later in my sessions !!!
Honestly, AMAZING. it went down a treat and stayed down, tummy felt great as well no bloating or nausea! 10/10 I’ll be sticking with these from now on! Thanks guys
Having had 40cm of my bowel removed maple had been the best on my gut! No issues whatsoever! Tastes like a treat midway through a session!
Have been using Maple Gels for a couple of years now and they are my go to for fuelling my long runs. I enjoy the texture and taste and they are gentle on my gut. My fave is the lemon and salt!
No mess. Good consistency and super tasty!! Perfect for my upcoming BYU
The absolute best! Wouldn't do any training session or race without using a Maple Gel! Zero gut sensitivity, 100% tastes amazing
So easy and convenient to take
Would recommend 100%
10/10
