Tastes like maple, not medicine
“It didn't sit heavy like most gels would. It was easy to take down and not overwhelming with sweetness. Perfect for long runs.”

Has quickly become one of my go-to fuels on runs. It tastes great, goes down super easy, and gives me clean, steady energy without any stomach issues. I felt strong and smooth the whole time. Simple, natural, and it just works.

Why maple
Why athletes love maple
Maple is about 1:1 glucose to fructose. Two sugars, two gut pathways, more fuel absorbed than glucose alone. Gels are engineered to hit that mix. Maple is born with it.

Questions, answered
What's the carb and electrolyte breakdown?
Each packet delivers 27g carbs, 280mg sodium, and 90mg potassium, dialed to match what you're actually burning and sweating out, not just sugar for the sake of it.
Will it upset my stomach?
We make Salty Syrup without the gums, sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners commonly linked to GI discomfort during long efforts. The most common gel complaints trace back to maltodextrin and fructose blends. Our carb source is organic maple, one ingredient your body already knows.
Maple syrup in a gel? Is it too sweet?
Vanilla Maple is sweet the way breakfast is sweet, not candy sweet. The salt balances it, which is why long-run reviewers keep saying it goes down easy.
How much does it cost?
A packet runs about $2.67 to $4.00 depending on the pack you pick. You are getting organic maple and real salt, not maltodextrin and other junk.
How much caffeine is in the Caffeinated?
50 mg of natural caffeine from organic guarana per packet, about half a cup of coffee. The OG has none.
When should I take it?
Most athletes take 2 packets per hour during moderate efforts, and up to 3 per hour during heavier sweating or more extreme endurance events. Take with water. Start with what works for your gut and adjust from there.
