It is important to start the activity with plenty of energy and a “full tank”.

Top up your reserves with a Z2 gel 10-20 minutes before starting. If you like the effect of caffeine, our Choco Mint, Iced Coffee, Berry or Freezin' Cola gels are perfect for an extra boost.

For longer races and training, a tip to increase your carbohydrate consumption in the last hours before the activity is to consume ½ to 1 dose of Z2 Power Powder diluted in at least 250 and 500ml of water, respectively.

If you intend to complete the activity within 1 hour, we suggest that you take a Z2 gel if you feel the need for extra energy.

Suggestion: Z2 Tropical Fruit / Z2 Neutral / Z2 Candy / Z2 Salted Caramel. For hotter days: Z2 Pitaya / Z2+ Lemon / Z2+ Pineapple.

If the activity lasts more than 1 hour, be sure to take a Z2 gel to be consumed in half the time.

Suggestion : Z2 Tropical Fruit / Z2 Neutral / Z2 Candy / Z2 Salted Caramel. For hotter days : Z2 Pitaya / Z2+ Lemon / Z2+ Pineapple.

As you increase the duration and intensity of exercise, your body needs more. Complement your Z2 with Z2+, giving preference to flavors with more sodium to replace electrolytes. Suggestion : Pitaya / Lemon / Pineapple.

In trail/ultra marathon/cycling , there is usually the possibility of carrying liquids and bottles and using Z2 Power Powder at this time can be your great ally to keep your energy high until the finish.​ The suggestion is to alternate Z2 and Z2+ gels * every 30-45' (depending on your tolerance) while you consume 1 dose of Power Powder in 500-750ml of water every 1h-2h (the amount may be greater or lesser depending on the amount of gels consumed).

*with or without caffeine, depending on your adaptation. Avoid repeating Z2+ gels with caffeine (Z2 Iced Coffee and Z2 Freezin Cola) at intervals of less than 1h30. Unless you are very adapted.

Note: If you are having difficulty consuming the gels more frequently, the suggestion is to alternate the Z2+ with Z2 Neutral (the most liquid and “neutral” gel in the line).

The muscle recovery process begins immediately after activity. At this point, proteins and carbohydrates are the main macronutrients to start this process. Consume 1 dose of AMPLI diluted in 250ml of water to enhance your recovery and your next meal.
