Honey Bee Power

Team sports

A tournament with two or three games in a day empties stores faster than a single training session. Between games and after them, carbohydrate and fluids matter as much as tactics.

Between games

When there are several hours between games, eat a light carbohydrate meal and drink enough fluid. When the gap is short, choose smaller portions that sit lightly. For clubs: larger quantities of gels, isotonic drinks and whey are ordered with a B2B enquiry.

After exercise: recovery

According to the label, the Honey Bee Power gel is taken after exercise or physical exertion: 1 serving of 40 g. The authorised claim says carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after very intensive or long-lasting exercise, with a total of 4 g of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight from all sources, in doses, within the first 4 hours (no later than 6 hours). One gel provides 29–32.8 g; the rest comes from food and drinks.

Carbohydrate for recovery

Enter your body weight and see how much carbohydrate you need in the first 4 hours after exercise, following the condition of the authorised claim.

Questions

Can I take the gel during a race?
The gel label states use after exercise or exertion. We are checking use during exercise with the producer and do not recommend it until they confirm it.
Can I take the gel if I am sensitive to caffeine?
No. The gel contains guarana seed extract, and the label says it is not recommended for people sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or children.
