  1. We havent launched the bottles yet, only in about 2 weeks time.... Got a cape Town agent onboard now too so you should beable to get it a lot easier this year
  2. So to take it to the next level and not have foil lying around everywhere we have taken a step forward again and will soon have whasp gels in bottles. You will also get your flask free on the side of it which takes about 3.5 whasp gels servings in it. The pepto pro one we think should retail for around R192.00 for 12 servings and incl the flask. The other gels should be around R R125.00 for 12 servings and incl the flask. Also watch this space for a SWISS CHOCOLATE PEPTO PRO GEL
  3. We have a vanilla out now with pepto pro in it..available in stores already,...best tasting gel we have made...give it a try next time you testing.. Thanks for feedback
  4. Aint that the truth...
  5. Thanks for that
  6. Thanks, if you ask questions i will try my best to answer, just tired of people getting tricked and not gettign proper info. Lables can also be confusing, like some products
  7. Looking at the table most of the opposition are using Maltodextrin as their main carbohydrate. Interesting that Maltodextrin has a GI of 150 and Glucose 100. This means that the spike from Maltodextrin, as your main carbohydrate, will be 50% higher than with Glucose.
  8. Correct skinny..Plus Looking at the table most of the opposition are using Maltodextrin as their main carbohydrate. Interesting that Maltodextrin has a GI of 150 and Glucose 100. This means that the spike from Maltodextrin, as your main carbohydrate, will be 50% higher than with Glucose.
  9. We using Pepto Pro and not just any protein like people tried whey in products before. Go see the research they have, pretty imprressive www.peptopro.com
  10. Nice table, except they missing the best..he hee And Biogen gel info is wrong, its says 35g of carbs in a 30g gel ??
  11. Look out for some at races...we often appear in goodie bags and some dischem sstill selling at R10.99
  12. The Science: Yes, there is not much difference between sucrose, glucose and dextrose. All soluble dietary Carbohydrates are eventually metabolized (broken down) into Glucose. Due to the uniqueness of the human physiology and the complexity of the body?s metabolism some compounds could not be defined by text book theories, and the individual understanding of how single and combined nutrients act within the body during specific conditions are hard to determine. The collection of long standing studies and a vast amount of test data collected from different study conditions and nutrient applications contributed to the specific ratio of macro- and micronutrients contained in the Whasp gel formulation. The question is; which carbohydrates could on its own increase blood glucose for energy without actually increasing the blood sugar (glucose). The answer is in the ratio between the different carbohydrates with the addition of specifically selected Amino Acids and the addition of protein and fatty acids such as Medium Chain Triglycerides. Whasp Gel Carbohydrate breakdown: Whasp gel does not contain any added sucrose, - Maltodextrin: 35% - 45% of total carbohydrates. - Glucose syrup: 50% - 55% of total carbohydrates. - Honey: 8% - 10% of total carbohydrates. o Fructose is 38% - 42% of the 2.5g of honey = < 1g of total Whasp gel. < 3.6% of total carbohydrates o Sucrose +/- 2 % of the 2.5g of honey = < 0.05g of total in Whap gel - Glycerol: 7% - 9% of total carbohydrates Glucose: Glucose is the only Carbohydrate that actually circulates within the bloodstream (i.e. as Blood Sugar) and is much needed for energy especially during extreme physical endurance. Glucose provides Energy (via Adenosine Triphosphate [ATP]) to most of the body's Cells and is the preferred fuel for most Cells (including the Neurons of the Brain). Substances that enhance the function of Glucose: Supplemental Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) may be more effective for improving Athletic Performance and Stamina when they are consumed simultaneously with Glucose. - Some human studies indicate that MCTs are ineffective for Athletic Performance and Stamina improvement unless they are consumed concurrently with Glucose. Substances that inhibits the rapid absorption of Glucose: - Amino Acids - Medium Chain Triglycerides. - Green Tea Extract Substances enhanced by Glucose: Glycerol is formed when the Glucose molecule is split in half, forming two Glycerol molecules from excessive dietary Glucose derived from metabolized dietary Carbohydrates - the Glycerol so formed is then utilized in the endogenous manufacture of Triglycerides. Why use Glycerol? Endurance Athletes sometimes ingest large quantities of Glycerol (in order to induce Water retention) immediately prior to Endurance Exercise - the usual dosage of Glycerol used by endurance athletes is 1 gram of Glycerol per kilogram of body weight. - Glycerol attracts Water and readily permeates Cell Membranes by causing a change in pressure across Cell Membranes. It therefore counteracts the accelerated loss of Water (Dehydration) sustained by endurance athletes (especially when endurance Exercise is conducted in warm - hot temperatures). - The Glycerol component of Triglycerides (stored within the body as Adipose Tissue and released when the body requires Energy) can be converted to Glucose (similarly to the conversion of Glycogen to Glucose). Substances which neutralizes free radicals, inadvertently formed during strenuous exercise: - Green Tea Leaf Extract - Vitamin E - Vitamin C This is a brief overview regarding the careful selection of the carbohydrates used in the formulation of the gel and the ratios between the different carbohydrates and the addition of MCT and amino Acds.
  13. There is your carb questions sorted

  15. Thats why i had a politically correct answer dont you think ? Only supplying the info, the choice is yours , there are other factors which come into play too...its a personal thing
  16. its each to there own, im only putting down facts from the websites and its for you to decide, you must look at how much you pay for what you get ?? Then answer is maybe a bit easier ?
  17. ok, added vooma onto list in its serving size 30g as well. Just check the info i might not have it it 100% correct as website didnt give info about anti oxidants or anything like that Vooma retails R8.99 RRP at most shops but check info on list

  19. That is Vooma info from usa website but remember its per 100mg and they are a 30g gel, you got to divide by 3.3 will add it to table now

  21. Our pepto pro gel is R18.99 RRP Gu Roctane RRP is R34.95 Normal Gu is R15.95 RRP Hammer is R16.95 Powerbar is R17.95 This was from a shop i called quickly, prices might vary a bit depending on shops and not sure if all shops have put price increase into effect yet. Will get back to you on the carb story this arvie, just rushing out the door
  22. yes, done late at night...thanks for that.. The point is that we aren't a 32g gel and if you are paying what you pay for your gels then the table is what you get. We are bigger to not be so concentrated and have a more sustained flow of energy, so making a less of a spike. We are half the price of roctane, have more ingrediants and incl pepto pro
  23. THis was taken off GU website and all i did was add in pepto pro whasp.
