Wonder Woman Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Gels give me cramps. Don't know why?! Probably because you don't drink enough water
AndreZA Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Gels give me cramps. Don't know why?! "what goes around, comes around" that's what my momma always say.
rad006 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Get sexy girls like the the Diadora girls to hand out samples at the expos. He had blue painted girls
Canaris Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Collin, here is a suggestion the energy suppliment/ sport suppliment market is more than just energy gels. Some guys prefer to use drink mixes over gels. I have a friend that actually mixes his gels with water in his water bottle. Also there is a bit of brand loyalty. If one USN/breakthrough/PVM product works then there is a tendence to stick to that manufacturer when buying other products (there is a belief that there is compatitbility between products from one manufacturer) ALthough you have a brilliant product (where is my free sample and are you willing to sponsor clubs) it is not supported by other products in a range. Although it is not always wise to diversify when you have a winner, in this case I would recommend it. Vooma was independent and taken over by USN. PVM/Energy dynamics also has energy bars, and drinks. Even GU has diversified. Good Luck.
swsup97 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Colin, What works for one person will not work for the other , in my case PVM products does it for me , i stick to their energy bars - lots of variety to choose from. Gels dont seem to do it for me - tried a few varierties including the Whasp gels and found that i got nausea's - got similar experiences with GU and that orange packet - dunno if this is the primary cause or could be something else havent been able to identify the problem just yet. Anyway Good luck with your sales. PS: when is that Whasp energy drink gonna be available?
Thug Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=33346&KW=whasp Here is link for my protein shakes and energy drink...Would you guys me rather put a pack together say valued at R950 for R500' date=' for energy drink, box of gels and cycling shirt ?? [/quote'] A good idea.
bruce Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Pornstar What's the rationale for protein in a gel? Won't the protein lower the glycemic index? Any of the research on these products published? Thanks Protein does lower the GI, but protein stimulates the production of insulin. Insulin is critical in the conversion of carbohydrates into glycogen so stimulating insulin production reduces the time it takes for the carbs you ingest to become available to muscles as fuel. Also, even when glycogen is not depleted, the body still gets around 10% - 15% of it's fuel from protein (i.e muscle tissue) through muscle catabolism - having some protein (in the form of amino acids) in the bloodstream can reduce the damage to muscle tissue through muscle catabolism. As far as I know, Energy Dynamics was the only gel that contained some protein. The protein/carb ratio is important because it affects the speed at which the carbohydrate is absorbed through the stomach walls.

Pornstar Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 All good ideas, go see how much protein is in energy dynamics...i dont think it really counts to anything.. we using 2g of Pepto pro, check out their website its very different to other proteins www.peptopro.com
Dirtbreath Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Cant read through 9 pages to check if it has been suggested but if I could order supplements via mail order I would. Log onto a site, order A,B,C and D and a few days later its in your post box/office.
