Energy Gummies
Energy gummies to carry in your hand on the ride, in your jersey pocket or in your padel bag. Discover our own-brand gummy bars (also called jelly bars): a berry one with caffeine, a peach one with electrolytes and no caffeine, and a cola one with caffeine for padel.
They're sports gummies for running, riding or racing: chew them on the move, in thirty-gram pieces, without stopping to open a sachet. They work well if the gel texture doesn't sit right with you.
If you'd rather get it all at once from a sachet, check energy gels; if what you're short on is fluid, the base is isotonic drinks. Own brand, with full composition on every product page.

Energy gummies in 30-gram pieces
An energy gummy is a chewable with carbohydrates, made for eating on the move, in small, counted pieces. What changes from one to the next is what's added to the carb: electrolytes, caffeine or both.

Choose by your sport
The deciding factor isn't flavor: it's the sport, the session length, the heat and the caffeine you've already had.
Running over an hour
Under an hour you don't need to eat anything. Past that, one piece every 30-45 minutes: divide your 30-60g per hour by the grams in each piece. Chewing doesn't mean stopping or opening a sachet.
Long cycling and trail
On multi-hour outings, beyond your stomach, it's your head that gives out: the same flavor over and over ends up putting you off. Alternating flavors helps you stick to the plan, as long as you count the caffeine in the pieces that carry it.
Padel and racquet sports
Intermittent effort and long matches: you chew at the change of ends and carry on. This is where the caffeine cola gummy fits, which also carries electrolytes and magnesium, and is also listed under padel.
Heat and heavy sweating
When you sweat heavily you lose water and sodium. The peach gummy adds a little sodium to the carbs and has no caffeine; it supplies salts, not fluid, so you still drink water as usual.
With electrolytes, with caffeine or with both
What changes is what they add to the carb; caffeine gets counted piece by piece.
No caffeine
Peach with electrolytes
The peach gummy adds sodium, potassium and magnesium to the carbohydrate and has no caffeine: it's the one you can use through the bulk of the session, heat included. It supplies salts, not fluid: you still drink water.
With caffeine
Berry, with caffeine
The berry gummy carries around 80mg of caffeine per piece. It's not the one to repeat all session long: count it alongside your coffee and gels. For the bulk of the outing, the peach one, caffeine-free.
Caffeine and electrolytes
Cola with caffeine
The cola gummy carries around 60mg of caffeine per piece, plus electrolytes and magnesium: count its caffeine alongside your coffee and your gel. Caffeine has no authorized claim in the European Union: the label can only tell you how many milligrams it carries.
What to check before buying
Three label facts, in order of importance.
Grams of carbs per piece
It's the figure that turns the pack into a plan. If the reference for efforts over an hour is 30-60 grams of carbs per hour, divide that figure by the grams each piece declares and you'll know how many to carry.
Which electrolytes, and how much
'With electrolytes' alone says little: look at least for the milligrams of sodium per piece, the electrolyte you lose most through sweat.
Whether it has caffeine, and how much
Caffeine dictates when you take it and stacks with your coffee or your gel. The label must warn: 'Contains caffeine. Not recommended for children or pregnant women', with the milligrams per 100g. Divide by the piece's weight and you'll know how much each one gives you.
Tip: open the pack before you set off and spread the pieces where you can grab one with one hand. One every 30-45 minutes with a sip of water, instead of three in a row at kilometer 30. They're a classic of the supplements for during training; what you lose through sweat is covered in why we need to replenish electrolytes.
Frequently asked questions
What are energy gummies (or energy chews)?
They're chewable gummy candies formulated as a sports product: they declare how many grams of carbohydrate are in each piece, which is what lets you dose them during exercise. Many add electrolytes, caffeine or both. In this category the format is 30 grams per piece.
Which gummies give you energy?
They all carry sugar, and an energy gummy's sugar is much like a regular candy's. What sets it apart is that it declares the grams of carbs in each piece: with that figure you know how many to carry to cover your 30-60g per hour. Without it, you're just eating candy by guesswork.
How many energy gummies should I take per hour?
It depends on the carbs each piece declares. The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand puts the reference at 30-60 grams per hour for efforts over an hour: divide that figure by the grams per piece. It usually works out to one piece every 30-45 minutes, not several at once, counting the caffeine in the ones that carry it.
Are gummies better than energy gels?
Neither better nor worse: they change the texture and the dosing, not the carbs you get. The energy gel goes in all at once and takes up less room; the gummy spreads across several pieces and suits anyone the gel texture puts off on long sessions. Many people alternate between the two.
Which gummies do I take for running?
For races over an hour, the peach ones, caffeine-free and with electrolytes: you chew without breaking your rhythm, heat included. The caffeine ones, one or two per outing at most. Under an hour and at a moderate pace, your glycogen stores mean you don't need to eat anything.
What about cycling or trail?
Trail is where the chewable's advantage shows the most: it's easy to handle with one hand and doesn't drip. Cycling has a different problem, the same flavor over multi-hour sessions, and switching textures is what works there. In both cases, count the caffeine in the pieces that carry it.
What do electrolyte gummies do?
They add a little sodium alongside the carbs, and the peach one is caffeine-free. They don't replace a drink: you lose far more sodium through sweat than a piece carries, and real replacement comes from drinking. They fit long sessions or hot days, always alongside water.
With caffeine or without?
Only the peach one is caffeine-free; the berry one carries around 80mg per piece and the cola one, around 60. Use the caffeine-free one for most of the session and count the caffeine ones: the coffee before you set off, the gel and the gummy all add up. EFSA sets the safety limit at 200 milligrams per dose and 400 a day for healthy adults, and everything counts toward that.
Can children take them?
They aren't candy. The ones with caffeine aren't recommended for children or pregnant women, and their label says so. The caffeine-free ones are carbs for sport; outside of sport, they count as just another sweet. If a child does long sessions of sport, the only caffeine-free one is the peach.
Are there vegan sports gummies?
Yes: the ones made with pectin, a plant-based gelling agent, are vegan, and each product page says so. That's usually where the difference with regular candy lies: an ordinary gummy often contains animal gelatin, and vegan sports gummies swap it for pectin or other plant-based gelling agents.
How are they different from supermarket gummies?
Not in the sugar, which is similar, but in the measured dose per piece and in what it adds: sodium or caffeine, declared on the label. An off-the-shelf candy doesn't tell you how many grams of carbs you get in each piece. Compare the label: carbs per piece and milligrams of sodium or caffeine.
