WHY HONEY?

Honey has the added benefit of containing a range of micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals, all of which have antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, the long-term benefits of which, are part of our ongoing research into honey.

Optimal Carbohydrate Profile

Honey has an optimal carbohydrate profile, and the ratio of glucose and fructose ensures a balanced absorption of carbohydrates takes place. The glucose present is absorbed more rapidly into the bloodstream, and the fructose is absorbed more slowly and evenly, providing a more sustained boost of energy.

We’re committed to the long-term research into natural, alternative sports nutrition products and our initial research into our natural energy gels, focusing on malabsorption and gastrointestinal discomfort has shown a high tolerance for honey feedings during prolonged exercise where participants consumed between 2 and four gels per hour.

Further to this and in line with our competitors, analysis of blood glucose after the consumption of a Hilltop Energy gel saw an initial increase during exercise before reducing to a maintained level.
