Sachet de gommes énergétiques Overstim.s Gommes Ultra Caféine 40g

Ultra Gels have a gel-like, soft and melt-in-the-mouth texture, making them easy to chew even after several hours of exercise. After several hours of riding, gels or energy bars can become difficult to consume, whether due to their texture becoming stiff or a feeling of nausea from repeated consumption. Ultra Gummies offer a genuine alternative thanks to their soft texture: they can be chewed effortlessly, even during high-intensity activity. This texture preserves the enjoyment of eating, an important factor in maintaining an effective nutritional strategy throughout a long ride. The 4-gum sachet format also allows you to consume them one at a time, at your own pace, unlike a gel, which is usually consumed in a single go. This feature makes them a valuable addition to the other formats in the OVERSTIMS range, helping to vary the sensations in your mouth during ultra-distance events.

No, only the Cola and Lemon-Ginger flavours contain caffeine, at a level of 80 mg per packet of 4 sweets. According to the available information, the Lemon-Lime and Blueberry flavours do not contain caffeine. This distinction allows you to choose the flavour to suit the stage of your race or training session: the caffeinated varieties may be preferred for the most demanding moments, such as at the end of a session, when an extra boost is needed. Per 100 g of product, the caffeine content of the relevant versions is 200 mg. This information is particularly useful for athletes who wish to precisely manage their caffeine intake over the course of an ultra-marathon or endurance event, for example by alternating between caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavours depending on the stage of the race.

It is recommended that you drink one or two sips of Hydrixir Ultra energy drink after each intake of Ultra Gummies. This combination aids the digestion and absorption of the carbohydrates provided by the Ultra Gummies. More generally, the recommended nutritional strategy systematically combines Ultra Gummies with Hydrixir Ultra on an hourly basis: 500 ml of drink for 4 or 8 gummies, depending on the target carbohydrate intake per hour (60 g or 90 g). This combination of solid and liquid helps to manage hydration and energy intake more effectively during long-duration exercise. Ultra Gummies are also formulated to offer excellent digestive tolerance, an essential factor during prolonged exercise where digestive discomfort can compromise performance and the ability to eat regularly.

Ultra Gummies are available in four flavours: Lemon-Lime, Lemon-Ginger (caffeine), Cola (caffeine) and Blueberry. Each flavour has its own list of ingredients, with variations in the natural flavourings used and whether or not they contain caffeine. The Lemon-Ginger flavour combines natural lemon flavouring with ginger essential oil, whilst the Cola flavour uses caramelised sugar syrup to achieve its characteristic taste. The Blueberry flavour is distinguished by the use of concentrated elderberry juice. This variety of flavours allows athletes to alternate between them during prolonged exertion to avoid flavour fatigue, a common issue during ultra-distance events where athletes must consume food and drink regularly over many hours.

The information available on the composition does not explicitly mention any vegan or gluten-free certification. Upon analysing the list of ingredients (glucose syrup, sugar, acidifier, pectin-based gelling agent, magnesium citrate, tricalcium phosphate, natural flavourings and carnauba wax as a coating agent), no ingredients of animal origin appear directly, and there is no mention of gluten or gluten-containing cereals in the formula. However, in the absence of explicit, certified information on the product information sheet regarding these two dietary requirements, it is recommended that you check this information directly on the product packaging or with OVERSTIM.s customer services before consumption, particularly in the event of an allergy or strict intolerance.

François d’Haene, four-time winner of the UTMB, has drawn on his ultra-endurance experience to help develop Gommes Ultra. The aim of this collaboration was to design a high-performance energy solution that is easy to consume whilst out on the trail, with a texture that is pleasant to chew even during periods of intense exertion, and a formulation designed to support the longest endurance efforts. This practical expertise, gained on the most demanding ultra-trail routes, helped guide the formulation choices towards a texture that remains easy to consume after several hours of exertion, unlike certain gels or bars which can become difficult to swallow towards the end of a race. The Ultra Gummies were tested under demanding conditions before being launched on the market.

Ultra rubbers are available in 3 pack sizes: 4 sachets, 12 sachets (10% saving) and 24 sachets (17% saving). Each sachet contains 4 individual erasers, allowing you to tailor the quantity purchased to your frequency of use and the number of training sessions or races planned. The net weight of the 4-sachet pack is 160g. The larger packs (12 and 24 sachets) offer a volume discount whilst allowing you to build up a stock for several long rides or endurance events. The choice of pack size depends mainly on how regularly the athlete trains and their usual intake of energy products during long runs or ultra-endurance races.
