The best energy gels for triathlon

Triathletes know that fatigue can strike at any moment — on the bike, on the run, or even coming out of the water. Even with perfect pacing, hydration, and preparation, you can still hit the wall and see your goals slip away. That’s why Neversecond C30 and C30+ Caffeine Energy Gels are engineered for the unique fueling demands of triathlon.

Formulated for Swim, Bike and Run

Our triathlon energy gels are more of a fluid than a sticky paste, which means they go down quickly and easily even at high intensity. Mild in flavor and low in sweetness, each C30 gel delivers 30 grams of fast-absorbing carbohydrate using our proven 2:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose blend—designed to sustain very high energy rates with very low risk of gastrointestinal distress. Every gel also provides 200mg of sodium to keep hydration in check and ensure fluids are absorbed efficiently across all three disciplines.

Isotonic Energy Gels for Faster Absorption

Unlike traditional gels, Neversecond C30 and C30+ are isotonic energy gels, which means they absorb faster and can be taken without water. That makes them perfect when you’re pushing hard on the bike, running through aid stations, or in race moments where carrying a bottle just isn’t practical.

Why Triathletes Choose Neversecond Energy Gels

Whether you’re racing sprint, Olympic, half or full distance, Neversecond energy gels deliver the reliable, stomach-friendly fuel you need to perform at your best. Trusted by elite triathletes and everyday racers alike, our gels help you push harder, go further, and finish stronger.

Why are Neversecond gels the best energy gels for triathletes?

Neversecond C30 and C30+ Caffeine Energy Gels are engineered specifically for triathlon fueling demands. With 30g of carbohydrate per gel in a 2:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio, they deliver sustained energy at very high absorption rates while minimizing GI distress—critical across swim, bike, and run.

Are Neversecond gels good for Ironman and half-Ironman races?

Yes. C30 gels are optimized for long-course triathlons where athletes need to sustain 90–120g of carbohydrate per hour. Their modular 30g carb system makes it easy to calculate and personalize fueling strategies across hours of racing.

Why should I choose Neversecond over Maurten, GU, or Precision Fuel?

Neversecond is the only brand with a fully modular fueling system: Gels, drinks, and sodium booster all use 30g carb + 200mg sodium increments. Isotonic gels for zero water chaser needed. Consistent 2:1 glucose-to-fructose blend across all products. This science-driven simplicity gives athletes predictable performance and personalization that competitors can’t match.

Can I use Neversecond gels during the swim-to-bike transition?

Absolutely. Because the gels are isotonic and liquid in texture, they go down quickly and easily even with a dry mouth after the swim, helping triathletes start the bike leg fueled and hydrated.

How do Neversecond gels help prevent GI issues during triathlons?

The isotonic formulation allows for rapid stomach emptying and efficient absorption, reducing the bloating, cramps, and GI distress often caused by thicker gels. The 2:1 carb ratio has been scientifically validated for high-intensity endurance fueling.

Why are Neversecond Energy Gels larger than other gels?

C30 gel packs are larger than others as they are an isotonic energy gel. Unlike traditional thick gels, our gels can be taken with or without water. Isotonic energy gels absorb more efficiently than traditional gels and are less likely to cause stomach problems. C30 Energy Gels also have a higher carbohydrate content (30 grams per gel) than most other sports gels.

What’s the difference between Neversecond C30 and C30+ Caffeine gels?

Both deliver 30g of carbohydrate and 200mg sodium. The C30+ includes 75mg caffeine for added mental focus, reduced perception of effort, and improved endurance performance—ideal for late-race intensity or mental fatigue.

Do professional triathletes use Neversecond gels?

Yes. Neversecond is trusted by elite triathletes and endurance athletes worldwide because of its science-first approach, precise formulation, and Informed-Sport banned substance certification.

Can I train my gut with Neversecond gels for triathlon racing?

Yes. Triathletes can progressively build tolerance by using Neversecond gels in training sessions. The modular 30g carb increments make it easy to scale intake to race-day fueling targets like 90g+ carb per hour.

Are Neversecond gels easy to carry during triathlons?

Yes. Slim-profile packaging makes them easy to store in tri suits, bike bento boxes, and run belts. Many athletes also decant multiple gels into a flask for quick access on the bike or run.

Why should I trust Neversecond gels for my “A” race?

Neversecond products are developed with elite performance nutritionists, tested in real triathlon racing conditions, and Informed-Sport certified for athlete safety. With consistent carb, sodium, and caffeine dosing, you get complete confidence on race day.
