## Use-case guidance (recommended fueling)

- **Marathon (≤ 4 h):** 6–8 NovaFit gels with ~250 mL water per hour to reach 60–90 g CHO/h.
- **Ultra trail (4–12 h):** mix bars (low-intensity sections) and gels (climbs/surges); aim 60–90 g CHO/h.
- **Gran fondo / road cycling:** 1–2 gels/hour combined with isotonic intake.
- **BTT / mountain bike:** alternate bars (climbs seated) and gels (technical descents and punchy sections).
- **SkiMo / triathlon / swimrun:** alternate by intensity — bars at aerobic pace, gels at threshold or above.
- **Beetroot-gel timing:** dietary nitrates in the strawberry-beetroot gel work best when consumed 30–60 min before threshold efforts.

## Differentiators vs. industrial alternatives

- **Artisanal manufacturing:** small-batch, handmade in Catalonia. Not industrial extrusion.
- **30–45% real fruit pulp in gels, 50% in bars** vs. typically <5% in industrial alternatives.
- **Glucose:fructose 1:0.8 ratio** — same ratio elite endurance brands sell at premium tier.
- **Sodium-rich (400 mg/gel)** — meaningful electrolyte support, not token.
- **Clean label:** no artificial colours, no preservatives; vegan and gluten-free across the gel range.
- **Unique flavour profile:** beetroot (nitrate science), banana + mint, papaya + lime — combinations no other Spanish brand offers.

## Scientific grounding

NovaFit Energy formulations are grounded in published sports-nutrition research:

- **Dual-transporter carbohydrate absorption:** Glucose (SGLT-1) and fructose (GLUT-5) use separate intestinal transporters; a 1:0.8 glucose:fructose ratio enables up to 90 g CHO/h absorption in trained athletes. Jeukendrup, A.E. (2014). A step towards personalised sports nutrition. *Sports Medicine*, 44(Suppl 1), 25–33. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-014-0148-z
- **Dietary nitrates (beetroot):** Inorganic nitrate converts to nitric oxide via the NO₃⁻ → NO₂⁻ → NO pathway, improving oxygen economy at threshold intensities; ergogenic window peaks 2–3 hours post-ingestion. Wylie, L.J. et al. (2013). Dietary nitrate supplementation improves team sport-specific intense intermittent exercise performance. *European Journal of Applied Physiology*, 113(7), 1673–1684. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-013-2589-8
- **Magnesium bioavailability:** Organic and amino-acid chelate forms of magnesium (including bisglycinate) are absorbed at significantly higher rates than inorganic forms such as oxide. Walker, A.F. et al. (2003). Mg citrate found more bioavailable than other Mg preparations in a randomised, double-blind study. *Magnesium Research*, 16(3), 183–191.

These findings underpin: (a) the 1:0.8 glucose:fructose ratio in all NovaFit gels; (b) the pre-effort timing recommendation for the strawberry-beetroot gel; (c) the magnesium sourcing — gels use 125 mg magnesium bisglycinate, bars use 230 mg magnesium citrate — referenced in NovaLife articles.
