Real carbs you can take mid-effort. No sticky fingers, no mess in your pocket, no fumbling mid-race.
01 · HOW IT WORKS
THE FORMAT
Six cubes per strip means you can dose in halves. Three now, three in twenty minutes. No leaking foil, no sticky bib. The chewing gives a small mental break instead of being another thing to choke down mid-effort.
THE SCIENCE
Most carb products rely on a single sugar, so your gut hits a ceiling around 60g per hour. The 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio engages two separate transport pathways at once. More fuel absorbed. Less left sitting in your gut. Plus 120mg of sodium per strip, the salt you sweat out. No separate electrolyte tab to carry.
FLAVOUR & TEXTURE
Plant-based pectin gives a soft chew that breaks down fast and never sticks to your teeth, the detail most chews get wrong. The berry is light and slightly tart, gone in thirty seconds, with none of the syrupy aftertaste. No artificial sweeteners. You’ll actually want the next one.
48g of carbs. 120mg of sodium. One strip. Six cubes. Done.
Fast-burning carbohydrate from natural starch. Absorbs quickly, so the energy reaches your legs when training gets long or hard.
Sugar that uses a different absorption pathway than glucose. Pair the two and your gut takes in more fuel per hour without overloading.
The mineral you lose in sweat. Topping it up keeps fluids moving where they need to go and your muscles firing properly.
A natural fibre from fruit that gives the chew its texture. Holds everything together without gelatin, so it works for vegan athletes too.
Real berry, not lab-built. Adds the flavour without the syrupy aftertaste most chews leave behind.
Where the colour comes from. A natural concentrate from black carrots, used instead of synthetic dye.
Fair question, it tastes that good. The difference is what it's built to do. A Haribo is sugar and gelatin, made to be a sweet. C.O1 is 48g of carbs per strip on a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, so more of it gets absorbed during a hard effort, plus 120mg of sodium. Plant-based pectin, not gelatin. Six cubes, so you can dose it mid-race. Built to fuel you mid effort, not just to taste good.
For most efforts over 75 minutes, one to two strips per hour. That's 45-90g of carbs, which is what your gut can actually absorb. On race day or for 3+ hour sessions, lean toward two. Start lower than you think and build it over training. Most athletes under-fuel before they over-fuel.
The 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio is specifically what your gut handles best: two absorption pathways instead of one, so less sits in your stomach. It's isotonic, no bloat, no sloshing. That said, every gut is different. Train with it before you race with it, like you would anything else.
Maltodextrin, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, sodium chloride, monopotassium phosphate, magnesium citrate, and natural flavouring. That's the whole list. No fillers, no synthetic aromas, no gelatin. Vegan and gluten-free. Made in The Netherlands.
Three things. First, you can dose it. Six chews per strip means you can take three now and three in twenty minutes, instead of swallowing a whole gel because that's the only option. Second, the chew gives you a small mental break from the effort instead of being another thing to choke down. Third, no leaking. Foil in your pocket, foil in the bin. No sticky bib.
Yes, that's part of the point. Three chews is roughly 22g of carbs, half a FuelPoint. Useful when you want to top up between bigger doses, or on lower-intensity days where a full strip is too much.
Once you tear the foil, eat the rest within the session. Unopened, the strip is good until the printed date on the back. The chew doesn't melt the way gels burst, so it survives summer rides and hot bib pockets fine.
