From Lab To Field - ExoLactate Gel (40g Carbs & 5g Lactate) 68g

A New Approach to Endurance Fuelling

40g Carbohydrates. 5g Lactate. One Integrated Fuel Source.

For decades, lactate was associated almost exclusively with fatigue and the burning sensation experienced during hard exercise. Modern exercise physiology has changed that understanding significantly.

Lactate is now recognised as an important energy substrate and metabolic intermediary, continuously produced, transported and used by different tissues throughout the body.

ExoLactate® Gel takes that physiology and applies it directly to sports nutrition.

Each 68g gel combines 40g of carbohydrates in a 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio with 5g of exogenous lactate, creating a fuelling product designed to complement conventional carbohydrate intake rather than replace it.

Developed through several years of research and product development, ExoLactate® is designed for endurance, intermittent and high-intensity sports where maintaining energy availability becomes critical.

Carbohydrates + Lactate. Two complementary approaches to fuelling performance.

5g Exogenous Lactate

Lactate Is Fuel

ExoLactate® is built around a different understanding of lactate.

Rather than simply being a metabolic waste product, lactate can circulate between tissues through the body's natural lactate shuttle, where it can be transported and oxidised as an energy substrate.

Each gel provides 5g of lactate in a bioavailable formulation, designed to work alongside the body's existing lactate metabolism.

This means ExoLactate® doesn't attempt to replace carbohydrate fuelling. Instead, it introduces lactate as an additional metabolic substrate alongside carbohydrates.

Key Features

• 5g Lactate per Gel

• Exogenous Lactate Formulation

• Works Alongside Carbohydrate Metabolism

• Utilises Existing Lactate Shuttle Pathways

• Designed as an Additional Metabolic Fuel Source

• Patent-Pending ExoLactate® Technology

40g Carbohydrates

Built Around Modern Endurance Fuelling

Carbohydrates remain at the centre of the ExoLactate® formulation.

Each gel provides 40g of carbohydrates from maltodextrin and fructose, formulated to deliver an approximately 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio.

Using multiple carbohydrate sources allows glucose and fructose to utilise different intestinal transport pathways, an approach commonly used in modern high-carbohydrate endurance fuelling strategies.

With 40g of carbohydrate per gel, ExoLactate® can be easily calculated into an athlete's existing hourly carbohydrate target.

Key Features

• 40g Carbohydrates per Gel

• 1:1 Glucose-to-Fructose Ratio

• Maltodextrin + Fructose

• 171 kcal per Gel

• Designed for High-Energy-Demand Exercise

• Can Be Integrated into Existing Fuelling Strategies

Hydrogel Formulation

Designed for Performance Under Load

Getting fuel into the body is only useful if the athlete can tolerate it.

ExoLactate® uses a hydrogel texture designed for easy consumption during exercise and can be taken directly from the sachet or mixed with water.

The formulation has a stated pH of approximately 5, considerably different from the highly acidic profile commonly associated with many conventional sports nutrition products.

Its mild profile is designed to make repeated consumption easier during long training sessions and competition, when flavour fatigue and gastrointestinal tolerance can become increasingly important.

Key Features

• Hydrogel Texture

• Approx. pH 5

• Designed for Easy Consumption During Exercise

• Mild Sensory Profile

• No Added Flavourings

• No Preservatives

• Can Be Consumed Directly or Diluted in Water

More Than Carbohydrates

Each 68g ExoLactate® Gel also provides a combination of minerals alongside its carbohydrate and lactate content.

Per Gel

• 40g Carbohydrates

• 5g Lactate

• 284mg Sodium

• 100mg Magnesium

• 85mg Calcium

• 104mg Potassium

• 171 kcal

This creates a formulation that combines carbohydrate energy, exogenous lactate and several minerals within a single gel.

Designed for Endurance & High-Intensity Sport

ExoLactate® isn't limited to one discipline.

It has been developed for sports where energy demands increase substantially and where maintaining fuel availability can influence performance.

Suitable For

CYCLING · RUNNING · TRAIL RUNNING · TRIATHLON · SWIMMING · ULTRA-ENDURANCE · INTERMITTENT & HIGH-INTENSITY SPORTS

Whether the objective is maintaining a long endurance effort or supporting repeated periods of higher intensity, ExoLactate® can be incorporated into an athlete's broader nutrition strategy.

How to Use

ExoLactate® can be used before and/or during exercise.

The manufacturer recommends introducing it progressively during training before using it in competition.

Before Exercise

Take approximately 5–10 minutes before the desired effect.

During Exercise

The manufacturer's general recommendation is:

1–3 gels per hour, depending on:

• Exercise intensity

• Duration

• Existing carbohydrate intake

• Fitness level

• Individual gastrointestinal tolerance

A practical starting point is 1–2 gels per hour, providing:

1 Gel
40g carbohydrates + 5g lactate + 171 kcal

2 Gels
80g carbohydrates + 10g lactate + 342 kcal

Athletes should integrate ExoLactate® into their total carbohydrate and hydration strategy, rather than treating it independently from other nutrition consumed during exercise.

The manufacturer recommends rehearsing the strategy during training and allowing approximately 4–6 sessions for progressive adaptation before implementing an aggressive fuelling protocol in competition.

Gel or Drink — Your Choice

ExoLactate® doesn't necessarily need to be consumed directly from the sachet.

Its hydrogel formulation can also be diluted into water, allowing athletes to combine fuelling and hydration in a bottle or soft flask.

Suggested Use

Direct: Consume directly from the sachet.

Diluted: Mix 1–2 gels into approximately 500ml of water, adjusting concentration according to personal preference and hydration requirements.

This can be particularly practical for cycling, trail running, triathlon and long-distance events where carrying multiple individual gels may be less convenient.

Performance Research

ExoLactate® is positioned around emerging research into the use of exogenous lactate as a sports nutrition strategy.

The manufacturer reports performance findings including:

• Up to 3% higher sustained power during 15–30 minute efforts

• 10% reduction in rating of perceived exertion

• 12% improvement in average fat oxidation rate during moderate exercise

These figures should be understood in the context of the specific studies and testing protocols from which they were obtained. Individual responses can vary, and research into the optimal application of exogenous lactate in sports nutrition is still developing.

A Different Way to Think About Lactate

The concept behind ExoLactate® challenges one of endurance sport's longest-standing misconceptions.

Lactate isn't simply something the body needs to eliminate.

During exercise, lactate can move between cells and tissues, be oxidised for energy and participate in normal metabolic processes. ExoLactate® has been developed around this physiology, providing an external lactate source alongside conventional carbohydrate fuelling.

It is not designed to replace carbohydrates.

It is designed to work alongside them.

Why Choose ExoLactate®?

ExoLactate® is designed for athletes looking beyond conventional carbohydrate-only fuelling strategies.

Each compact 68g gel combines 40g of carbohydrates, 5g of exogenous lactate and key minerals, delivered through a hydrogel formulation that can be consumed directly or diluted into a bottle.

For cyclists, runners, triathletes and endurance athletes already paying close attention to their hourly carbohydrate intake, ExoLactate® introduces another dimension to performance nutrition: fuelling with a substrate the human body already naturally produces, transports and uses during exercise.

40g Carbohydrates. 5g Lactate. 171 kcal.
