Several studies attest to the effectiveness of honey for athletes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Comparative studies between water and a sports drink with acacia honey (the honey used in the Organic Energix gel) have shown that it is effective in maintaining sports performance (1).\u00a0\u00a0This efficacy comes from the ingredients in acacia honey, which contains 29% glucose that can directly feed the muscles and be a quick source of energy during exercise. Additionally, it also contains 43.5% fructose which is a sugar that is more slowly absorbed as it has to pass through the liver before it can feed the muscles.<\/p>\n

It is therefore this dual source of fast and slow carbohydrates that make honey an effective ally in maintaining athletic performance. Lastly, acacia honey is about 25% water. Its liquid form is very interesting for athletes because it is much easier to absorb during a sporting activity than carbohydrates in solid form.<\/p>\n

Honey has proven its efficacy during a sporting activity due to its natural composition. Thank you bees!<\/p>\n
