WHY I BUILT MANNA
I built MANNA because I was tired of choosing between performance and ingredients.
Every gel seemed loaded with ingredients I didn't want in my body.
I wanted something closer to the source.
Something runners could trust.
That journey became MANNA.

Why
five.
003 / ScienceMost gels are built around a single synthetic carb. Manna isn't. The reasons are below — and they matter at mile 20.
Dual-transport carbs
Glucose and fructose use different gut transporters. Combine them at a roughly 2:1 ratio and the body absorbs more total carbs per hour than glucose alone, without overloading either pathway.
That's the difference between fuelling and bonking from mile 18.
Real food, real fuel
Ginger isn't garnish
Questions,
answered.
004 / FAQWhy date syrup?+
Date syrup is one of the oldest natural endurance foods there is. It delivers real carbohydrate — glucose and fructose — alongside potassium and trace minerals, in a form your body recognises. It's the heart of MANNA's five-ingredient recipe.
How many carbs per serving?+
30g of natural carbohydrate per 40g sachet, with 120 calories. Designed to be taken every 30–45 minutes during sustained effort.
Does MANNA contain maltodextrin?+
No. MANNA contains no maltodextrin, no artificial flavours and no preservatives — just five real ingredients: date syrup, brown rice syrup, lemon juice, ginger extract and sea salt.
When should I take it?+
Take one sachet every 30–45 minutes of sustained effort, with a few sips of water alongside. Many runners take the first around 30–45 minutes in, before energy dips.
Is it suitable for racing?+
Yes. MANNA is built for endurance — long runs, marathons, half marathons, triathlon and Hyrox. We always recommend trying it in training first so race day feels familiar.
How does it compare to other energy gels?+
Most gels are built around maltodextrin and artificial flavours. MANNA is built around real food — date syrup, minimal ingredients, natural flavour — for clean energy that's easy on the stomach.
Will it upset my stomach?+
MANNA is designed to be gentle. Real food carbohydrates and a touch of real ginger help it sit lightly during effort. As with any fuel, test it in training to find what works for you.
