The science of the date

Not just sugar.
A complete performance matrix.

05 / 17

Peer-reviewed nutrition science on the date palm finds a single whole food that delivers everything an endurance gel is engineered to provide. Rapid carbohydrate, natural electrolytes, antioxidants, and prebiotic fibre, all in one fruit.

Why dates
work.

Natural dual-source carbohydrates

Dates naturally contain glucose and fructose, helping the body absorb carbohydrates efficiently during endurance exercise.

Easier on the gut

  • No maltodextrin.
  • No artificial sweeteners.
  • No chemical aftertaste.

Real food energy

Five ingredients your body already recognises.

What's inside
one date.

01

Rapid carbohydrate

Around 70 to 80 percent carbs by dry weight, in a natural glucose and fructose blend.

02

Natural electrolytes

Potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus.

03

Polyphenols and antioxidants

Ferulic, caffeic and gallic acids. Flavonoids. Procyanidins.

04

Dietary fibre

Soluble and insoluble. Supports gut function and a steady release of energy.

05

Vitamins and trace minerals

B-complex, iron, zinc, copper, selenium.

Findings
from science.

  • Dates are an excellent endurance fuel.

    Around 70 to 80 percent carbohydrate by dry weight as glucose and fructose. The dual-sugar profile sports gels are engineered to deliver, naturally matched to glycogen replenishment under load.

  • Dates contain meaningful bioactives.

    Ferulic, caffeic and gallic acids, flavonoids and procyanidins. Compounds with documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. A real bioactive payload, not just sugar.

  • May support recovery and gut health.

    Prebiotic fibre and polyphenols may aid post-exercise recovery, immune function and gut comfort under load. The single biggest pain point in endurance sport.
