“Energy gel generally provides carbohydrates and no fluids, so you’ll want to take it with water,” says DelloIacono-Thies. “There are no vitamins in energy gel and few minerals besides sodium, potassium, and maybe a little magnesium, and caffeine, so you won’t want to substitute energy gel for a meal.”
