Product Review
You know that mega-stack of pre-ride pancakes is just a sugar crash waiting to hit you thirty minutes into the ride, so skip the heavy carbs, opt for a light breakfast, and take just the maple syrup with you to go with UnTapped's Maple Syrup Athletic Fuel. We admit that we never expected to see "maple syrup" and "athletic" in the same product title, but -- as Cannondale-Garmin's resident Renaissance man, Mr. King himself, assures us -- syrup is "virtually the same as what you're taking when you're taking an individual gel pack," noting that, "inherently, it just makes sense." This never occurred to us because we're cyclists, not nutritional scientists, but leave it to a family collective of flannel enthusiasts in New England to make the connection between two of their passions: syrup and sport.
- Organic Maple Syrup: UnTapped maple syrup athletic fuel is sourced from the finest Vermont maple trees, offering all-natural, long-lasting energy for all activities.
- Long-Lasting Energy: Real maple syrup provides prolonged, sustained energy from all-natural carbohydrates, avoiding the quick burst and crash typical of other energy sources.
- Rich in Antioxidants: With over 50 antioxidants, Vermont maple syrup helps combat harmful free radicals produced by daily stress and physical activity. Its polyphenols effectively promote overall health, especially during intense physical activities.
- Nutrient-Rich for Recovery: Packed with essential nutrients like calcium, riboflavin, manganese, zinc, and potassium. Natural maple syrup helps prevent cramping and supports muscle recovery, making it a versatile addition to your diet.
- Convenient Single-Serve Packets: Each of the individual syrup packets contains 100 calories of pure energy, making it easy to carry and consume on the go, perfect for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.
