FTP Endurance Fuel Energy Pastilles are energy supplements designed specifically for cyclists, runners, and endurance athletes. Available in 1.02 kg bulk packs, each pack contains 30 servings of 34 g (2 pastilles per serving), delivering a robust 30 g of carbohydrates per serving. This equates to the energy content of approximately 30 standard energy gels, offering a cost-effective, high-performance alternative, keeping you fuelled for longer.
The pastilles are formulated with a 1:1 blend of glucose and fructose, enhanced with tart cherry flavouring designed to provide sustained energy and support recovery during intense workouts or races by replenishing glycogen stores. The mission behind these pastilles is to empower athletes to achieve their personal bests while enjoying a sustainable, enjoyable fuelling experience, free from the clutter of single-use packaging.
Each pack includes a zero single-use plastic reusable pouch, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability, a key concern for eco-conscious athletes. The texture is soft yet firm, designed for easy on-the-go consumption without stickiness or mess, making them ideal for pocket or jersey storage during long rides or runs. The unique eating experience—chewy yet digestible—sets them apart, with a flavour and consistency that athletes find hard to resist (even when not training).
This combination of performance, taste, and eco-friendliness makes them a top choice for everyday epic challenges.
The launch hero product is the Tart Cherry Energy Pastilles, celebrated for its Tart Cherry flavour, blended with glucose and fructose for optimal energy release. The Mixed Fruit Energy Pastilles variety is also now available - featuring a harmonious mix of fruit flavours to cater to diverse palates, also providing 30 g carbs per serving. Both are crafted to enhance endurance performance, with additional products in development to expand the range further.
Each 1.02 kg bulk pack of FTP Energy Pastilles contains 30 individual servings, with each serving consisting of 34 g (2 pastilles).
