When to take:
Ultra-distance events (6+ hours), Ironman-distance triathlon, 100km+ trail runs, or any event where you need to dramatically reduce the number of gels you are carrying.
How to take:
Open and consume over 2 to 3 mouthfuls rather than all at once. Follow with water or an electrolyte drink given the high carbohydrate concentration.
Recommended intake:
One Ultra Gel every 45 to 60 minutes replaces 2 to 3 standard gels. Adjust based on your individual calorie needs and race intensity.
Stack with:
Always take with water due to the high carb concentration. Can be alternated with standard Lecka Energy Gels to vary carb delivery and flavour.
Not recommended for:
Short or moderate efforts under 2 hours, children, or those with sensitivity to high-sugar intake.
Artificial Additive-Free:
Yes — no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives
Allergen note:

Lecka Ultra Gel vs Maurten Gel 160: Maurten Gel 160 delivers 40g carbs and 160 calories via hydrogel technology. Lecka Ultra Gel delivers 60g carbs and 315 calories from real fruit — significantly more energy per pouch, and far more affordable per calorie.
Lecka Ultra Gel vs Spring Energy Canaberry: Spring Energy is a leading real-food ultra gel with around 200 calories. Lecka Ultra Gel delivers 315 calories and 450mg sodium — more energy and more electrolytes per pouch.
Lecka Ultra Gel vs Precision Hydration PH 1500 + gel combo: Many ultra runners combine a high-sodium drink with a standard gel. The Lecka Ultra Gel replaces both in one pouch — 315 calories plus 450mg sodium eliminates the need to carry separate electrolyte products during the event.
Bottom line: Lecka Ultra Gel is the highest-calorie real-food gel available at its price point — purpose-built for ultra-distance athletes who cannot or do not want to eat solid food for hours at a time.
