What's not
in it.
002 / Free fromSports nutrition built shelves of ingredients we can't pronounce. We left them out.
The synthetic carb most gels lean on. Hits fast, crashes hard.
If it tastes like petrol, it probably is.
Real food does not need them.
Every dose on the label. No mystery.
What you read is what you eat.
Bulking agents have no place here.

A modern brand
built on ancient energy.
002 / BrandMost sports nutrition is built around maltodextrin and lab-made flavours. We started with the oldest endurance food on record, the date, and engineered a clean-label energy gel around it.
Real carbohydrate
Date syrup delivers glucose, fructose, potassium and trace minerals in the ratio your body already uses. Real fuel, not synthetic sugar.
Five ingredients
Every dose on the label. No proprietary blends, no fillers, no surprises at mile 20.
Performance-grade
30g of carbs per sachet, a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio, formulated for endurance training and race day.

answered.
006 / FAQIs MANNA really just date syrup?+
Date syrup is the engine. The other four ingredients (brown rice syrup, lemon juice, ginger extract, sea salt) balance the carb profile, settle the stomach, and replace electrolytes lost in sweat.
How is this different from a regular energy gel?+
No maltodextrin. No artificial flavours. No preservatives. Just five real ingredients, formulated for the same dual-transport carb performance the synthetic stuff aims at, without the gut cost.
How much carbohydrate per gel?+
30g per 40g sachet. 120 calories. 120mg sodium. Designed to be taken every 30 to 45 minutes during effort.
Will it upset my stomach?+
It is designed not to. Real food carbs and real ginger extract help the gel empty from the stomach faster than concentrated synthetic sugars.
