answers, to your questions.
everything you need to know about 2THRV, the gel, shipping, subscriptions, and what to expect.
01PRODUCT
five real-food ingredients. 30g of carbs. 250mg of sodium. no maltodextrin, gums, added flavours or preservatives.
we built the fuel around ingredients we actually wanted to eat. performance without the unnecessary extras.
because caring about your training and caring about your ingredients should not be two separate things.
we wanted fuel made from food we actually wanted in our bodies. maple syrup, dates, berries, lemon and salt. so we made it.
people who care what goes into their body and refuse to lower their standards just to get through a session.
run, ride, train or race. if you want performance fuel made from real food, 2THRV is for you.
no. you do not need a podium finish to care about what you eat.
first long run or another season of racing. the standard stays the same.
no. long runs, rides, hikes, hyrox and hard training sessions all fit.
it is portable fuel for effort. not a product you need a marathon entry to use.
light, fresh and berry-forward. maple syrup and dates bring the sweetness. berries and lemon keep it sharp rather than sickly.
no added flavours. it tastes like what is in it.
smooth and fluid. thinner than a thick, sticky gel, with no chunks, gums or added thickeners.
easy to squeeze out when you are breathing hard and moving.
because chewing gets awkward when the effort goes up.
a gel fits in your pocket, opens quickly and is easy to take on the move. bars and other food still have their place. use the format that fits the session.
133 calories, or 556kJ, in each 52g gel.
28.3g, from maple syrup, dates and berries. that is part of the 30g total carbohydrate in each gel.
because taking fuel should not feel like swallowing paste.
we wanted a fluid gel that is easy to squeeze out and take on the move. no gums or thickeners needed.
02INGREDIENTS
organic maple syrup, organic Medjool dates, organic mixed berries, organic lemon juice and Celtic sea salt.
the berry mix is raspberry, strawberry and blackberry. five ingredients. that is it.
no maltodextrin. no caffeine. no gums. no artificial sweeteners. no added colours, flavours or preservatives.
Medjool dates add carbohydrates that digest more gradually, helping the energy last. Together with maple syrup, they give you fuel that starts quickly and keeps supporting you.
Maple syrup gives you carbohydrates your body can use quickly. It helps the fuel start working when you are training or racing.
because you lose sodium when you sweat. Celtic sea salt brings 250mg of sodium to each gel, alongside the carbohydrate.
fuel and hydration belong in the same plan.
no. there are no added preservatives in 2THRV.
no. the texture comes from the food ingredients and how we make the gel. not added gums or thickeners.
no. our carbs come from maple syrup, dates and fruit.
we wanted a food-first recipe, so that is what we built.
yes. the sugars come from maple syrup, dates and berries.
this is carbohydrate fuel. we are not pretending it is a low-sugar snack. we care about where the fuel comes from.
no. mixed berry is caffeine free. you can plan your caffeine separately instead of getting it in every gel.
30g of carbohydrate in each 52g gel, from maple syrup, dates and fruit.
250mg per gel, with Celtic sea salt in the recipe.
no dairy, eggs, soy or nuts are added to the recipe. the gel is also gluten free.
we cannot guarantee zero traces of other allergens from manufacturing.
berries bring the flavour and colour. lemon cuts through the sweetness.
lighter, fresher and easier to keep coming back to during a long session. no added flavours needed.
we source organic maple syrup, organic Medjool dates, organic mixed berries and organic lemon juice, alongside Celtic sea salt.
we choose them for the recipe and the standard we want to make. not to build the cheapest gel possible.
03DIETARY
yes. it is fully vegan too.
yes. no animal ingredients. just maple syrup, dates, berries, lemon and salt.
yes. 2THRV is gluten free.
yes. no milk, whey, lactose or other dairy ingredients.
no nuts are added. that is not a guarantee of zero nut traces from manufacturing.
the maple syrup, dates, berries and lemon juice are organic.
the finished gel is not certified organic yet. organic ingredients and a certified finished product are different things.
the pack says it is not suitable for children under 15 or pregnant women, and should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision. follow those directions.
04USAGE
before or during exercise when you need fuel. during longer efforts, take one every 20 to 30 minutes according to your needs, with fluids. maximum six gels per day.
do not wait until you are already cooked.
one every 20 to 30 minutes, according to your needs. that gives you 60 to 90g of carbs per hour from gels.
count your drinks and other food too. the maximum is six gels per day, so longer races need a mix of fuel.
yes. one before you head out is an easy way to get 30g of carbs in, especially before a long or hard session.
work out the timing in training.
it is a fluid gel, not a thick paste. but keep drinking during exercise, especially in the heat.
the gel is fuel. it does not replace hydration.
work backwards from your expected finish time and your hourly carb target. each gel gives you 30g. count the carbs in your drinks and food as well.
maximum six gels per day. for longer races, build the rest of your plan with other fuel.
yes. gels are one part of your fuelling plan, not the whole thing.
add up the carbs and sodium across everything you use. practise the combination in training so race day is not an experiment.
a gel breaks your fast. that is the point: it gives you 30g of carbohydrate to train on.
if you want to stay fasted, this is not a fasted-training product.
yes. hard sessions need fuel too.
hyrox, long gym sessions, rides and team sports. it is not only for runners in split shorts.
yes, as quick, portable energy when you need it. you do not need to be racing to carry a gel.
it fits in a pocket. it is not lunch.
yes, when the session is long or hard enough to need extra fuel.
you do not need to earn the right to eat. try it in training and build the habit before race day.
use it when you need quick, easy fuel. that might be a long session, a hard workout or an early start.
you do not need one just because it is a training day.
space them out. one every 20 to 30 minutes gives you a manageable rhythm instead of taking a lot at once.
count your other fuel too and stay within six gels per day.
yes. too much fuel too quickly can leave you bloated or sick.
space them out, count the carbs and sodium in your other fuel, and keep to the six-gel daily maximum.
stop taking the gel and ease off. too much fuel too quickly can make things worse.
if symptoms are severe or do not settle, get medical advice. if something seems wrong with the product, send us the batch details.
yes. each gel already brings 250mg of sodium and 30g of carbs. count those alongside your drink or tablets.
if there is something we have missed or a question you still have.
contact us directly01PERFORMANCE
it gives you 30g of carbohydrate to keep fuelling the effort. a gel does not make up for leaving it too late or running out of fuel later.
take fuel consistently rather than waiting until you have nothing left.
gut comfort is one of the reasons we built it. five food ingredients, a fluid texture, no added gums or preservatives.
try it during training and find the amount and timing that work for you.
if your current gel is not working for your stomach, 2THRV gives you a different recipe to try: maple syrup, dates, berries, lemon and salt. no maltodextrin, gums or artificial sweeteners.
every gut is different. test the switch in training, not halfway through a race.
yes. just do not make the switch blind.
try it on a normal training day, then in a race-specific session. trust it on race day once you know how it works for you.
you can, if you have trained with it and know it works for you.
race day is a bad time to try unfamiliar fuel. knowing what you tolerate beats taking whatever happens to be on the table.
yes. long sessions and hot conditions were part of the brief.
each gel brings 30g of carbs and 250mg of sodium. plan your fluids alongside it, and use other fuel for efforts that take you beyond six gels in a day.
the formula is designed around a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, using maple syrup, dates and fruit.
five real-food ingredients: maple syrup, dates, berries, lemon and salt. no maltodextrin, gums or added flavours.
30g of carbs and 250mg of sodium per gel. that is what we built.

04STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
we are targeting at least 12 months unopened. once opened, use it straight away.
store it somewhere cool and dry, away from heat and direct sunlight.
somewhere cool and dry, away from direct heat and sunlight.
no fridge needed. leaving it in a hot car all afternoon is not the move.
yes, but you do not need to. it may feel thicker when cold, so let it come closer to room temperature if you prefer a more fluid texture.
we recommend a cool, dry cupboard instead. freezing can change the texture, and there is no need to freeze it for normal storage.
small changes in colour or taste are normal with fruit ingredients. the recipe stays the same.
a swollen, leaking or damaged pouch is different. do not use it. send us a photo and the batch details.
05BRAND AND TRUST
yes. runners and riders have tested samples in real training, not just looked at the ingredient list.
fuel needs to work when you are tired, breathing hard and still have a long way to go. that is the point of testing it.
no. 2THRV is a performance brand.
we care about real food and hard training. those things belong together.
because the category has enough vague marketing already.
what is in it. what it does. how to use it. you asked a question, not for a sales pitch.
no. we are not here to slap a health halo on a sachet.
we show you the ingredients, tell you what each gel delivers and let the product do the talking.
this is bigger than one workout or one race.
we are building a brand and products we want to keep using for years. the standards need to last as long as the ambition.
not settling for ingredients, products or shortcuts you do not believe in.
care enough to ask what is in it. expect performance without lowering your standards.
organic maple syrup, dates, berries and lemon juice cost money. those are the ingredients we chose to build with.
we are not trying to make the cheapest gel. we are making the one we want to use.
five named ingredients. 30g of carbs. 250mg of sodium. no hidden flavour blend or mystery extras.
we tell you what is in it and what each gel delivers. the rest has to be earned in training.
probably. first, we want to get this one right.
anything we make next will need to meet the same standard. no confirmed dates or flavours yet.
