What trail running pros say about sapple.

From Terlan. Not from just anywhere.

Easy on the stomach
“None of my athletes had any problems.”
Original: «Tutti i miei atleti non hanno avuto problemi.»
Why sapple
Real fruit. Real energy.
01
Doesn't sit in your stomach
Even at 5 gels per hour or together with a carb drink, no athlete in our test had stomach issues.
02
Tastes like apple
A touch of acidity balances the sweetness. No chemical aftertaste, not even after the fourth gel.
03
Full energy density, still liquid
56 g of carbohydrates per 100 g like a race gel, but without gelling agents.
04
From Terlan
Apples from South Tyrol, produced in Lana. A short way from the tree to the gel.
Because the others were sweet and chemical.
“Yes, I tried several, to get rid of my gut problems and also because the flavours tasted very sweet and chemical.”
Original: «Sì, ne ho provate diverse, per cercare di risolvere i problemi intestinali e anche per i sapori che facevano molto dolci e chimici.»

Compared
Until now you had to choose.
Thin gels go down easily but deliver few carbs. Dense gels deliver plenty but are sticky and need water. sapple has the energy density of a race gel and still stays liquid.
No need to wash it down.
“It didn’t leave my mouth sticky, and I didn’t need to drink anything after it.”
Original: «Non mi lasciava la bocca impastata e non avevo bisogno di berci dietro.»
Marco F. · Trail, long distanceProduct received in our athlete test
Drink a few sips of water with every gel.
Values rounded, based on manufacturer data.
How to use
When and how.
Rule of thumb
50 to 75 g of carbohydrates per hour, so 2 to 3 gels, from 60 minutes of effort.
Trail running
First gel after 45 minutes, then one every 30 minutes. With water from your soft flask.
5 to 6
Gels for 3 h
Marathon
One 15 minutes before the start, then one every 30 to 40 minutes.
5 to 6
Gels for 3 h
Road cycling
Dissolved in your bottle or straight every 30 minutes, 2 to 3 gels per hour.
6 to 9
Gels for 3 h
Gravel and bikepacking
2 gels per hour. In the heat, dissolve them in your bottle.
6
Gels for 3 h
Ski touring
Carry it in your inside pocket, 2 gels per hour.
4 to 6
Gels for 3 h
Hiking and mountaineering
On tours of 2 hours or more, one per hour.
2 to 3
Gels for 3 h
Honest answers
But …
Apple on race day? What about fibre?
0.1 g per gel. Freeze concentration removes the fibre, what remains is the apple's sugar.
25 g is not enough for me.
For 50 to 75 g per hour, take 2 to 3 gels. One gel delivers 25 g.
Why not my current gel?
Because we don't make you compromise: energy density like a race gel, tolerance like real food.
€3.29 per gel is expensive.
In the bulk box you pay from €2.82. For that you get over 80% apple from Terlan instead of syrup, made in South Tyrol. Shipping to Italy and all EU delivery countries is free from the 30-pack. And to try it, the trial pack comes with our tolerance guarantee: if the gel doesn't agree with you, you get your money back.

How reviews are collected▾
Anyone who has tried sapple can leave a review, including after buying it in a shop. Reviews linked to an order in our online shop carry the “Verified purchase” badge, the others are not checked for a purchase. About 14 days after an order we ask for a review by email. Before publishing we only check for abuse and insults, never the star rating, and we do not edit anything. Voices from our athlete programme are marked as tests and count towards the average rating only with the stars the athletes gave themselves. The athletes received the product free of charge for the test. Athletes marked “sapple partner athlete” work with us under a contract. We show their voices word for word in the original language, the translation is ours. Nobody is paid for reviews.

At a glance
Everything that is in it.
No marketing talk, just the real numbers. What is on the label is in the gel.
Product information
sapple Power is a premium energy gel made from over 80% South Tyrolean apple.
Three of the four sugars, fructose, glucose and sucrose, come straight from the apple. A little maltodextrin balances the ratio so there is not too much fructose.
Glucose and fructose come in a 1:0.8 ratio. One gel delivers 25 g of carbohydrates, liquid and without gelling agents.
What is inside?
Over 80% apple and 25 g of carbohydrates per serving (45 g). The gel is liquid, without gelling agents, and in our test it did not sit in any athlete's stomach, even at 5 gels per hour.
Ingredients
Concentrated apple juice (69%), concentrated apple powder (30%; apple juice concentrate, maltodextrin), salt, preservative: potassium sorbate.
Doesn’t even taste like apple. More like pear.
“I’m not really an apple lover, but strangely it tasted more like pear to me.”
Original: «Non sono un amante della mela ma stranamente mi sembrava più alla pera.»
