Energy chews

What are OVERSTIM.s Ultra Chews?

The Ultra energy chews are our latest major sports nutrition innovation, co-developed with ultra-trail runner François d'Haene. Designed as an ultra-convenient pouch containing 4 individual chews, they can be carried anywhere and are easy to eat while running or cycling. They offer you an ultra-soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a perfect alternative to support your performance.

Why choose Ultra energy chews over gels or bars during exercise?

If you get tired of the taste or texture of gels or bars after several hours of effort, the Ultra energy chews are the ideal solution. They provide a textured alternative and genuine chewing enjoyment, while ensuring fast absorption. Thanks to our expertise, they meet the highest standards of digestive tolerance to spare you the slightest stomach upset out in the field.

What is the composition and nutritional content of the Ultra Chews?

Each pouch of 4 chews delivers 32 g of carbohydrates to keep your performance at its peak. To optimise your hydration and energy metabolism, the formula is also enriched with essential electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, calcium), offsetting the losses caused by sweat. For energy lows, there is a specific version with 80 mg of caffeine per 4 chews to boost your alertness.

How and when should you take the Ultra energy chews?

The Ultra Chews are taken during exercise. Thanks to their individual format, you can split your intake by having one chew at a time, at regular intervals. Remember to drink one or two sips of an electrolyte drink or Hydrixir Ultra energy drink straight afterwards to perfect their absorption.

How many Ultra energy chews should you eat, and how often?

To target 60 g of carbohydrates per hour, we recommend having 4 chews (i.e. one full pouch) combined with 500 ml of Hydrixir Ultra energy drink per hour. If you're aiming for an elite strategy of 90 g of carbohydrates per hour, step up to 8 chews (2 pouches) paired with your 500 ml of Hydrixir Ultra over the same period. Depending on your preferences out on the course, you can easily alternate these chews with OVERSTIMS gels or bars to vary the textures and hold off taste fatigue.

How does the collaboration with François d'Haene make a difference to these chews?

François d’Haene brought all of his ultra-endurance experience to this co-development to create a field-proven product. His absolute priority was to achieve a texture that's easy to chew even under high intensity, combined with flawless digestive comfort. The result is a chew tested and approved in extreme conditions to see you through to the end of your challenges.

When should you opt for the caffeinated version of the Ultra energy chews?

The caffeine-enriched version is your strategic ally during the critical moments of your race, such as a tough climb or the closing stages of a course. With 80 mg of caffeine per 4 chews, it's ideal for sharpening your alertness and actively pushing back physical and mental fatigue. Use it on your night-time outings too, to stay as clear-headed as possible on technical trails.
