CARNOPOWER ENERGY GINGER ALE Flavor <Caffeine+>, a gel that can be taken with one hand during exercise

Development background

It was born from the voices of athletes.

Eight years have passed since CARNOPOWER was born. We have been providing "CARNOPOWER DAILY" to support athletes in their daily lives and "CARNOPOWER STICK", which is ideal before a race. In the process, a new requirement was for an easy-to-swallow liquid-type gel that could easily replenish energy during a race.

We want you to not only replenish your energy, but also maximize your performance."

The new energy gel contains imidazole dipeptide (carnosine), an ingredient that supports recovery during the race and encourages the athlete to push harder in the final stages of the race.

[Birth of ginger ale flavor

Since its launch in May 2024, CARNOPOWER ENERGY RAMUNE flavor has been supported by many athletes and established as a standard energy supplement.

It has been especially appreciated for its ease of use and functionality in endurance sports and in situations that require performance for long periods of time.

In response to requests from athletes for support to help them maintain focus in the latter half of the season, when fatigue reaches its peak, we began development of a new flavor. Based on many of the comments, a refreshing ginger ale flavor was adopted.

The ingredients include 20 mg of caffeine to make it easier to maintain concentration in the latter half of a race or during critical phases when fatigue can set in.

Through repeated trial and error, we have perfected a product that combines a refreshing taste with functionality.

With the RAMUNE flavor as a standard energy supplement and the Ginger Ale flavor as an option for concentration, this lineup of products supports all athletes with a choice of flavors to meet their individual needs.

(2) Not just energy. Contains imidazole dipeptide and carnosine, which are essential for endurance

What is carnosine?

Carnosine is an ingredient abundant in animal muscle and plays an important role in human muscle and brain. It is effective in supporting endurance-intensive exercise and instantaneous movements that require power, as well as in last spurt and post-workout recovery.

Since carnosine levels in muscles can decrease with age and diet, it is important to consciously consume carnosine. Continuous supplementation of carnosine helps improve endurance and muscle strength. It is an ingredient that is attracting attention, especially among athletes.

■Why is carnosine important?

Carnosine is abundant in fast-twitch muscles and is especially effective in situations where instantaneous force and last-ditch effort are required. It also helps maintain performance during prolonged exercise by supplying energy.

Why choose Carnosine?

Carnosine is a type of imidazole dipeptide, but it is carnosine that is particularly important in humans. Compared to other imidazole dipeptides, carnosine is supported by athletes in many sports because its role is more suitable for the human body.

■Safe quality made in Japan and manufactured in-house

HAMARI's Carnosine is manufactured under strict quality control in Japan.

(3)Contains palatinose for carbohydrate, an important source of energy

CARNOPOWER ENERGY" contains palatinose, which is absorbed slowly, in addition to fructose, which is absorbed quickly, as an energy source. This combination provides an ideal energy balance especially for endurance sports.

What is palatinose?

Palatinose is one of the sugars found in nature, such as in honey. It has the same energy as common sugars (4 kcal), but is absorbed at a slower rate, about 1/5 that of sugar, helping to provide sustained energy.

It is suitable for nutritional supplementation during aerobic exercise, where the burning of lipids is promoted by preventing a drop in blood sugar levels during exercise, and is expected to improve performance, especially in endurance sports. It is also reported to help maintain concentration, making it the ideal sugar for energy supply during long-duration sports.

(4) New package design to increase tension during exercise

The new package design has been redesigned with a more sophisticated design that raises the tension while utilizing the "sense of elevation" of the previous version.

In addition, the "Pegasus" icon was adopted as the new symbol of the brand. The Pegasus, a mysterious being that keeps flying in the sky, is the symbol of the brand, which combines the characteristics of both a horse and a bird, rich in carnosine.
