FTP Energy Pastilles are carbohydrate energy chews for runners, cyclists and triathletes who want reliable fuel without the mess of gels. Two pastilles give you 30g of carbohydrate from a 1:1 glucose-fructose blend, and at 90g of carbs per 100g they carry a lot of fuel for very little weight.
Most athletes take 30 to 45g of carbs an hour on steady efforts and 60 to 90g an hour on long or hard sessions. That's one to three servings (2 to 6 pastilles) an hour.
Start eating in the first 20 to 30 minutes, before you feel hungry, then take a pastille or two every 15 to 20 minutes rather than all at once. Drink water or an electrolyte drink alongside.
Carry them in a pocket, vest or bike bag, or pre-portion your session's fuel into an Adventure Pouch. Try them in training before race day.

The mixed fruit flavours rotate as you fuel, which is exactly what keeps you eating when everything else starts tasting the same.

💡 Do the maths
One 1kg pack ≈ 30 servings — the same fuel as ~36 gels. At typical gel prices (£1.50–£2 each) that's £54–£72 of gels. This pack: £44.99. Same carbs, less plastic, better taste.
Start eating early in the session rather than waiting until you feel hungry, and keep taking a pastille or two at regular intervals for the rest of the effort. Carry them in a pocket, vest or bike bag — or pre-portion servings into a reusable, waterproof FTP Adventure Pouch (sold separately). Full guide: How Many Carbs Per Hour →

About 30 servings of two pastilles, each around 30g of carbohydrate. That is roughly 15 long sessions at two servings each, at about £1.50 a serving.
Two pastilles give about 30g of carbohydrate from a 1:1 glucose and fructose blend. Most runners and cyclists take 2 to 4 an hour, or add a bottle of Power Fluids to reach 60–90g an hour on long or race-pace sessions.
Yes, they are vegan and dairy free. They contain a gluten-free grade wheat starch, with gluten below 20ppm, and are packed in a facility that handles cereals and peanuts. They are made for adult endurance athletes and are not recommended for children.
They give the same fast carbs as a gel, but you can eat one at a time, carry a whole session in one reusable pouch and skip the sticky wrappers. Many runners find little and often easier on the stomach.
Same pastille, same carbs. Tart Cherry is a sharper, less sweet flavour, while Mixed Fruit is apple, orange and strawberry. Many athletes rotate the two on long days, which is what the Rotation Pack is for.
We usually dispatch the same day if you order by 8pm UK time. UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £30, and most orders arrive 2 to 3 working days after dispatch.
