The AMACX Sports Nutrition Range has just landed in South Africa, bringing top-quality, science-backed products to local riders. Trusted by World Tour pros and other endurance athletes, AMACX is already a global name, with endorsements from leading teams. Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just someone who loves to stay fit, AMACX has the right products to fuel your performance and help you hit your goals.

Trusted by the Best: Endorsed by World Tour Teams

AMACX isn’t just another sports nutrition brand, it’s a product line used by three World Tour cycling teams, including Visma | Lease a Bike, Q36.5 and EF Pro Cycling – a clear endorsement of its quality and effectiveness. These teams rely on AMACX for the nutrition they need to perform at the highest level, day in and day out.

The AMACX Range

AMACX offers a variety of gels, bars, and sports drinks to fuel your performance. The range includes three main lines: Energy, Turbo and Recovery, each designed to meet specific demands for training, competition and recovery.

The Energy Line: Steady Fuel for Endurance

What’s it for? The Energy Line is all about providing steady, long-lasting energy. Perfect for long rides or extended training sessions, this line delivers a balanced release of carbohydrates to help you maintain consistent energy without bonking.
What’s in it? Each product in the Energy Line gives you 30 grams of carbs in a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, making it easy to absorb and helping you consume up to 90 grams of carbs per hour during exercise.

The Turbo Line: Quick Fuel for Intensity

What’s it for? Need an energy boost during sprints or high-intensity workouts? The Turbo Line is made for quick bursts of energy. With a higher concentration of fast-digesting carbs, it provides an immediate fuel boost to keep you performing at your peak.
What’s in it? The products offer 40 grams of carbs in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, allowing for high carb intake of up to 120 grams per hour during intense efforts, like during racing or strenuous training.

The Recovery Line: Replenish and Repair

What’s it for? After a tough workout or race, the Recovery Line helps you refuel and recover.
What’s in it? Each product contains 20 grams of high-quality whey protein, which is perfect for jump-starting muscle recovery. The Recovery Shake and Recovery Bar also provide carbs to replenish your energy stores after endurance activities or team sports.

Use the Colour Coding and Plan Your Carb Intake

One standout feature of the AMACX range is the unique colour-coding system. Each product is distinguished by its colour, and the colour indicates the amount of carbohydrates it contains. For example, the blue products provide 30 grams of carbs per serving, making it easy to plan your carb intake per hour of activity. This colour-coding system simplifies the often complicated task of managing nutrition during long rides or intense training sessions, ensuring you stay fueled without the guesswork.

The Local Connection

Gear Change in Cape Town is AMACX’s official distributor in South Africa. They already stock some of the finest bikes, kit and components on the market, and the AMACX range fits in with their commitment to providing the best quality products and nutrition to South African cyclists.
