Follow the same method, then divide equally into 7 serves.
Every ingredient is multiplied by the same amount, so the ratios, strength and per-serve nutrition stay as recorded. This doesn’t tune carbs or sodium on their own — remix the formula for a different balance. Estimates and starting guidance, not medical or professional advice. Test any new fuelling strategy in training before race day.
Make your own version. The original #0003 stays as it is.

Where it comes from
- Inspired by community discussion; not a hydrogel replica or affiliated product.
- Reddit gives an 8:9:10 mass ratio for fructose, liquid and maltodextrin, and says salt to taste. Formu scales the ratio and weighs 0.5g salt for repeatability.
Good to know
- Refrigerate and make small batches. No validated shelf life.
- Where to find: Speciality powders; reusable gel flask.
