Brix maple-based energy nutrition

With Brix, enjoy natural energy nutrition made with pure maple syrup, built to support your efforts in running, trail and long outdoor sessions. Made in Quebec, Brix products offer a simple, effective, easy-to-digest energy source, from the first kilometre to recovery.

Why choose Brix nutrition?

Natural, fast-absorbing energy

Maple syrup, Brix's main carbohydrate source, provides simple sugars that are quickly absorbed. A clean approach that supports fast uptake and good tolerance during effort.

Built for easy digestion

Gastrointestinal issues are common in endurance sports. Thanks to a simple, short-ingredient formula, Brix gels, waffles and chews help limit digestive discomfort, even on long runs.

A local resource, from Quebec

Made in Quebec, Brix products showcase a local resource — maple — for a fuel well suited to the realities of training in Canada.

The Brix range

Maple energy gels

Compact and convenient, ideal for races and intense sessions: a fast carbohydrate hit without slowing your pace.

Energy waffles

A solid texture to vary from gels, perfect for moderate-to-sustained efforts and longer runs.

Energy chews

Bite-sized to split your carbohydrate intake and manage energy gradually, especially on the trail.

When to use Brix nutrition?

Before your effort: a light intake to stabilize your energy level. During your effort: a regular intake (roughly every 30 to 45 minutes on runs over an hour) to avoid energy dips — always take a little water with it. After your effort: carbohydrates to replenish stores and support recovery.
