Krono Nutrition: 100% Quebec sports nutrition

Krono Nutrition is a Quebec brand built for endurance athletes — runners, cyclists, triathletes, cross-country skiers. Its range covers everything you need for training and racing: energy gels, Krono Fizz for hydration, chewable Krono Chews and snack bars. Effective, transparent, locally made products — a great way to support a local company without compromising on performance.

The Krono range

Energy gels

A fast hit of carbohydrates to sustain extended effort, in a compact format that slips into a pocket or belt. Ideal for runs over an hour, races and long distances (maple-raspberry, blueberry, salted caramel, citrus, tropical and more).

Krono Fizz — effervescent electrolytes

An effervescent formula to dissolve in water, delivering the essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) lost through sweat, without the heaviness of a sugary drink. Perfect for daily hydration, long training and recovery.

Krono Chews — chewable

An alternative to liquid gels for those who prefer a solid texture. Easy to dose mid-effort, they deliver gradual energy without the gooey feel of a gel (maple-strawberry, maple-apple, maple-raspberry).

Bars and snacks

A more solid, lasting intake than gels, useful before training or for recovery, and on very long outings.

When to use what during your run

  • Before your effort: a Krono bar 60 to 90 minutes before the start.
  • Under an hour: usually not needed — Krono Fizz is enough for hydration.
  • 1 to 3 hours: a gel or Krono Chews every 30 to 45 minutes, with Krono Fizz for hydration.
  • Long efforts or ultras (3 h+): alternate gels, Chews and bars to vary textures and intake.
  • After your effort: Krono Fizz to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes.

Round out your nutrition strategy

Combine Krono with the rest of our sports nutrition: gels and chews, energy bars and drinks and electrolytes. Discover our other local brands too: Näak, Xact Nutrition, Brix and Upika.

Frequently asked questions

What is Krono Nutrition?
Krono Nutrition is a Quebec sports nutrition brand specialized in endurance: energy gels, effervescent electrolytes (Krono Fizz), chewable gels (Krono Chews) and bars, for training, racing and recovery.
Where are Krono products made?
Krono is a Quebec company whose products are designed in Quebec — one of the few endurance nutrition brands produced locally in Canada.
What's the difference between Krono Fizz and an energy gel?
Krono Fizz is an effervescent electrolyte formula to dissolve in water, for hydration and mineral replacement. A gel provides fast-absorbing carbohydrates for energy. The two are complementary: Fizz for hydration, gel for energy.
How do I take Krono Chews during a run?
Chew them in small amounts throughout your effort, generally 1 to 2 pieces every 15 to 20 minutes after the first hour. This spreads intake out, avoiding blood-sugar spikes and stabilizing energy.
How many gels per hour during a long effort?
Generally 30 to 60 g of carbohydrates per hour, or about 1 to 2 gels depending on your weight and intensity. Beyond 2.5 hours, some go up to 60-90 g/h. Always test your strategy in training.
Can I combine Krono with other nutrition brands?
Yes. Many runners alternate brands by taste and context. Boréal Running also carries Näak, Xact Nutrition, Brix and Upika. The key is to test your strategy in training to confirm digestive tolerance.
