Powerbar promotes Fuel Gel 30 as part of its carbohydrate system where the products can be combined, for example with Fuel Drink 30 and other Black Line products.
A high carbohydrate intake needs to be introduced gradually, so test the amount, timing and taste during regular training sessions before using the same setup on race day.
Fuel Gel 30 contains carbohydrates in a 1:0.8 ratio of glucose to fructose sources . Powerbar states that the gel contains 30g of carbohydrates per serving in this ratio.
Maltodextrin acts as a source of glucose, while fructose uses a different transport pathway for absorption. The combination of multiple carbohydrate sources is often used in sports nutrition for longer endurance activities where energy intake needs to be high.
Individual tolerance varies. It is best to start with lower amounts and build up your energy intake gradually.
Cola-Orange contains 204 mg of sodium per 50 ml gel .
Sodium is an electrolyte that is lost through sweat. How much you need during a workout depends on factors such as:
Temperature
Humidity
Intensity
Activity duration
Individual sweat rate
Sweat salinity
Other sports drinks, electrolytes and food
Therefore, add up the sodium from gels, sports drinks, electrolyte tablets, bars and regular food.
This is the caffeine-free Cola-Orange variant. The ingredient list for Cola-Orange includes water, maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid, sodium citrate, salt and natural flavouring, while caffeine is only listed in the separate Cola-Orange + Caffeine variant.
This makes the caffeine-free Cola-Orange gel suitable when you:
Want to use multiple gels during the same session?
Working out late in the day
Are sensitive to caffeine
Want to control caffeine intake separately
Already getting caffeine from coffee or other products
Want cola orange flavor without caffeine
For the caffeine-free flavors Lemon, Cola-Orange, Peach and Grapefruit , 1–3 sachets per hour are recommended as needed during moderate to intense physical activity.
1 Fuel Gel 30 Cola-Orange
Total 30 g carbohydrates
2 Fuel Gel 30 Cola-Orange
Total 60 g carbohydrates
3 Fuel Gel 30 Cola-Orange
Total 90 g carbohydrates
An intake of 90 g of carbohydrates per hour is not suitable for everyone and should be trained in, especially when running, where the stomach is often put more strain on it than when cycling.
Tear off the top of the package.
Squeeze the gel directly into your mouth.
Take the entire portion or spread it over a few minutes.
Drink water or sports drink as needed.
Count the gel in your total carbohydrate and sodium intake.
Bring an empty envelope and throw it away after the session.
When running, it can be practical to take the gel next to a hydration station. When cycling, it works well in a cycling jersey, top tube bag or frame bag.
Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 is a concentrated carbohydrate gel with sodium. The gel can be used before and during moderate to intense physical activity.
Fluid intake still needs to be planned separately based on the duration of the activity, intensity, temperature and individual sweat loss. Water combined with the gel can make it easier to swallow and reduce the perceived sweetness.
