Since Cola-Orange + Caffeine contains 100 mg of caffeine and has a maximum dose of one sachet per day, additional carbohydrates should come from caffeine-free gels, sports drinks, chews, bars or food.
Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 is part of the 30/60/90 system and provides 30 grams of carbohydrates per serving.
The carbohydrates come from maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 between the glucose and fructose sources .
Maltodextrin acts as a glucose source, while fructose uses a different transport pathway for absorption. Combinations of multiple carbohydrate sources are often used in sports nutrition intended for higher carbohydrate intake during prolonged activities.
Individual tolerance varies, so a high carbohydrate intake needs to be tested and gradually introduced during regular training sessions.
Each gel contains 100 mg of caffeine . The product's declared caffeine content is 200 mg per 100 ml, which corresponds to 100 mg in a 50 ml sachet.
Add up the caffeine from all sources during the day:
Coffee
Energy drink
Tea and cola
Other caffeine gels
PWO
Caffeine tablets
Dietary supplements
Do not take multiple Cola-Orange + Caffeine gels in the same day. Powerbar's current product information states one sachet per day during intense physical activity for the caffeinated flavors.
Caffeine sensitivity varies. In some people, caffeine can cause restlessness, tremors, stomach upset, palpitations, or impaired sleep.
Each gel provides 205 mg of sodium and 0.51 grams of salt.
Sodium is an electrolyte that is lost through sweat. The need is influenced by, among other things:
Activity duration
Temperature and humidity
Individual sweat rate
Sweat salinity
Fluid intake
Other sports nutrition
Add up the sodium from gels, sports drinks, electrolyte tablets, bars and food. More sodium is not automatically better.
For the caffeinated Cola-Orange variant, Powerbar states:
Take a serving bag during intense physical activity.
Consume the gel directly from the package.
Take a maximum of one caffeinated Fuel Gel 30 per day.
Plan other carbohydrate intake with caffeine-free products.
Drink fluids separately according to individual needs.
The general recommendation of 1–3 Fuel Gel 30 per hour applies to the caffeine-free flavors. For Cola-Orange + Caffeine, a maximum of one gel per day applies.
1 Fuel Gel 30 Cola-Orange + Caffeine: 30 g carbohydrates and 100 mg caffeine
1 caffeine-free Fuel Gel 30: 30 g carbohydrates
Total: 60 g carbohydrates and 100 mg caffeine
1 Fuel Gel 30 Cola-Orange + Caffeine: 30 g
1 caffeine-free Fuel Gel 30: 30 g
1 Fuel Drink 30 or equivalent caffeine-free product: 30 g
Total: 90 g carbohydrates and 100 mg caffeine
Powerbar demonstrates the same basic principle in its system: a caffeinated gel is combined with caffeine-free products to reach the planned carbohydrate intake.
Cola-Orange + Caffeine is suitable when you want to add a clearly defined caffeine portion to your energy plan, for example:
Before or during an intense race
During the latter part of a longer cycling session
Facing a demanding part of a triathlon competition
During a long-distance race where caffeine has been tested beforehand
When other gels and drinks are caffeine-free
The timing should be tested during training. Do not use a caffeine gel for the first time during an important race.
Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 is easy to consume without having to drink water immediately afterwards.
This does not mean that the gel replaces fluids. Plan water or sports drink separately based on:
Temperature
Humidity
Intensity
Activity duration
Individual sweat loss
Access to hydration stations
Water along with the gel can also reduce the perceived sweetness and make it easier to consume at high intensity.
Road running
Half marathon and marathon
Trail running and ultra running
Road cycling
Gravel and mountain biking
Triathlon
Cross-country skiing
Roller skiing
Vasaloppet and other long-distance races
