Ingredients

Water, maltodextrin, fructose, acidity regulators: citric acid, sodium citrate, salt and natural lemon flavor.

30 g carbohydrates per gel

Each serving provides 30 g of carbohydrates , making the product easy to include in an energy plan:

1 gel provides 30 g of carbohydrates

2 gels provide 60 g of carbohydrates

3 gels provide 90 g of carbohydrates

4 gels provide 120 g of carbohydrates

Fuel Gel 30 is particularly convenient when you want to plan your energy intake in clear increments of 30 grams and combine it with sports drinks, energy bars or other Black Line products.

Carbohydrate ratio 1:0.8

Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 contains carbohydrates in a ratio of 1:0.8 between glucose and fructose sources . The combination is designed for endurance athletes who want to provide multiple carbohydrate sources during longer activity.

A higher carbohydrate intake is not automatically right for everyone, so test the amount, timing and taste during training before using the same setup on race day.

Approximately 202 mg sodium per gel

The Lemon variant contains approximately 202 mg of sodium per 50 ml gel . Sodium is an electrolyte that is lost through sweat and may need to be replenished during longer, hotter workouts.

Sodium needs are affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, duration of activity, individual sweat rate, sweat salinity, fluid intake and other products you use. Therefore, also include sports drinks, electrolyte tablets, bars and regular food.

Caffeine-free Lemon variant

Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 Lemon is caffeine-free, making it easier to use as a base gel for multiple energy intakes during the same activity.

It is important to distinguish it from Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 Lemon + Caffeine , which contains 100mg of caffeine per 50ml gel and has different dosage instructions. For decaffeinated flavours, Powerbar states 1-3 sachets per hour as needed, while caffeinated variants are limited to 1 sachet per day.

Recommended use

For caffeine-free Fuel Gel 30 flavors, Powerbar recommends 1-3 sachets per hour as needed during moderate to intense physical activity. This equates to 30-90g of carbohydrates per hour from the gel.

Lower carbohydrate goals

1 gel per hour

30 g carbohydrates

Moderate carbohydrate goal

2 gels per hour

60 g carbohydrates

Approximately 404 mg of sodium

Higher carbohydrate goals

3 gels per hour

90 g carbohydrates

Approximately 606 mg of sodium

An intake of 90 g of carbohydrates per hour needs to be worked into gradually, especially when running, where the stomach is often more stressed than when cycling.

How to use the gel

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.

Follow your planned carbohydrate and fluid regimen.

Put the empty envelope in your pocket and throw it away after the pass.

When running, it can be practical to take the gel near a hydration station. When cycling, it can be stored in a jersey pocket, top tube bag or frame bag.

Does the gel need to be taken with water?

Powerbar describes Fuel Gel 30 as a concentrated carbohydrate gel with sodium for athletes and states that the product is used before and during activity. Fluid needs to be planned separately according to the duration, intensity of the activity and weather conditions.

Water along with the gel can make it easier to swallow, reduce the perceived sweetness, and help you maintain a more consistent fluid intake.
