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.
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.

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.
