Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 Lemon + Caffeine is designed for athletes who want to combine a clear carbohydrate intake with a planned caffeine intake. Each gel provides 30g of carbohydrates in a compact format, making it easy to include in an energy plan for running, cycling, triathlons, skiing and other endurance activities.

This variant differs from the regular Powerbar Fuel Gel 30 Lemon in that it contains 100 mg of caffeine per gel . This makes it best as a strategic caffeine gel during a race or hard workout, rather than as a base gel with every energy intake.

Powerbar's product information states that caffeine-free flavors can be used 1–3 times per hour as needed, while Lemon + Caffeine and Cola-Orange + Caffeine are limited to 1 gel per day during intense physical activity.

Ingredients

Water, maltodextrin 28%, fructose 22%, acidity regulators: citric acid, sodium citrate, salt, caffeine 0.2% and natural lemon flavor.

30 g carbohydrates per gel

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

1 gel provides 30 g of carbohydrates

1 Lemon + Caffeine + 1 caffeine-free Fuel Gel 30 provides 60 g of carbohydrates

1 Lemon + Caffeine + 2 decaffeinated 30-gram products provides 90 g of carbohydrates

Powerbar describes Fuel Gel 30 as a product with 30g of carbohydrates per serving and a 1:0.8 ratio of glucose and fructose sources.

Since this variant contains caffeine, the remaining energy during the workout should come from caffeine-free products, such as Fuel Gel 30 Lemon, Peach, Grapefruit, sports drinks, bars or other planned energy.

100 mg caffeine per gel

Lemon + Caffeine contains 100 mg of caffeine per 50 ml gel . This is equivalent to 200 mg of caffeine per 100 ml.

Add up the caffeine from all sources during the day:

Coffee

Tea

Cola

Energy drink

Other caffeine gels

Caffeine tablets

PWO and other supplements

Caffeine can affect people differently. In sensitive people, it can cause restlessness, tremors, stomach upset, palpitations, or impaired sleep.

Maximum one gel per day

Powerbar states that Lemon + Caffeine and Cola-Orange + Caffeine should be taken as 1 sachet per day during intense physical activity. This differs from the caffeine-free Fuel Gel 30 flavours, where the recommendation is 1-3 sachets per hour as needed.

This means that Lemon + Caffeine should be used as a clear caffeine boost, not as the sole source of energy during a long run.

Recommended use

Take the gel directly from the packaging.

Use it as a planned caffeine boost during intense physical activity.

Take a maximum of one Lemon + Caffeine gel per day.

Use caffeine-free products for other carbohydrate intake.

Plan water or sports drink separately.

Test the product during training before competition.

When is Lemon + Caffeine best suited?

It is particularly suitable when you want to add caffeine strategically:

During the latter part of a marathon

Facing a tough end to cycling

During a long trail or mountain run

During triathlons when caffeine is tested beforehand

During longer skiing or roller skiing sessions

When you want caffeine without coffee or energy drinks

Always test the product during training before using it on competition day.

Does the gel need to be taken with water?

Fuel Gel 30 is a concentrated energy intake, so fluid needs to be planned separately according to the duration of the activity, temperature, intensity and sweat loss. Water together with the gel can make it easier to swallow and reduce the perceived sweetness, especially during high intensity.

Suitable for

Running

Trail running

Marathon

Ultramarathon

Road cycling

Gravel

Mountain bike

Triathlon

Cross-country skiing

Roller skiing

Vasaloppet and other long-distance races

Intensive workouts

Competition setup with planned caffeine portion
