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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
