26 grams of carbohydrates per gel

Each PowerGel Original Lemon/Lime provides 26 grams of carbohydrates .

This makes it easy to calculate the intake:

1 gel provides 26 g of carbohydrates

2 gels provide 52 g of carbohydrates

3 gels provide 78 g of carbohydrates

4 gels provide 104 g of carbohydrates

Add up carbohydrates from gels, sports drinks, bars, chews and other energy. Adjust the amount according to the length of the activity, intensity and the energy intake that has worked during training.

Carbohydrate ratio 2:1

The gel contains maltodextrin and fructose in a 2:1 ratio between the glucose and fructose sources.

The combination makes PowerGel Original suitable for planned carbohydrate intake during long-term endurance activity. A high carbohydrate intake should be introduced gradually to allow the stomach to get used to it.

Therefore, test both the amount, timing and fluid intake during training sessions before competition.

Approximately 207 mg of sodium

Each gel contains approximately 207 mg of sodium , equivalent to 0.52 grams of salt.

The sodium content can be an advantage during long, sweaty activities, but needs to be considered in conjunction with other products. This is especially true if you are also using:

Sports drink

Electrolyte tablets

Salt tablets

Sodium-rich gels

Food or snacks with salt

The need varies depending on the amount of sweat, temperature, length of activity and individual salt concentration in the sweat.

Caffeine-free energy gel

The Lemon/Lime variant contains no added caffeine, making it suitable for when you:

Want to use multiple gels during the same activity

Working out late in the day

Are sensitive to caffeine

Want to control caffeine intake separately

Already using coffee or other caffeine products

Looking for a simple gel with carbohydrates and sodium

Powerbars caffeinated flavors are clearly labeled with + Caffeine .

Take with water

PowerGel Original is a concentrated energy gel and should be taken with water.

The water helps to dilute the gel and makes it easier to swallow and handle during activity. Do not take the gel with a strong sports drink without first testing the combination during exercise, as the total concentration of carbohydrates may be high.

A practical approach is to take the gel just before a hydration station or when you have access to a bottle of water.

Recommended use

Powerbar's recommendation is one gel every 20 minutes along with water during intense and prolonged physical activity of at least 60 minutes.

This is equivalent to three gels and 78 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Such an intake should be tested during training and needs to be adjusted according to:

Body weight

Activity duration

Intensity

Other carbohydrate intake

Fluid intake

Individual stomach tolerance

Start consuming energy early during longer sessions instead of waiting until your energy has already run out.

Example of energy layout

About 26 g carbohydrates

1 PowerGel Original

Taken with water

About 52 g carbohydrates

2 PowerGel Original

Spread over one hour

Liquid is planned separately

Approximately 78 g carbohydrates

3 PowerGel Original

One gel approximately every 20 minutes

Requires a well-tested setup

The gel can also be combined with sports drinks, bars or chews. In this case, reduce the number of gels so that the total carbohydrate intake matches your plan.

Trash Chain

The packaging has the Powerbars Trash Chain , which means that the tear-off tab remains attached to the packaging when the gel is opened.

This makes the pack easy to handle while running and cycling and reduces the risk of the small tab being lost in nature. Always put the entire empty pack in a pocket until you reach a waste station.

Suitable for

Running

Trail running

Ultra running

Half marathon

Marathon

Cycling

Mountain bike

Gravel

Triathlon

Cross-country skiing

Roller skiing

Long workouts

Endurance competitions

Lemon/Lime

The Lemon/Lime flavor combines lemon and lime in a fresh citrus profile. The tart character provides variation from sweet fruit, vanilla and cola flavors.

Switching between different flavors during longer activities can make it easier to continue following the energy plan when the race has been going on for several hours.
