That's why a starter kit is smart

Finding the right energy for long workouts isn’t just about choosing “most carbs.” Taste, texture, caffeine, hydration, electrolytes, and stomach all play a big role.

With a mixed package you can try:

How the products can be used

Before the pass

Energize Original can be used as an energy bar before exercise or during the slower parts of a longer workout. Powerbar's recommendation for Energize Original is 1–3 bars per day and that it can be taken with liquid before or during activity.

During the session

PowerGel Original , PowerGel Hydro and PowerGel Shots provide carbohydrates in different formats. The Original gel is normally taken with water, while the Hydro gel is more fluid and easier to swallow when the intensity is high.

Powerbar's product information for gels states use during intense and prolonged physical activity, often at regular intervals depending on the product and caffeine content.

Fluid and electrolytes

ISO Active is mixed with water and used as a sports drink. Powerbar's instructions for ISO Active state 33 g of powder in 500 ml of water and intake after thirst, for example 150–200 ml every 15 minutes.

5 Electrolytes dissolve in water and are used when you want to supply electrolytes without necessarily getting as much carbohydrates as from a sports drink.

After the session

30% Protein+ can be used as a protein-rich snack after training or when you want a more filling option. The set contains five protein bars.

Example of use before long races

Long-distance running

Try an Energize Original before your workout.

Use PowerGel Original or PowerGel Hydro during your workout.

Drink ISO Active in a bottle or use 5 Electrolytes in water.

Finish with 30% Protein+ after the workout.

Cycling pass

Mix ISO Active in the bottle provided.

Keep gels or PowerGel Shots in your shirt pocket.

Use electrolyte tablets in warmer weather.

Test different product combinations over longer rounds.

Competition preparation

Use the set during training, not for the first time on competition day.

Test one product at a time.

Please write down which flavors and formats work best.

Then build a competition plan based on the products your stomach can handle.

Important about caffeine

Some Powerbar products and flavors in the range contain caffeine, such as some PowerGel Original, PowerGel Hydro, PowerGel Shots and 5 Electrolytes variants. Powerbar product information includes caffeine warnings for several caffeinated gels and electrolyte tablets.

Therefore, always check each individual product in the set before use, especially if you:

Are sensitive to caffeine

Working out late in the day

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Buying the product for young people

Already using coffee, energy drinks or caffeine gels

Want to precisely control caffeine intake before a competition

Allergens and ingredients

As the set contains several different products, there is no single common ingredient list. Ingredients and allergens vary between bars, gels, drinks, shots and electrolyte tablets. Examples of allergens that occur in parts of the range are milk, soy, wheat, gluten-containing cereals, oats, almonds and possible traces of nuts.

Always check the respective product packaging in case of allergies, hypersensitivity or special dietary requirements.

Cologne List®

Powerbar states that their products are listed on Kölner Liste® , a platform that lists sports nutrition that has been tested for banned substances according to certification processes.

This is particularly relevant for competitive athletes subject to anti-doping regulations. The athlete is still responsible for checking the product and batch in question.

Storage

Store the products dry and cool.

Protect bars, gels and drink powders from direct sunlight.

Avoid prolonged storage in a hot car.

Close the powder can and electrolyte tube properly after use.

Check the best before date on each product.

Consume opened gels and shots immediately.

Keep out of reach of small children.

Important to consider

Test the products during training before competition.

All products in the set have their own dosage and nutritional declaration.

Add up carbohydrates, caffeine, sodium and fluid from the entire energy plan.

Sports nutrition does not replace a varied and balanced diet.

Some flavors may contain caffeine.

Allergens vary between products.

Drink as needed and adjust the fluid according to temperature, intensity and sweat loss.

Too much energy in a short time can cause stomach problems if the stomach is not used to it.
