Powerbar Powergel Hydro - Orange | Individual

This gel is great for fast absorbing carbohydrates during endurance exercise, and is slightly different from their Original formula and offers a unique twist on the gel.

How to use it:

We like to use these for marathons, ultra-races, or technical/hilly sections of bike races where it is more difficult to drink water while taking a gel. Aim for one gel every 30-45 minutes. With the caffeinated gels, it’s best not exceed 400-500mg in a day, so alternate with non-caffeinated flavors as needed to avoid going over that limit.

What’s in it?

The Powergel Hydro contains 100 calories with 25g of carbs and a solid 200mg of sodium. Their Hydro contains water and fruit juice concentrates, so it doesn’t require you to take it with water and has a much thinner consistency (basically water). Additionally, the sodium that’s included in this formula helps with fluid and fuel delivery.

These factors make it ideal for runners or those who prefer a more liquid gel compared to the standard, thicker ones.
