Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------
Who should use PowerGel Energy Gels?
------------------------------------
Those that push hard to break their physical boundaries.
Dedicated athletes use these products when they're looking for
convenient fuel during endurance training and intense
competition.
How do I use PowerGel Energy Gels?
----------------------------------
On the field or on the road, tear open the package, drink, and
chase with a few gulps of water.
PowerGel Energy Gels are designed to be used interchangeably with
PowerBar Perform sports drink, a serious sports drink
specifically developed by the sports tion experts at
PowerBar. Both products are ideal before and during exercise,
specifically for endurance training and sports. That's why you'll
see committed cyclists, runners, and triathletes packing these
gels when they're training.
More details:
* During competition, or training sessions lasting over an hour,
consume 1 energy gel every 20 to 45 minutes during exercise,
along with a few gulps of water.
* PowerGel Energy Gels are available with 25 mg or 50 mg of
caffeine per gel pack (50 mg of caffeine is equal to about half a
cup of coffee). This is important, because some athletes use
caffeine strategically during long-duration events, either by
preloading with caffeine just before competing, or by consuming
caffeine throughout or in the later stages of an event. You can
also get them caffeine-free if caffeine is not part of your
regimen.
Do I need to mix the PowerGel Energy Gels with water?
-----------------------------------------------------
You don't have to, but for best results, chase a PowerGel Energy
Gel with a few gulps of water.
What are the tional benefits of PowerGel Energy Gels?
----------------------------------------------------------
A PowerGel Energy Gel has the carbs and sodium of a sports drink
in an easy-to-swallow gel that delivers convenient fuel to help
optimize your performance.
Just like with PowerBar sports drinks, PowerGel Energy Gels are
formulated with C2MAX, a 2:1 glucose to fructose blend found to
deliver 20 to 50 percent more energy to muscles than glucose
alone and improve endurance performance by 8 percent. Each gel
packet provides 27 to 28 grams of carbs and 200 mg of sodium.
These energy gels are designed to top off your glycogen stores
just before exercise, and to help you refuel during intense
exercise and training. The sodium in the gels, along with the
fluids you consume, help to replace the sodium and fluids you
lose as you sweat.
Do PowerGel Energy Gels contain caffeine?
-----------------------------------------
Both caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavors are available.
Green Apple, Berry Blast, and Strawberry Banana deliver 25 mg of
caffeine (equivalent to 8 ounces of a cola drink). Double Latte
and Tangerine are double-caffeinated to deliver 50 mg caffeine
(equal to about one half cup of coffee or 1 ounce of espresso)
for the times you need double the hit. Raspberry Cream, Vanilla,
and Kona Punch have no added caffeine.
