Summary:
What are the nutritional benefits of PowerBar® Gel?
A PowerBar® Gel packs the carbs and sodium of a sports drink into an easy-to-swallow, rapidly absorbed gel. Just like with PowerBar’s cutting-edge sports drink, PowerBar Gels are formulated with C2MAX, a 2:1 glucose to fructose blend found to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%. Each gel packet provides 27–28 grams of carbs and 200 mg of sodium. These gels are designed to top off your glycogen stores just before exercise, and to help you refuel during exercise. The sodium in the gels, along with the fluids you provide, help to replace the sodium and fluids you lose as you sweat.
