FAQ PowerBar PowerGel
What is meant by PowerGel?
The name PowerGel conceals a highly concentrated form of carbohydrates, which can provide energy rapidly even during intensive sporting activities. The nutrients are easily absorbed by the body, they do not put a strain on the stomach and supply fresh energy. The combination of carbohydrates specially designed for sportsmen and sportswomen ensures that the blood sugar levels do not fall too low after an energy high. Another advantage of PowerGel is that it is ideal for all sportsmen and sportswomen who prefer not to chew during training / competitions
How rapidly does PowerGel pass into the blood
The combination of carbohydrates in PowerGel is such that they can pass into the blood rapidly. After some 5-10 minutes they are already available to supply energy. Depending upon the impact of the strain to which the body is subject the amount of carbohydrate in one PowerGel supplies some 45 minutes of energy. For optimum supply it is best to take 1-2 PowerGels per hour. For longer sessions in particular start with the first gel after no more than 45 minutes, and don‘t forget that the PowerGel is most effective if you drink about 200 ml of fluid with it.
Can I use the bars and the gel together?
Of course. It is especially nice in long sessions to have a bit of variety. Moreover, different conditions and levels of exertion also require different forms of energy. Prior to a training session / competition it is always best to eat a bar about half an hour beforehand. This is the best way to provide all the nutrients needed for sporting activity. Subsequent decisions should be based on impact and individual digestion:
• during high-impact activities a gel is definitely easier to digest and provides energy more rapidly
• during basic training there is no problem with eating a bar now and again and those who don‘t want to chew can always have a gel
Tip: The gel has worked many a “miracle“ when people have been about ready to give up!
Should I drink something with PowerGel?
Adequate fluid is especially important for maximum efficiency. The body can also absorb carbohydrates more readily with a drink. Therefore it is advisable to drink 150-250 ml of water before and after taking PowerGel, so as to be able to use the energy as quickly and effectively as possible. The gel can also be mixed with water before exertion – in this way you would always have a delicious energy drink available in the practical gel belt.
