NUTRITION
What are the nutritional benefits of POWERBAR GEL Carbohydrate Electrolyte Blend?

  • Carbohydrates. POWERBAR GEL Carbohydrate Electrolyte Blend is formulated with POWERBAR® C2 MAX, an optimized 2:1 glucose-fructose carbohydrate blend for fast energy to muscles. Learn more about POWERBAR C2 MAX.
  • Electrolytes. POWERBAR GEL Carbohydrate Electrolyte Blend also works great during intense exercise to help your body maintain hydration. It is important to maintain electrolytes while exercising. When you sweat you lose water and electrolytes, so it's important in longer events to replace them. POWERBAR GEL Carbohydrate Electrolyte Blend contains the electrolytes sodium and potassium. We have raised the sodium content to provide even more electrolyte replacement — a key ingredient lost in sweat (50 mg vs. 200 mg in new POWERBAR GEL Carbohydrate Electrolyte Blend.)
  • Low or Non-Fat. With little to no fat, you're not dragged down.
  • Caffeinated and Non-Caffeinated Flavours. Choose between caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavours. Strawberry Banana delivers 25mg of caffeine per 41 g serving (equivalent to 8 oz. of cola soft drink) derived from kola nut extract. Double Latte delivers 50mg caffeine per 41 g serving (equal to about one half cup (4 oz) of drip or brewed coffee) for the times you need double the boost. Vanilla and Chocolate have no added caffeine.
