Pillar Energy Gel 30 Citrus: 30 g of carbohydrates, caffeine-free
The Pillar Energy Gel 30 is a 50 g energy gel designed for endurance exercise. It provides 30 g of carbohydrates from two sources, added sodium, and a pectin-based texture, with no caffeine. One gel every 30 minutes is enough to structure your fueling during running, cycling, or triathlon.
Dual carbohydrate source in a 1:0.8 ratio
Each gel provides 30 g of carbohydrates from two sources, maltodextrin (glucose) and fructose, in a glucose:fructose ratio of 1:0.8. PILLAR Performance chose this dual source to target high carbohydrate absorption during exercise.
Added sodium and pectin-based texture
-
82.5 mg of sodium per gel to replace some of the losses associated with sweating;
- a pectin-based texture that is less sticky in the mouth;
-
zero caffeine, for use at any time of day, including late in the day;
- formulated by PILLAR Performance and made in Germany.
Citrus flavor
The Citrus flavor offers a tangy citrus note. PILLAR Performance says it developed its flavors with a European flavor house.
