Pillar Energy Gel 30 Original: 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-source carbohydrates 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 these two sources 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 sodium lost through sweat;
- a pectin-based texture that is less sticky in the mouth;
-
zero caffeine, for use at any time of day, including later in the day;
- formulated by PILLAR Performance and made in Germany.
Original flavor: the unflavored version
The Original flavor contains no flavorings. Its neutral taste suits athletes who tire of sweet, flavored gels on long rides.
How to use
- Open the sachet and consume the gel in several portions;
- take 1 gel every 30 minutes of exercise;
- drink a few sips of water after each gel for better absorption and digestive comfort;
