According to the product specialist
Pros
| The gel's isotonic composition with 6.9% carbohydrates per 100 ml ensures optimal absorption of fluid, carbohydrates and minerals. |
| The compact size makes the gel easy to carry and use on the go. |
| The sugar blend with fast, mid-range and slow carbohydrates provides a quick energy boost as well as sustained energy during heavy efforts. |
| The addition of potassium compensates for electrolyte loss through sweating and contributes to a constant fluid balance. |
| The liquid texture promotes rapid absorption within 10 minutes, faster than energy bars with proteins and fats. |
| The triple action effect ensures both a quick energy boost and a sustained energy supply for optimal support of your performance. |
| Glucose and fructose use different transport systems, maximising carbohydrate absorption and ensuring efficient energy supply. |
| The addition of vitamin C contributes to healthy energy metabolism and helps maintain the immune system. |
| The Dual Carb formula with a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio enables a maximum carb uptake of 90 grams an hour. |
| The added sodium contributes to proper moisture absorption and makes you feel thirsty so you'll continue to hydrate during exercise. |
| When opening the packaging, you won't lose the tear-off strip due to the so-called "Trash Chain". |
| Some PowerGel flavours contain caffeine (51 mg each): Black Currant, Green Apple and Espresso. |
| Due to their highly fluid consistency, you can ingest these Hydro gels without drinking any water. |
| The Dual Carb formula with a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio enables a maximum carb intake of an impressive 90 grams an hour. |
| The added sodium (approx. 200 mg per gel) contributes to proper moisture absorption and makes you feel thirsty, so that you won't forget to drink while you're on the road. |
| Some Hydro gels contain caffeine: the flavours Cola (100 mg per gel), Cherry (51 mg per gel) and Mojito (51 mg per gel). |
Cons
| The sweet taste can be intense with repeated use but dissolving the gel in water makes it fresher and lighter. |
| As the gel is highly concentrated, it may have a strong sweet taste when taken in excess but this is easily avoided by adhering to the recommended amount. |
| Due to the high carbohydrate concentration, it is recommended to take this gel with a few sips of water. |
| The added caffeine makes the Black Currant, Green Apple and Espresso PowerGels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
| The added caffeine makes the Cola, Cherry and Mojito Hydro gels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
