  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PowerBar® Gel Blasts™ energy chews are a great choice before or during moderate and high-intensity exercise. They’re formulated with PowerBar® C2MAX dual source energy blend for more energy to muscles. In fact, C2MAX was designed to have the same blend of energy sources that were shown in breakthrough studies to deliver 20–55% more energy than glucose alone, and in another study to improve athletes’ cycling times by 8%.*

Fueling up right can make a big impact on how you feel and perform, no matter what you’re tackling. During activities lasting more than 1 hour, have 1–3 pieces every 10 minutes, followed by water or sports drink. You can also have a packet of Gel Blasts energy chews 30–60 minutes before exercise, to top off energy stores. (A pouch of Gel Blasts energy chews is the energy equivalent of 1.5 PowerBar® Gels.)

*Study done with drinks containing glucose alone vs. 2:1 glucose-to-fructose.
