FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are energy gels?

PowerGel® is a specially developed energy gel for athletes. It contains readily available carbohydrates, sodium, and, depending on the variety, caffeine. It is designed to provide energy easily and conveniently during training or competitions.

When should you take energy gels?

PowerGel is typically consumed during training or competition when the body needs additional carbohydrates. Depending on the duration and intensity, it’s advisable to take one every 30–45 minutes. Important: Always drink plenty of fluids.

How many energy gels can you consume per hour?

Consumption depends on the duration and intensity of your workout. For long sessions, one gel is recommended approximately every 30–45 minutes. Before competitions, you should test your individual needs during training to check for tolerance.

Are gels easy to digest?

Yes, they are formulated to be absorbed quickly. However, you should test them during training before using them in competition.

How many gels should you take during a marathon, and when?

This is a personal decision and should definitely be tested in advance during training.

There is a wide variety of drinks, bars, and gels available. Which one is right for whom?

The product format in which carbohydrates are consumed during exercise should be chosen on an individual basis depending on personal preference and the duration and intensity of the activity. If you have a sensitive stomach, are highly nervous, or are engaging in high-intensity exercise, energy gels and sports drinks are usually more suitable than solid food. During longer cycling sessions, a combination of liquid and solid food can be a good option for variety.
