Description

A 30-gram carbohydrate gel with a less sticky texture. Thanks to pectin it is less tacky than many other gels, so it comes out of the pack easily. Take a few sips of water after each gel for the best absorption.

Made for long efforts with a high carb intake. One gel every half hour gets you to 60 grams per hour, enough for a marathon, a long trail run or an ultra. With a 1:0.8 glucose to fructose ratio, your body absorbs the sugars via two routes. You notice it most after two to three hours, when your stomach starts to protest with other gels.

In doubt? All flavours are caffeine-free, so for an extra kick at the end of a race you need a different gel. Not used to lots of carbs per hour? Practise in training first. Unflavoured is a good choice if sweet flavours start to put you off over time.

A calm, caffeine-free gel for long distances.

Why PILLAR Performance?

If you train a lot, you notice that recovery becomes just as important as the training itself. Poor sleep, heavy legs or an immune system that lets you down in busy weeks: that is what you want to avoid. That is exactly why we stock PILLAR Performance at Trail.NL.

The Australian brand makes micronutrition for athletes: magnesium for recovery and sleep, vitamins for your immune system, collagen for tendons and ligaments and an energy gel for on the go. The products are developed with sports dietitians and independently tested for banned substances, many of them Informed Sport certified.

For us, PILLAR is above all a reliable choice: well-absorbed forms, clear doses and tested for athletes who want to know what they are taking.

Frequently asked questions

How many gels are in a box of Pillar Energy Gel 30?

A box contains 12 gels. You can also buy the gels individually.

How many gels should I take per hour?

Pillar recommends 1 gel every 30 minutes, followed by some water. That is 60 g of carbs per hour. Take no more than 10 gels a day.

Does it contain caffeine?

No, all flavours (Berry, Citrus and Unflavoured) are caffeine-free.

Why a 1:0.8 ratio and not 2:1?

Glucose and fructose are absorbed via different routes. With almost as much fructose as glucose, Pillar aims to maximise absorption and limit stomach issues.
