Pillar Energy Gel 30

This gel gives you a lot of energy in one serving. Thanks to pectin, the texture is less sticky than a regular gel, making it easy to get out of the packaging and preventing sticky hands. You take it without much water.

It performs best during long efforts where you need a lot Carbohydrates want to consume per hour. Think of a marathon, a long trail run in the Ardennes, or an ultra where you eat something every half hour. After two to three hours, when your energy drops, you notice the difference: the mix of glucose and fructose is absorbed well, reducing the chance of a bloated or upset stomach. The added Sodium helps replenish salt loss from prolonged sweating.

If in doubt, look at how much you want to eat per hour. With 30 g per gel, you need less for a high intake, but it is a heavy portion, so if you are just starting out, practice with half a gel during training first. There is no Caffeine in, so for an extra boost at the end of a race, you need something else. If you mainly want energy for long distances without the hassle, then this is a strong choice.

In short: a strong, gut-friendly gel for long distances without Caffeine.
