PowerBar Power Gel 24 pack

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've been training for a marathon since January and have been bringing a couple of the Vanilla Powerbar Power Gel packs with me on each of my long runs.

I've found that this product works best for me above all others because the consistency of the product is a lot less viscous and less thick than the other brands.

It takes A LOT less fluid to wash the Powerbar Power Gel pack down and it doesn't sit in my stomach like a rock.

I've used other brands and they have a tendency to give me an upset stomach, which is a total pain (no pun intended) when running 10+ miles. To the contrary the Powerbar product DOESN'T.

Each of these little guys give me the energy boost that I need mid-run to make it all the way through to the end.

Bottom line: The Powerbar Power Gel packs taste great, go down easy, and provide the energy supplement I need to get to my goal.

I use these when I run for over an hour. They taste great and are easy to use and carry.

I use the product before my early morning workouts and in the middle of my triathlons. I love that I don't need water immediately after taking the goo to wash it down. It also has a good consistency and hasn't ever upset my stomach.

When I run the 2010 NYC Marathon, I had to stop at Mile 23 for severe cramps. The medical team gave me plain salt and it really helped! I was able to finish the marathon (my first) in less than 5 hours. So sodium matters and Powerbar has 200mg of it compared to just 50mg on the GU (which was what I used during the marathon). Powerbar also has more carbs, more potassium and more content (41g vs 32g) and is less guey so its easier to swallow. It has however twice the sugar than GU (the sole reason I chose GU over Powerbar before). But I realize now that, sodium and carbs are the more important components in distance running so I've been using Powerbar since. I highly recommend this. Strawberry Banana tastes best!

I absolutely love the chocolate Power Gel. I think it tastes just like pudding and the density is similar to pudding which appeals to me; however, after about 3 hours of running I usually switch over to a different flavor like strawberry banana because it's not as thick. The more hours I'm running the harder it is to take in nutrition.

This product, however, is just tasty as a dessert and I can almost feel the actual energy blast I get from them.

During and after longer runs. Very easy to use even without water; best surprise: I didn't even notice in stomach.

Tastes great-no gross after taste. Really helps with cramps mid run, nice little energy boost.

I've tried most of the flavors and tangerine is the best. The caffeine is helpful, too.

I use this gel in training and in competition. I recently became a masters female racer. I believe in taking care of all parts of your running - training, recovery, sleep, nutrition and hydration. Mess up one part and you'll fall short. Take care of all parts and you reach your dreams. Race with powergel. Train with powergel. Repeat for about 20 years and make the all womens start at Boston at age 40! Dare to dream! Oh, and it only works if you are a woman.

I use the PowerBar gel during workouts as a source of carbs and caffeine. I've tried many gels and this is my favorite because of taste and consistent viscosity -- even in the winter.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

PowerBar gels taste great and are absorbed quickly. During long endurance workouts or races.....greater than 2 hours.....these gels are very effective in preventing a bonk or hitting the wall!!

I use this product during my long runs and long rides. Its size is convenient and it easy to carry and to to take.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I had one gel 30-40 min before starting 15 miler; then another one every 45-60 min during the run. I definitely felt better at the finish this time than 4 wks ago running 14 miles.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Ovreall a good product, a little too sweet for me. a little less liquid than Pacific gels, but still better than others.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have used Powerbar Gels for over 5 yrs. The gel is easy to use. In the winter months it does not turn to molasses like the "GU" shots. I take 1 every 5 miles on extented runs. No stomach cramps issues like other gel shots.

I like these better than the Gu and Hammer brands, which I find to be too thick and are thus kind of hard to choke down. These power bar gels are much more viscous and go down more easily. I usually don't have water to chase them down, and they are fine. Have more sodium I believe than the other guys as well, no amino acids though, if you care.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I usually take one about ten minutes before and roughly every 4-5 miles thereafter. I prefer this flavor over others because it is not super sweet. Yes it does have that artificial sweetener flavor, but the coffee flavor dumbs it down a bit. This variety is also much thinner (less viscous) and goes down easier. I still take with water when I can. Also, it is not gritty like other flavors and brands that I've tried. This is my second box I have ordered and will keep coming back- because it works for me. Numbers and stats cannot make the decision, you just need to e experiment a little and see what works.

I like that this stuff is not as thick and far easier to swallow with a dry mouth than similar products. The Kona punch flavor is quite tangy. It's my new favorite.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great product! Tangy taste + caffeine + carbs. Great pick up during an event

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Unlike others, this isn't like choking down frosting; goes down easy and has a little extra kick. Competitively priced too!

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I usually have a PowerGel every 6 miles or so. Through trial and error, I've found PowerGel's thinner consistency to be more palatable than other brands, especially in the heat of summer. More flavors with 2X caffeine are needed.

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Love this gel! I use the strawberry/banana with caffeine and take it right before a workout and then another about every 3/4 miles after that. It's easy to swallow while running and tastes good, plus it really boosts my energy when I start to feel low. Love this stuff!

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have tried many different gels and have found that the PowerBar PowerGel is the only one that doesn't upset my stomach. I train for and run marathons, so I may consume several during a workout, depending on the length of my long run. No stomach cramps or GI issues! And the taste and consistency is great also. Vanilla is my favorite!

Comments about PowerBar Powerfood Power Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've used GU and this Powerbar gel. The PB Gel is much easier to drink while on a long run. Fills the stomach and keeps the energy up as you keep adding the miles! Used 4 during a 22 mile run the other day.

Only thing I don't like is dealing with the tear off section when opening.
