Product Information
Full details
PowerBar PowerGel Energy Shots are designed for endurance athletes and active individuals who need a quick, portable carbohydrate boost without the texture of traditional gels or bars. Featuring a proprietary C2MAX dual-source energy blend, these gums provide sustained fuel through a unique liquid-filled center, making them an excellent choice for mid-activity consumption; however, they may not be ideal for those who prefer slow-release, whole-food energy sources over concentrated glucose-fructose blends.

FAQs
How many shots equal one standard energy gel?
Five shots deliver approximately the same amount of carbohydrates as one traditional PowerGel.
Do I need to drink water with these?

Are there artificial preservatives in these shots?
No, PowerGel Energy Shots are formulated without any artificial flavors or preservatives.
What is C2MAX?
C2MAX is a scientifically developed 2:1 ratio of glucose and fructose sources designed to maximize energy delivery to the muscles.
Can I carry these in a jersey pocket?
Yes, the compact and resealable pouch is specifically designed to fit into cycling jersey pockets or running shorts.
Are these suitable for vegans?
While the ingredients are generally plant-based, always check the specific ingredient list on the packaging for any updates regarding manufacturing processes.
Troubleshooting
Gummies are stuck together in the bag
This is likely due to heat exposure; gently tap the bag against a firm surface to separate them or store in a cooler environment.
Difficulty opening the resealable bag during a race
Pre-open the bag before the race starts or transfer the desired portion to a soft-flask or smaller container for easier access.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these energy shots, simply tear open the resealable pouch and consume the desired number of shots. It is highly recommended to consume these with 100-200ml of water to ensure proper digestion and absorption of the glucose-fructose blend.
Regarding care, store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While the packaging is resealable, ensure the zipper is fully closed after use to prevent the chews from drying out or becoming sticky due to humidity. Always check the packaging for the expiration date before use to ensure the optimal texture of the liquid filling.
