Comments about PowerBar Refuel Gels, Chocolate, 24 ea:
I use these gels during my long runs, taking one gel every 5 miles. It usually kicks in after 2 miles and I could feel the energy for the next3 miles before taking the next gel. Good taste and easy to swallow, so works perfectly for training and races.

Comments about PowerBar Refuel Gels, Chocolate, 24 ea:
Consume 1-2 packets with water to meet the carbohydrate intake recommendations for endurance exercise of 30-60 grams/hour.
For serious training or competition, usage recommendations can be extended to 3 packets or 81 grams/hour. That's because studies show that muscles can be burn the carb blend in PowerBar Gel at up to 90 grams per hour.
