With 109 kilocalories and 27 grams of carbohydrates, the "Hydro" provides just as much energy as the other gels from Powerbar. As with these, an optimised mixture of glucose and fructose is the driving force. However, the consistency of the Powergel Hydro is less like a gel and more like a thicker drink. A high sodium content of 310 milligrams per sachet stabilises the fluid balance during exercise. The pouch is designed so that you can drink from it several times and close it again and again without it leaking. The Hydro is available in cherry (with an additional 50 milligrams of caffeine) and orange flavours, with only fruit extracts providing the flavour.
