Question about Powerbar PowerGel Original

Sports nutrition is not about health (at least not primarily), it's about maximizing energy intake. Using Maltodextrin/Glucose on one hand and fructose on the other you can utilize two different path of energy intake.

Here a bit more detailed explaination:
The key benefit comes from using different intestinal transport mechanisms:
- Glucose uses SGLT1 transporters, which can become saturated at around 60g/hour
- Fructose uses GLUT5 transporters, which can handle about 30g/hour
- By using both pathways simultaneously, you can absorb more total carbohydrates (up to ~90g/hour)

The typical optimal ratio is:
- 2:1 glucose:fructose ratio
- For example: 60g glucose + 30g fructose per hour
