The formula uses a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio to support higher carbohydrate absorption and oxidation rates, helping provide a steady supply of usable energy during exercise. This dual-carb approach is especially useful for athletes who need reliable fuelling without overloading the gut.

Gel30 also includes added sodium electrolytes to support hydration and carbohydrate transport, while the lower osmolarity formula is designed to reduce the heavy, sticky feeling often associated with traditional gels. The texture has been developed to be smoother and less sticky, making it easier to take during hard efforts.

Free from caffeine and artificial ingredients, PILLAR Gel30 is a strong option for athletes who want clean, controlled energy during training or racing. It is also Informed Sport certified, with every batch tested for banned substances, giving athletes confidence when using it in competition.

PILLAR Gel30 uses a dual-carbohydrate system with glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio. This approach helps use multiple transport pathways in the gut, allowing the body to absorb and oxidise more carbohydrate during exercise compared with single-source carbohydrate fuelling. The aim is to provide a steady stream of energy while helping reduce the risk of stomach discomfort during harder efforts.

The formula also includes sodium, split between sodium chloride and sodium citrate, to support electrolyte intake and assist carbohydrate transport. Apple pectin helps create the gel texture and adds viscosity without increasing osmolarity in the same way that extra carbohydrate would. This supports smoother delivery, helps reduce excessive water draw into the gut, and gives the gel a less sticky feel when taken during training or racing.
