PILLAR Performance Energy Gel 30 – Dual-Carb Fuel for Endurance

30g Carbs. Dual-Fuel Formula. Built to Go Long.

The PILLAR Performance Energy Gel 30 is a performance carbohydrate gel engineered for endurance training, racing and competition, delivering 30g of carbohydrate per gel in an advanced 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio.

Designed to help athletes take in carbohydrate efficiently while minimising gastrointestinal discomfort, the dual-carbohydrate formula uses both glucose and fructose sources rather than relying on a single carbohydrate pathway. PILLAR also adds sodium and electrolytes to support fuelling during prolonged exercise.

For trail runners, ultra runners, marathoners and other endurance athletes, the simple 30g carbohydrate serving also makes race-day maths easy. Two gels equal 60g of carbohydrate; three equal 90g—making it straightforward to incorporate into a structured hourly fuelling strategy.

Made in Germany and developed in PILLAR's endurance lab, Energy Gel 30 combines sports nutrition science with a smoother, pectin-based texture designed to reduce stickiness and improve the experience of fuelling on the move.

30g of Carbohydrate Per Gel

Each PILLAR Energy Gel 30 provides:

30g CARBOHYDRATE

For endurance athletes, having a clearly defined amount of carbohydrate in every gel makes planning your nutrition significantly easier.

Whether you're building towards 60g, 90g or another individual carbohydrate target per hour, the 30g format makes it easy to calculate how much fuel you're consuming throughout your event.

It's particularly useful for:

• Trail running
• Ultramarathons
• Marathon running
• Long-distance road running
• Cycling
• Triathlon
• Adventure racing
• Long training sessions
• Endurance competition

1:0.8 Glucose-to-Fructose Dual-Carb Formula

It's not just the amount of carbohydrate that makes Gel 30 interesting—it's how that carbohydrate is delivered.

PILLAR uses a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, allowing the formula to utilise different carbohydrate absorption pathways in the gut. The goal is to support high carbohydrate absorption while reducing the likelihood of excess carbohydrate sitting in the gut and contributing to gastrointestinal discomfort.

This becomes increasingly important when athletes are attempting to consume larger quantities of carbohydrate during long-duration exercise.

For ultra runners and endurance athletes looking to build a higher-carbohydrate fuelling strategy, the dual-source formulation makes Gel 30 particularly relevant.

Pectin-Based Texture – Less Sticky, Easier to Fuel

Anyone who has run an ultra knows the problem.

After hours of gels, sweet drinks and sports nutrition, texture matters.

PILLAR uses a pectin-based formulation designed to create a smoother, less sticky gel while supporting gut comfort.

That means less of the thick, syrupy consistency that can make some traditional energy gels difficult to consume—particularly late in a long event.

Tear it open, squeeze, drink some water and keep moving.

Added Sodium & Electrolytes

Energy isn't the only consideration during prolonged exercise.

PILLAR Energy Gel 30 also contains added sodium and electrolytes, helping complement your broader hydration and fuelling strategy during longer training sessions and races.

The gel isn't necessarily intended to replace a complete hydration strategy—particularly in hot Australian conditions—but the added electrolytes make sense when you're consuming fuel during prolonged activity.

Pair your gels with an appropriate hydration and electrolyte plan based on your individual needs, conditions and sweat rate.

Zero Caffeine – Control Your Own Strategy

Every flavour of PILLAR Energy Gel 30 is caffeine-free.

That can be a major advantage during longer events.

Rather than having caffeine built into every gel, you can use Energy Gel 30 as your consistent carbohydrate base and introduce caffeine separately when—and if—it suits your race strategy.

This is particularly useful for ultra-distance events where fuelling may continue for many hours.

Made for Long Training & Racing

PILLAR developed Energy Gel 30 for both everyday and elite athletes, with the product suitable for endurance and team sports.

For the Tribe&Trail community, we see its sweet spot across:

TRAIL RUNNING → ULTRAS → MARATHONS → CYCLING → TRIATHLON → ADVENTURE

It's compact, easy to carry in a running vest or belt, and the 30g carbohydrate serving makes it straightforward to keep track of your intake when fatigue sets in.

How to Use PILLAR Energy Gel 30

PILLAR recommends:

Take one gel approximately every 30 minutes during exercise.

Follow with water to support absorption and gut comfort. The manufacturer lists a maximum daily intake of 10 servings.

Your ideal carbohydrate intake will depend on your body, exercise intensity, duration and the other food and drinks you're consuming.

Always practise your nutrition strategy during training before relying on it during an important race or ultra.
