Multipower UK sent me some more products from their Endurance range to test a few weeks ago, amongst which was their brand new innovative Multicarbo Hi-energy jelly bar. Yes, a jelly bar!!!
The jelly bar is an alternative to the more traditional energy gel and provides the same energy boosting properties of the other products in the Multipower Endurance range. So what's it like? As a product, it really hits the spot, the orange flavour is subtle but in a good way, it's not overpowering like some other products on the market. The delivery of energy is fast and the amount of carbohydrate per pouch (28g) is definitely more than adequate for an instant boost.
The only slight downside is getting the jelly out of the pouch whilst riding, it's not that easy on the move, or at least it's not as easy as a traditional gel. It gets easier with practise, but it is a little fiddly to begin with.
Overall, it's a very good product, I particularly liked it as an alternative to a traditional gel and can definitely see it being a useful addition to your energy/nutrition plan during longer endurance events, like Ironman. Sometimes just taking gel upon gel is a little tiresome, so having a product that has a different consistency could work wonders. Check it out at www.multipoweruk.com
