Powerbar Powerbar Fuel 90 Sports Drink
Powerbar Fuel 90 is a high-carbohydrate sports drink mix — a powder you make up in a bottle, not a bar. The '90' is the carbohydrate load: around 90g per serving in a glucose-to-fructose blend with added sodium, intended as a sole fuel source for long, intense efforts. Informed Sport certified, so every batch is screened against the banned-substances list.

Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Fuel 90 a bar or a drink?
- It is a sports drink mix — a powder you dissolve in water in a bottle. It is not an energy bar, despite some older listings describing it that way.
- What does the '90' mean?
- It is the carbohydrate content: around 90g of carbohydrate per serving, in a glucose-to-fructose ratio, designed to act as a sole fuel source for long or intense sessions.
- Why a glucose-to-fructose blend?
- Combining two carbohydrate types absorbed by different gut pathways lets the body take on more carbohydrate per hour than glucose alone — important when fuelling at 90g per serving.
- Is it certified for tested sport?
- Yes. It carries Informed Sport certification, so every batch is independently screened against the WADA banned-substances list.
