Hi,
You know Pillar for its Triple Magnesium. One of the most repurchased supplements we carry, because it changed how athletes recover while they sleep.
So when they sent over their first-ever gel, we were curious whether Pillar could pull off in fuel what they've pulled off in supplements.
They did. We love the new Gel 30 for two reasons: the texture and the ratio.
Pillar Performance Gel 30
Start with the ratio, since that's what surprised us. Each gel delivers 30g of carbs in a 0.8:1 glucose-to-fructose split. Your gut absorbs those two sugars through two different doors - separate transporters that don't compete.
Some gels lean almost entirely on the glucose door, so once it's saturated, the rest just sits in your stomach. That's the sloshing and the discomfort you get.
Then the texture - thicker than Amacx, not as thick as GU, and low enough on the stickiness that it goes down clean when you're breathing hard.
Three flavors. Original has almost no lingering sweetness, built to take two an hour without palate fatigue. Citrus is a clean reset. Wild Berry was the clear favorite.
30g of carbs. Sodium already in the mix. No caffeine. Clean label, no artificial colors or flavors.

Pillar Performance Electrolyte Hydration
They launched a hydration mix alongside it, and the profile is worth noting: 400mg sodium, 190mg potassium, and 80mg magnesium per serving.
Two flavors. Citrus is light and easy to sip. Passionfruit has more flavor without tipping into being too sweet.
