Scientific studies have shown that eating carbohydrates before exercise actually improves performance. Thanks to a special blend of carbohydrates, PowerBar Performance Bar provides a steady energy supply during prolonged continuous exercise.

Simple carbohydrates (40–45% of total carbohydrates) are in the form of glucose and fructose derived from corn, grapes and pears. These provide fast release energy. Complex carbohydrates (50-55%) in the form of maltodextrin, brown rice, and oat bran, offer a longer lasting source of energy.

OPTIMUM NUTRITION

A unique mix of ingredients engineered specifically for the nutritional demands of endurance athletes:

  • Rich in complex carbohydrates to supply long-lasting energy
  • Moderate protein to repair and protect muscles:
    High-quality milk protein providing all of the essential amino acids required by the human body. Amino acids aid in repair, growth, and development of muscle
  • Low in fat for ease of digestion (only 8-13% of total calories)
  • All vitamins and minerals vital for energy metabolism, including 100% daily values of the antioxidant vitamins C and E, eight B-complex vitamins, and 30-35% daily value of essential minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium and chromium
  • Caffeine (in some flavours): Caffeine can help increase mental alertness

PowerBar Performance Bar is best used prior to competition or exercise to help sustain energy; or after a work-out to aid recovery and fuel depleted glycogen stores. It comes in several different flavours.
