Before beginning any training session or competition, athletes need to be fully energized and hydrated. When both those needs are met, muscles are ready to work. About an hour before exercise, energize with a POWERBAR® SPORT bar. It contains the POWERBAR® C2 MAX-optimized glucose/fructose blend, which is formulated with the same ratio of carb sources shown to increase endurance performance by an average of 8% in trained athletes compared to glucose alone*. The bars are also an effective option on those days when training starts very early in the morning and eating a pre-workout meal just isn’t realistic.

STORAGE TIPS
How long will my POWERBAR® Sport bars last?

Are there any Trans Fatty Acids in POWERBAR® Sport bars?

POWERBAR® Sport bars do not contain trans fat. Trans fat is derived from a chemical process known as “partial hydrogenation”, in which liquid oils are converted into a semi-solid form.

Canadians should reduce their intake of saturated and trans fats.
