Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy during exercise. However, it has been long believed that there is a limit to the rate at which the body can absorb carbs and utilize energy from ingested carbohydrates.
But now, breakthrough research shows that consuming a specific ratio of glucose and fructose carbohydrates can increase the rate at which the body can utilize ingested carbohydrate energy by 20-55% versus glucose alone(1). Additional research has recently shown that consuming this specific carbohydrate blend improved endurance performance by up to 8% in trained athletes(2).
Using this advanced sports nutrition science, POWERBAR® Performance and POWERBAR® Energize (to energize) and POWERBAR® Gel and POWERBAR® Endurance sport drink (to refuel) now feature the power of the new PowerBar C2 Max optimized carbohydrate blend – taking performance to a whole new level. Science proves it. PowerBar with C2 Max has it.
