Answers for Ironman PERFORM™

Ironman PERFORM™ is the new sports drink developed by the Sports Nutrition Experts at PowerBar. Some instances of staining plastic water bottles have been reported. I just wanted to reach out to everyone and let them know what the scoop is.  The ingredient beta carotene, a natural form of Vitamin A found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin has been linked to this staining; very much like pure carrot juice can stain plastic containers. Since beta carotene is in the fat soluble vitamin category, you may have success removing the stain with a small amount of vegetable oil on paper towel or cotton ball, and rub this over the stained plastic. This will remove that orange color from the plastic. Then, you must wash the plastic with soap and water to remove the oil used to remove the stain. If you have any furthers questions or concerns please call our consumer services line, 1-800-58-POWER (M-F 8-8 ET).

How do we purchase Perform in bulk to prepare for Kona?

We have Ironman Perform available online at www.powerbarstore.com, for any quantity, or you can go visit any sport retailer (bike, run, tri shop, etc.) and they can place a special order to PowerBar for as much as you would like. Good luck at Kona!
