Seattle ACSM meeting recap

Thanks to all who stopped by the PowerBar Booth in Seattle during the ACSM conference! We had a great response to our new products, and the Sports Specific Playbooks were a big hit as well. I also want to thank my friends at SCAN who very graciously offered to pass out our Indianapolos Sports Nutrition Conference DVD's and Program Books at their booth.

I was able to sneak out of the booth to attend some very informative sessions as well. The PINES Pre-Conference in Sports Nutrition was excellent, and kudos to all who participated. They utilized a very interactive format which was very engaging and informative. Nanna Meyer did an outstanding job of organizing this event for over 200 people. Visit www.sportsoracle.com  for updates and information on this organization.

Two studies were of particular interest to me. Research was presented which showed similar peak oxidation rates from Gels and Bars compared to Sports Drinks used in earlier studies. This leading-edge science has been utilized to develop many of our products at PowerBar. We have incorporated the same carbohydrate ratio used in these studies to offer products that are designed to produce a higher oxidation rate above glucose alone, leading to many benefits for athletes including increased athletic performance.

Please stop by and visit the SCAN booth at NATA this month. They will be passing out  PowerBar ProteinPlus 30 gram bars, and  raffling off many great prizes including copies of the new book "Energy to Burn, the Ultimate Food and Nutrition Guide to Fuel your Active Lifestyle" by Jenna Bell-Wilson and Julie Upton.
