| Q. What are the nutritional benefits of POWERBAR® Gel? |
(Posted: 25th July, 2007) |
A. * Carbohydrates. POWERBAR® Gel is formulated with a blend of simple and complex carbohydrates for quick and effective energy. Complex carbohydrates make up 80% of each POWERBAR® Gel, and simple carbohydrates make up the remaining 20%.
* Antioxidant Vitamins. Each package contains 15% DV antioxidant vitamins C & E to help combat free radicals produced during exercise.
* Electrolytes. POWERBAR® Gel also works great during intense exercise to help your body maintain hydration. Electrolytes are important in fluid regulation and neuromuscular functioning. When you sweat you lose water and electrolytes, so it's important in longer events to replace them. POWERBAR® Gel contains the electrolytes sodium potassium and chloride.
* Low or Non-Fat. With little to no fat, you're not dragged down.
* Caffeinated and Non-Caffeinated Flavors Choose between caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavors. Green Apple, Chocolate and Strawberry Banana deliver 25mg of caffeine (equivalent to 8 oz. of soda or 4 oz. of coffee) from the POWERBAR® Gel Booster Blend of caffeine, kola nut extract and ginseng. Double Latte and Tangerine are double-caffeinated to deliver 50mg caffeine (equal to about one half cup of coffee) for the times you need double the boost. Raspberry Cream, Vanilla and Plain Energy have no added caffeine. |
