Energy bars made from natural ingredients
Energy bars provide carbohydrate supplementation for use before, during or after training and competition. The bars are available in different flavors, whether with a delicious fruit flavor or a classic chocolate flavor. They have a soft consistency that makes them easier to chew and are a great alternative to gels if you want to eat something solid during your activity. Energy bars are most commonly used pre-workout to increase intake before an activity or during low-intensity periods. For example, cyclists consume them at the start of a race when the intensity is lower because they take longer to digest compared to energy gels or isotonics.

Why do we need energy bars?
Energy bars are very popular not only among athletes, but also among the general population. People who have problems taking energy gels due to personal preferences (taste, consistency) prefer energy bars. Energy bars are also very popular with professional cyclists, runners, triathletes and other endurance athletes. They contain a large amount of energy-rich carbohydrates and ensure a feeling of satiety. Most elite athletes use energy bars during low-intensity training or at the start of a race.
During physical activity, we absolutely need carbohydrates as a source of energy because our body's carbohydrate reserves are limited. The body has its own carbohydrate reserves in the form of muscle and liver glycogen. However, glycogen stores are not unlimited. The glycogen stores are sufficient for 90 to 120 minutes of medium to high intensity training. Exhaustion leads to loss of performance and endurance, premature muscle fatigue or exhaustion, and muscle cramps.
Regular carbohydrate intake during training or competition is crucial for maintaining performance. Glycogen stores cannot be replenished during activity, but it is important not to deplete them or we will lack energy when we need it most. Energy bars give you quick and efficient energy whenever you need it. The use of advanced carbohydrate matrices (maltodextrin/glucose and fructose) allows a high absorption of carbohydrates.
What do the highest quality energy bars contain?
The highest quality energy bars contain the highest quality and carefully selected ingredients. In most cases, it is a combination of different carbohydrate sources that are digested extremely quickly and do not cause stomach or digestive problems. Most often they contain a mixture of glucose and fructose in a 2:1 ratio from gluten-free oatmeal, fruit and rice.
High-quality energy bars also carry the Informed Sport label, which ensures that each batch of products is tested and free of banned substances. This is especially important for professional athletes. High-quality energy bars also contain no artificial additives - colors, sweeteners and flavors that could cause stomach or digestive problems.
