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 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 absorb ingested carbohydrate energy by 20-55% versus glucose alone(1). Additional research has recently shown that consuming this specific carbohydrate blend improved the performance of trained endurance athletes by up to 8% (2).
PowerBar C2 MAX optimized carbohydrate blend uses this advanced sports nutrition science and is featured in selected products: POWERBAR® Performance, POWERBAR® Energize, POWERBAR® Gel, POWERBAR® Gel Blasts and POWERBAR® Endurance sport drink. Science proves it. PowerBar with C2 MAX has it. PowerBar – pushing sports nutrition to a whole new level.
