POWERBAR® PERFORMANCE

Before beginning any training session or competition, athletes need to be fully energized and hydrated. When both those needs are met, muscles are ready to work. About an hour before exercise, fuel up with a POWERBAR® PERFORMANCE bar, containing the POWERBAR® C2 MAX-optimized carbohydrate blend, formulated with the same ratio of carb sources shown to increase endurance performance by an average of 8% in 8 trained athletes compared to glucose alone*. The bars are also an effective option on those days when training starts very early in the morning and eating a pre-workout meal just isn’t realistic.

  • POWERBAR C2 MAX dual-source energy blend.
  • More sustained energy to muscles.
  • The original energy bar.
  • Low in fat, packing 41–45g of carbs and 8–10g of protein with 230–250 calories per bar.

FAQs

Why do POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars freeze?

Because this optimal formulation is low in fat and has a water-base, you may find that POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars do tend to freeze in colder weather. Keep your POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar close to your body or warm it prior to eating to retain its soft texture.

STORAGE TIPS

How long will my POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars last?

Each POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar is stamped with a “best by” date. Although it is safe to eat POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars after this date, we recommend that you use POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars by the “best by” date to ensure you're getting the full nutritional benefits of the product.

Do POWERBAR products contain Genetically Modified Ingredients?

POWERBAR uses ingredients that meet our high quality standards and are in full compliance with U.S. government regulations. Genetically modified (GM) crops grown in the US have been reviewed extensively by the FDA, USDA and EPA, who have determined that GM crops are as safe as their conventional counterparts. Because the use of GM crops does not affect the safety or quality of the ingredients made from them, we do not require that our suppliers specify the origin of the crops they use.

Are there any Trans Fatty Acids in POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars?

POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars do not contain any trans fats. Trans fatty acids are substances that, depending on intake and total dietary patterns, can raise total blood cholesterol levels, and can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol.

Can children eat POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars?

POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars make a nutritious addition to a child's balanced diet. Young children, aged 4–6, should be limited to ½ to 1 bar per day, while a whole bar is appropriate for children 6 or older. Consult your pediatrician for additional information.

Can I eat a POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar during my pregnancy?

Yes. POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars provide essential nutrients like protein, iron, B vitamins and vitamin C that your body needs during pregnancy. Consult your obstetrician for additional information.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS

Is POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar approved for diabetics or hypoglycemics?

POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars have been used successfully by many diabetics. However, it is important for anyone with diabetes or hypoglycemia to consult a physician before using POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars.

Are all POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar flavors created equal?

All POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar flavors have essentially the same ingredients and nutritional content for the U.S. market. Internationally, our products vary slightly to conform to specific country regulations.

NUTRITION

How do POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars provide energy?

Approximately 75% of the energy in a POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar comes from carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates (40–45% of total carbohydrates) are in the form of glucose and fructose derived from corn, grapes and pears. Complex carbohydrates (50–55% of total carbohydrates), in the form of maltodextrin, brown rice, and oat bran, offer a longer lasting source of energy. And approximately 15–17% of the calories in POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars come from a high quality source of protein that aids muscle growth and recovery.

When should I use POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bars?

For best results, eat a POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar 30–45 minutes before activity along with 8–16 ounces of water or other fluids. This will help you absorb nutrients and maintain hydration. For events that last more than one hour, eat one POWERBAR PERFORMANCE bar for each hour of activity.
