Energy bars: the essential boost for runners
When you embark on a long run or participate in a marathon, your body is under intense pressure. With every kilometer you run, you burn calories, and maintaining a good energy level becomes crucial. Among the nutritional solutions favored by runners and athletes,energy bars stand out for their effectiveness. They allow you to recharge your batteries without having to interrupt your effort, which is essential for maintaining the pace and achieving your goals.
What is an energy bar?
It's important to distinguish betweenenergy bars and protein or cereal bars. While they may look similar, their composition and functions are different. Super-protein bars, which are high in protein, aren't ideal for prolonged exercise because they don't provide the energy you need to keep running. Similarly, cereal bars are better for snacking outside of physical activity because they lack the quality energy you need. True energy bars, on the other hand, are primarily made up of carbohydrates , providing the support you need to complete your run.
How to consume an energy bar?
We recommend consuming our energy bars during and after your intense workouts. During exercise, they help you tap into your energy reserves and maintain your performance. After exercise, they are essential for rapid recovery. It is recommended to ingest them in small pieces to homogenize nutritional intake and avoid any digestive discomfort.
Our bars are formulated with carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Each vitamin plays a specific role: for example, sodium compensates for sweat loss, while vitamins E and C provide antioxidant benefits.
Who are our energy bars for?
Our energy bars are suitable for all running, trail running, triathlon, and other enthusiasts, as long as their bodies are put to the test. However, it's crucial to note that they shouldn't replace energy drinks or gels , but rather complement them for optimal effectiveness.
