C2MAX Works
Athletes and exercise enthusiasts need to eat adequate as of
carbohydrates on a daily basis in order to load up on muscle fuel
stores of glycogen before and after exercise. You also need carbs
during exercise in order to delay the onset of igue. PowerBar
Performance Energy Bars provide maximum energy delivery with
PowerBar C2MAX dual-source energy blend.
Transportable carbohydrates--the combination of glucose and
fructose found in C2MAX--have been research supported to
outperform glucose alone.
Through an ever-growing list of published studies, researchers
have made a compelling case for transportable carbohydrates as
the fuel of choice during endurance exercise. Benefits in
comparison to glucose alone include increased delivery of
carbohydrate fuel to working muscles; enhanced emptying of fluids
from the gut and improved delivery of fluids to the bloodstream;
better reliance on ingested carbs as fuel in difficult,
high-temperature conditions; and increased endurance performance.
This groundbreaking research on transportable carbohydrates is
the basis for the muscle-fueling innovation known as PowerBar
C2MAX dual-source energy blend. Seeing the incredible performance
potential in this cutting-edge research, and, in fact,
collaborating with the researchers pioneering this scientific
work, PowerBar scientists have incorporated the
research-supported 2:1 ratio of glucose and fructose into
PowerBar sports tion product intended to fuel and hydrate
athletes during higher intensity exercise.
