The perfect energy bar for every effort
Energy bars, also known as sports bars, are a good source of energy for your training or competition. Take one before or after exercise to replenish your energy reserves, or use them to stack carbohydrates leading up to an important endurance race. Also during long efforts, such as a bike ride, these bars are a valuable addition to a sports drink to prevent hitting the wall. When the intensity increases or it becomes difficult to chew, such as during a run or soccer game, chews (and gels) offer a better alternative. Our Sports Series and Ultra Series offer the perfect solution for any challenge.
Fast absorption and variety
Energy bars are absorbed quickly, provided they meet certain conditions. This is why
6d Sports Bar,
6d Sports Cake,
6d Sports Nougat and
6d Sports Chew
each contain 30 g of carbohydrates (= 1 Sports Unit) in the well-known 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio. This composition, combined with low levels of protein, fat and fiber, ensures rapid absorption without gastrointestinal upset. Ideal for athletes who need immediately available energy.
Especially for ultra-endurance athletes, there is the 6d Ultra Chew, a delicious gummy bar with 45g of carbohydrates (= 1 Ultra Unit) in a 1:1 glucose-fructose ratio for maximum carbohydrate absorption without gastrointestinal issues. This chew makes it easy to achieve a carbohydrate intake of 90–120g per hour during efforts longer than 3 hours.
A bar for every situation
Besides good taste, energy bars should also be practical, regardless of weather conditions. Therefore, our bars & chews are tested in hot and cold weather. We offer a wide range with variation in taste and texture:
- 6d Sports Cake, a fluffy texture with a soft bite.
- 6d Sports Nougat, 6d Sports Bar and 6d Ultra Chew, a firm texture with a chewy bite.
- 6d Sports Chew, a soft texture with a chewy bite.
In our range you will find flavors with added sodium, which can be identified by 'salty'. Like our gels, these products contain 200 mg of sodium, ideal for athletes who sweat a lot or like a saltier taste.
What about caffeinated options?
For those looking for an extra physical or mental boost, we also have 1 flavor of each chew with 75 mg of caffeine. These chews are ideal to take before a shorter intense effort or during long endurance exercise as an extra boost leading up to a harder or competition-defining moment.
