Energy Bar (50g) - Coconut

Besides the appropriate sports drink, energy bars and gels are often essential for a quick and easily digestible supply of energy during (endurance) exercise. Bars high in protein, fat and fiber slow gastric emptying and therefore the rate of absorption of the desired energy source (carbohydrates). In addition, these bars are often the cause of a feeling of satiety and gastrointestinal disorders.

6D ENERGY BAR is low in protein and fiber and moderate in fat; it is therefore a bar rich in carbohydrates and easy to digest. Thanks to its soft texture, this compact energy source is very easy to chew, even in cold weather. This makes the 6D ENERGY BAR an excellent option to use just before exercise, and/or to alternate with other energy bars and gels during exercise. One bar contains 31g of carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio of glucose to fructose. Thanks to this 2:1 ratio, the body can absorb up to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour. Unlike most other "energy bars", the 6D ENERGY BAR also contains 100 mg of sodium. Adding sodium helps to quickly replenish salt stores in the body. This is particularly important for athletes who not only sweat a lot, but also sweat a lot of salts ("salty sweats"), and especially when exercising in a hot environment which leads to significant sweat losses.

In summary, the 6D ENERGY BAR is ideal for all athletes who need quickly available energy just before and/or during exercise, whether in cold or hot climatic conditions.

How to use : 

Take 1-2 bars per hour of exercise, depending on duration and intensity of exercise and combination with other energy bars, gels or drinks. However, consideration should be given to the need for simultaneous hydration, salt supplementation and prevention of gastric/intestinal upset. In addition, personal preferences (eg solid or liquid energy, taste preferences) are also important. It is therefore necessary to have an integrated view of the use of sports drinks, gels and energy bars before, during and after exercise.

Due to its high concentration of carbohydrates (sugars) and sodium, it is recommended to always use the 6d energy bar in combination with water. This is to ensure proper absorption and to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal upset during exercise.
