The sports nutrition masters at PowerBar developed their C2MAX dual source energy blend to more efficiently deliver energy. This 2:1 glucose to fructose blend has been found to deliver 20–50% more energy to muscles than glucose alone and improve endurance performance by 8%. PowerBar Energy Blasts are gel filled chews are a great choice for use before or during moderate and high-intensity exercise. They're formulated with the C2MAX system and easy to manage during activity. Six Energy Blasts gel filled chews are the energy equivalent of one PowerBar Energy Gel packet, so you can dose as needed and have a little more substance in your system than gel alone can provide, yet won#39;t make you feel full or uncomfortable.

PowerBar does not use preservatives or artificial flavors, though some flavor options are designed to contain caffeine. Use recommendations during activities lasting more than 1 hour are consume 1–3 pieces every 10 minutes. You can also have a packet of Energy Blasts gel filled chews 30–60 minutes before exercise to top off energy stores. You get efficient energy sources to keep muscles fueled properly, which of course is required for endurance activities, but also serves to limit recovery time and intake.

Each box contains 12 pouches of Energy Blast chews. Each pouch contains 6 chews, which is a full serving size. Each 60g, 200 calorie serving contains: 46g of carbs, 3g protein, 30mg sodium. Some flavors contain 25mg of caffeine, or 1x in PowerBar parlance, while the 2x flavors have 50mg per serving. Always consume water or energy/electrolyte drink while eating your chews for best breakdown and uptake. Powerbar's Energy Blasts are a great way to stay fueled in a way that allows you to dose and eat as you feel comfortable. This is a perfect technique for runners or cyclists when tempo is consistent and conditions reasonably safe.
