According to the product specialist
Pros
Mix of carbs, electrolytes, and proteins; suited for use before, during, and after exercise. |
With 25.5 grams of carbohydrates per bar, the Ride Energy Bar is on par with other energy bars. |
With 10.7 grams of protein per bar, the Ride Energy Bar contains the ideal amount of protein for post-exercise recovery. |
Added magnesium contributes to normal muscle function. |
Due to the large size (55 grams) one Maxim Energy Bar delivers approximately 35 grams of carbohydrates. It's a great source of energy! |
The low protein content contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass without affecting the energy intake. |
The Maxim Energy Bar contains minerals which support the fluid intake and balance. |
With its mix of simple and complex carbohydrates, the Xtra Bar provides Xtra energy. |
Also ideal for consumption prior to an event to maximise your carbohydrate store. |
Cons
High level of protein and fats results in slower absorption by the body. |
The large size makes the energy bar harder to consume at a high heart rate. |
