According to the product specialist
Pros
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. |
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. |
2:1 glucose to fructose ratio enables a maximum carbohydrate absorption of 90g/hr. |
Added sodium improves moisture regulation and makes you feel thirsty to stimulate hydrating during exercise. |
Added magnesium supports normal muscle function. |
Cons
-
The large size makes the energy bar harder to consume at a high heart rate. |
Contains palm fat. |
