WHAT IS C2 MAX?

• Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy during exercise. However, it has been long believed that there is a limit to the rate at which the body can absorb carbs from ingested carbohydrates.

• But now, breakthrough research shows that consuming a specific ratio of glucose and fructose carbohydrates can increase the rate at which the body can absorb ingested carbohydrate energy by 20-55% versus glucose alone(1).

• Additional research has recently shown that consuming this specific carbohydrate blend improved the performance of trained endurance athletes by up to 8% (2).

• PowerBar C2 MAX optimized carbohydrate blend uses this advanced sports nutrition science and is featured in selected products: POWERBAR® Performance andPOWERBAR® Gel
