Sometimes you just have to say it clearly: we have the king of nougat bars. Not a mini bar that delivers just a little too little, packed with useless ingredients. Not a half solution that forces you to take two. But 40 grams of carbohydrates in one soft, easy-to-eat 41 gram bar. The Natusport Nougat Sport Bar, the king of bars!
During long and intensive efforts, everything revolves around energy management. You can be as well trained as you like, but without a well-thought-out carbohydrate strategy, sooner or later you will run empty. In our earlier blogs about carbohydrates during exercise, we already explained how important it is to plan your intake per hour (Carbohydrates blog). The new Nougat Sport Bar fits seamlessly into that strategy and takes practical convenience to the next level.
40 grams of carbohydrates: less calculating, more performing
Many endurance athletes aim for an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour during intensive efforts lasting longer than 60 minutes. That means planning, combining and thinking ahead. With 40 grams of carbohydrates per 41 gram bar, this process becomes simple. This bar contains no unnecessary fats or fibres.
One bar already provides a solid foundation within your hourly intake. Combine it with isotonic sports drink or a gel and you are immediately in the right zone. Fewer packages, less hassle and less chance of taking in too little.
This is not an in-between snack. This is fuel.
Honestly, the bar tastes incredibly good. But this is not just a simple snack. The carbohydrates in the Nougat Sport Bar are composed in a 2:1 ratio of glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose are absorbed through different transport systems in the intestine: glucose via SGLT1 and fructose via GLUT5. By combining both, they can be absorbed at the same time. This makes the bar quickly absorbable and allows it to deliver energy directly. That makes it ideal to take during exercise.
Soft nougat texture, especially during exercise
Big does not mean hard or chewy for us. Quite the opposite. The Nougat Sport Bar has a soft, flexible nougat texture that remains easy to eat, even at high intensity or in lower temperatures.
Anyone who has ever tried to chew down a dry bar during a cold winter ride or at marathon pace knows how important this is. A bar should help you, not work against you. The soft texture means you can eat it relatively quickly without needing much water and without losing your rhythm.
Speculaas-Cinnamon: warm, spicy and full of character
The Speculaas-Cinnamon flavour gives this bar a distinctive character. The mix of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg creates a warm, spiced taste that feels less monotonously sweet than many traditional sports bars.
During cold conditions or long winter training sessions, that is not a minor detail. A warm flavour experience can provide that extra mental push. Taste variation also helps prevent flavour fatigue, a common issue during long efforts.
In addition to this flavour, the Nougat Sport Bar is also available in Lemon: fresh, easy to digest and ideal when you need something refreshing between gels and sports drinks.
For athletes who take their energy seriously
The Nougat Sport Bar was developed for cyclists, runners, triathletes and other endurance athletes who look beyond “just eating something on the go”. This is a delicious bar for athletes who plan their carbohydrate intake, train structurally with nutrition and understand that performance does not only come from the legs, but also from what you take in along the way.
Use it shortly before the start as your final carbohydrate moment, or during exercise as a fixed foundation within your carbohydrate strategy. In combination with sports drinks and gels, you can easily build towards the amounts that match your effort and training level.
