The Natusport Chew Energy Bar is developed for athletes who want a fast and practical way to replenish energy during training and competition. Each 50 g bar provides 40 g of carbohydrates from a balanced blend of fast and more gradually released carbohydrate sources, including isomaltulose (Palatinose™). This carbohydrate is digested and absorbed more slowly than sucrose, resulting in a lower rise in blood glucose levels.
For the renewed Chew Energy Bar, we have further optimized the formula. While the bar was previously based solely on agar-agar, it now combines agar-agar and pectin. This creates a softer, less grainy texture and a more pleasant mouthfeel, while maintaining the qualities athletes appreciate.
Agar-agar is a natural gelling agent derived from red seaweed. It is known for its firm structure and high heat resistance. Pectin is a plant-based fibre naturally found in fruit and helps create a smoother texture. By combining both ingredients, we have developed a chew that remains firm enough for use on the go while being easier and more enjoyable to eat during exercise.
The Chew Energy Bar is made with real strawberry for a fresh taste and is completely plant-based and vegan. Its heat-resistant structure makes it easy to carry and use, even in warmer conditions, making it an ideal choice for long training sessions, races, or outdoor adventures.
