Energy Gum Bar

WHY CROWN SPORT NUTRITION? (41 SEC)?

Gummy energy bar with electrolytes and amino acids. With and without caffeine.

Energy GUM Bar is a gummy bar of the highest quality with a premium composition that provides all the necessary ingredients to improve performance in your workouts and competitions. It is the adaptation of our Energy Gel to the gummy bar format, 30 g of magnificent texture of easy chewing that will not be difficult to swallow, thus avoiding gastrointestinal problems.

It contains two sources of carbohydrates, Dextrose (in the form of glucose syrup) and Sucrose, which however provide me with 3 types of carbohydrates, since Sucrose is a source of Glucose and Fructose. These are necessary because it has been shown that carbohydrate intake during sports improves performance (Cermak, N.M. et al., SM. 2.013; Pochmuller, M. et al., JISSN. 2.016). In addition, recent research has shown that a high carbohydrate intake during sports practice, especially of long duration (> 2.5 h), improves neuromuscular function (Urdampilleta, A et al. Nutrients. 2020) and also improves post-training recovery both in terms of muscle damage and energy because it shortens glycogen resynthesis times (Viribay, A. et al. Nutrients. 2020).

But in addition to the combination of carbohydrates, our extraordinary formula has more added values since we have also incorporated them:

• Minerals: Better known as electrolytes or salts, especially sodium (Na), which is the one we lose most through sweat and is essential for maintaining hydration during physical activity (each bar provides approx. 112 mg, except the Salty Peanut version which provides 300 mg) (NDA Panel. EFSA Journal. 2011). They also provide potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg), the loss of which could be implicated in the onset of muscle cramps, and have been added in the form of highly bioavailable salts, such as magnesium citrate.
• Branched chain amino acids (BCAA): It has been shown that the intake of these amino acids together with carbohydrates during training decreases the markers of muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., IJSNEM. 2.008). Also branched amino acids are highly oxidized by the muscle, that is, they are used as a source of energy decreasing the utilization of glycogen in favor of fats. In addition, the intake of these amino acids during exercise reduces the Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), that is, it reduces the production of Serotonin (neurotransmitter related to the symptoms of tiredness and mood) (Kerksick, C.M. et al., JISSN. 2008).
• Arginine: This amino acid, besides being a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO), reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity. In addition, being a glucogenic amino acid, the muscle can use it as a source of extra energy.
• Taurine: Among others, it has antioxidant, metabolic and ergogenic effects (Galloway, S.D.R. et al., JAP. 2008). Its intake together with the other ingredients has been shown to improve muscular endurance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R. et al. JCSR. 2008). It stabilizes cell membranes, helping to pass through them potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium (Bouckenooghe, T. et al., CNMC. 2006).
