In Crown Sport Nutrition we have thought of all those athletes who need a higher carbohydrate intake during sports practice, that is why we have developed the Hyper line of products. With them you can easily reach intakes of more than 60 g/hour of carbohydrates.

Within this line we have HyperBar 45, which is the adaptation to gummy format of our HyperGel 45. Therefore, it is a double bar of 60 g (2x30 g per package) of the highest quality and with an ideal composition of carbohydrates, caffeine and sodium, nutrients necessary to improve the performance of both training and long duration competitions. In this double bar you will have 45 g of carbohydrates (actually 46.1 g), 80 mg of caffeine and an extra contribution of sodium (approx. 165 mg).

HyperBar 45 contains the ideal blend, according to science, of carbohydrates, Glucose and Fructose, in ratio 1.25:1 (commonly known as 1:0.8), in this case we achieve this by using 3 ingredients, sucrose (as a source of glucose and fructose) and directly glucose syrups on one side and fructose syrups on the other. It has been shown that in prolonged exercise the use of carbohydrates that are absorbed in the intestine by different transporters (known as SLGT-1 and GLUT) is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g/hour (Currell, K. et al., MSSE. 2008; Earnest, C.P. et al., JSCR. 2004). To this end, research indicates that the ideal is to combine sources that provide glucose and others that provide fructose.

Why combine them in a 1.25:1 ratio (1:0.8) and not in the classic 2:1 or other ratio?
Because the latest research has shown that with this ratio we achieve maximal oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates, that is, our body obtains maximal energy efficiency from the carbohydrates consumed (74% efficiency) (Rowlands, D.S. et al., SM. 2.015).

By way of summary and as a conclusion on the carbohydrates used, in the context of products with a high concentration of carbohydrates to be taken during exercise, the most important thing is that the energy efficiency of the exogenous carbohydrates consumed is maximum and minimize gastrointestinal problems as much as possible and, according to science, to date, this is only achieved by combining these sources of carbohydrates that provide Glucose and Fructose, and in the proportions of 1.25:1 (more commonly known as 1:0.8) (Rowlands, D.S. et al, SM. 2.022).

Only in the caffeinated variant: we have added caffeine, the most effective ingredient for the direct improvement of performance, both endurance and strength (Grgic, J. et al., BJSM. 2.019). In addition to activating the Central Nervous System (CNS), it delays fatigue and optimizes the use of cellular fuels (glycogen and fat). But the most important thing is that it improves muscular contraction (Lopes, J.M. et al., JAP. 1983), hence its efficacy especially when fatigue begins.

To complete the formula we have added Sodium (Na), sodium chloride in the form of Marine salt, as a contribution of the mineral Sodium (Na). Sodium is the most important electrolyte during sports practice, because it is the one we lose the most with sweat and it is essential to maintain hydration during physical activity (NDA Panel. EFSA Journal. 2011).

Why should we consume high amounts of carbohydrates during sports practice?
Because, the latest 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).

Gummy Bear Texture!
For those who want to change textures between gels and drinks, we offer the option of the solid bar format, but in the form of a gummy. The difference with other types of bars (oatmeal, date, etc.) is that this one if you do not want to chew it, you can leave a small piece in one side of your mouth and wait for it to gradually melt, which does not happen with other bars, which you have to chew them to swallow them.

Neutral flavor! No flavorings, no sweeteners, no colorings, no preservatives.
To minimize the gastrointestinal problems that may occur, we have developed a product of high purity, so it has no flavor, only at the organoleptic level has a slight sweet touch provided by the ingredients themselves, sucrose, glucose and fructose, nothing more. It contains no flavorings, sweeteners, colorings or preservatives.
