Endurance Energy

Voom Nutrition Endurance Energy: Pow® Plant Oat Energy Bar with Nitrates, Honey & Coconut Oil. 

Features:
Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates to support oxygen flow to muscles with a NO boost.
Coconut MCT’s provide readily available energy - boost glycogen stores.
Oats provide steady carbohydrates.
Honey offers both short and medium chain sugars.
That’s why we call them Pow® Plants, they are mini reactors!
Packed with dietary nitrates from Organic Beetroot Extract which have been shown to improve blood flow to the working muscles.
Beetroot has become a super sports food in recent years

The Pow® Plants bar provide naturally occurring dietary nitrate in a tasty, easy to eat form. In addition to the nitrate, the bar provides 200 Kcals, with 25 grams of carbohydrate in the form of rapidly delivered energy from honey and apple juice, slowly delivered energy from oats and further energy in the form of super healthy medium chain triglyceride’s in coconut oil.

The bar keeps energy levels constant and provides the improved blood flow associated with beetroot.

There is growing evidence that the naturally occurring dietary nitrate in beetroot has beneficial effects on sports performance. Dietary nitrate interacts with saliva in the mouth to create blood nitrate, which makes the chewing of the bar very effective at activating the nitrate conversion.

Once in the form of blood nitrate this is subsequently converted to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals blood vessels to dilate, or widen, allowing an increased blood flow and thus an improved delivery of oxygen and vital nutrients to the working muscles.

Nitric oxide also thins the blood which helps to improve circulation which promotes an improved rate of recovery. Together with the vaso-dilation, thinner blood also helps lower blood pressure.

The medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil have a multitude of health benefits, but for endurance sports their main attraction is their readily available energy which spares the limited stores of glycogen in the body.)

We have selected a variety of carbohydrates to provide a staggered release of energy over time. Oats provide a slow release, long duration supply of energy. The bar provides 200kcal, with 25 grams of carbohydrate in the form of rapidly delivered energy from honey and apple juice providing an immediate boost, slowly delivered energy from gluten free oats and further energy in the form of medium chain triglyceride’s in coconut oil.
Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest and most versatile oils available. Coconut Oil contains healthy medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), is naturally saturated and free from trans-fatty acids. 

(Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest and most versatile oils available. Coconut Oil contains healthy medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), is naturally saturated and free from trans-fatty acids. Although saturated fat generally has a bad image, the MCTs in coconut oil are good fats which are transported directly from the intestines to the liver.

In the liver, the MCTs provide a rapidly available energy source, which is helpful to sports people looking to maximise energy availability, or are converted to ketone bodies which help to reduce appetite.

The MCTs in Coconut Oil have also been shown to increase energy expenditure, with 15-30 grams of MCTs/day been shown to increase energy expenditure by 5% over the day. Therefore, MCTs are effective for weight management.

Coconut Oil contains high levels of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have multiple health benefits. Specifically, they are antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-fungal and antibacterial and thus help to kill harmful pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Additionally, lauric acid reduces Total and LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, which may help to reduce risk of heart disease.)

Directions: Eat one bar 1-3 hours before exercise, for energy and a nitrate boost.
