Ingredient science
Cross-referenced with PubMed & Examine.com
A mix of starch and sugars for energy during longer sessions; solid food digests more slowly than gels or drinks, so it suits steadier efforts.
A meaningful dose of sodium to help replace sweat losses in long or hot sessions — higher than most bars.
Other electrolytes lost in sweat; losses are much smaller than sodium's, so modest amounts are enough.
A prebiotic fiber that feeds gut bacteria; in larger amounts it can cause bloating, so try it in training before race day.
