	MuleBars Nutrient rich, 100% natural energy bars providing a mix of high GI sugars from organic brown rice syrup, medium and low GI for sustained energy, protein for muscle support and essential fats. When... 1 bar 30-60 minutes before event or training AND 1-2 bars/hour during. Why... Carbohydrate before and during exercise increases energy availability and supports your immune system, with protein preserving lean muscle. Fact... A mix of sugars like the glucose and fructose found in MuleBar ensures increased energy absorption and improved endurance. Added to this, the mix of High, Medium and Low GI ingredients provides gradual energy release. Tip... Tapering your training or trying carbohydrate loading? Try using a MuleBar as your mid morning and mid afternoon snack in the 36-48 hrs before your event. The idea is to super saturate your muscles energy stores and improve your endurance!		Kicks Gel Immediate energy, fast recovery. 100% natural, tasty, organic, vegan energy gels made using high GI organic brown rice syrup for immediate energy. Contains medium GI fructose from organic agave nectar and natural fruit juices for steadier energy release. Himalayan crystal salts provide electrolytes and a full spectrum of 80 trace minerals. When... 1 gel up to 45 mins before the start, 1-2 gels per hour during training or racing and 1 gel after. Why... Kicks gel will raise your blood sugar levels and keep your muscles fed. 1-2 gels per hour provide you with carbohydrates to support depleted muscle stores and re-energise your performance. Fact... Sodium, Potassium and Chloride are essential for electrolyte balance and Magnesium and Calcium are required for muscle function. The Himalayan crystal salts in Kicks gels provide a full spectrum of trace minerals and electrolytes. Tip... Water is the most important sports aid available. Just a 2% reduction in hydration can impair performance. We recommend you take our gels with a small amount of water. Feeling fatigued during your training? Caffeine has been shown to decrease perception of fatigue - try our caffeinated Lemon Zinger gel.


	MegaBites MuleBar but smaller. Bite size morsels each packed with 30g of steady energy. A mixture of glucose from organic brown rice syrup, fructose from natural fruit sugars and slower releasing sugars from oats and rice provides effective energy the way nature intended. When... 1-2 in the 30-60 minutes before event or training. Why... 1-3 bars per hour provide you with around 20g-60g of digestible carbohydrate per hour, an amount that has been shown to extend endurance performance. A handy size for racing as it can be taken in one bite. Fact... Aim for one MegaBite every 20 min during exercise over 60 min. Spacing carbohydrate out like this is more effective than having one large dose at the beginning and kinder to the stomach! Tip... Using MuleBar products during training will not only provide your body with the energy and building blocks it needs, it will get your stomach used to exercising on food too.		ReFuel bars Fairtrade, 20% protein recovery ReFuel bars provide you with a mix of whey protein and high GI carbohydrates from organic brown rice syrup to support your recovery. When... Consume 1 recovery bar within the first 20-60 minutes after exercise. Why... Immediately after training your cells are most receptive to nutrients. The branch chain amino acids (BCAA) in whey protein are associated with improved muscle recovery and prevention of muscle wasting, whilst high GI sugars have been shown to be excellent for replenishing muscle energy stores in the 24hrs post exercise. Fact... Most high protein recovery bars taste chalky. Not ours. The ingredients have been chosen to give you the taste of a chocolate bar but the natural goodness of real foods. Tip... The more you exercise the greater your protein requirements. Average endurance athletes require between 1.2 and 1.7g of protein per kg of their body weight per day. Use this bar as a snack when you can’t get to a proper meal and protect your body’s protein reserves.
