FAQs
- What are the benefits of beetroot?
  
  Each bar is packed with the equivalent of a medium sized beet and therefore the associated dietary nitrates. The health and performance benefits of nitrates are widely researched, you can read in more detail about how nitrates can boost your performance. Dietary nitrates cause a Nitric Oxide boost in the blood which in turn can help lower blood pressure and improve arterial blood flow through vasodilation of capillaries. This enhanced blood flow has been found to aid sporting performance in a range of research trials and studies.
- How do I use the POWR bars?
  
  1) For the performance-driven we recommend 1 - 2 bars daily for 3 days before you compete; this is because dietary nitrates have been shown to boost blood nitrite levels and aid performance. Another bar around 2-3 hours before competition will keep blood nitrite at peak levels. Read more about the importance of nitrates for athletes here.
  2) Secondly the beetroot Pow® Plant bars are endurance energy bars, so they’re perfect for eating out on a longer ride, run or hike - anytime you need to keep your energy topped up. VOOM ambassadors have used them to great effect as part of their strategy during ultra-running events, triathlons and even around climbing competitions.
  3) Pow® plant energy bars can also make a healthy snack bar as part of your daily life for example when you need a quick snack after work and before you train. They’re also the perfect tasty snack between main meals throughout the day or when you want a light snack before a morning run.

Health Boosting Superfoods!

Packed with dietary nitrates from freeze-dried beetroot which have been shown to reduce blood pressure.

More Information

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 270 Kcals, with 33 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 MCT's 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.

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

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.

Boost Your Performance!

The bar provides 270kcal, with 33 grams of carbohydrate in the form of rapidly delivered energy from short and medium chain carbs in apple and grape juice providing an immediate boost, slowly delivered sustained energy from gluten free oats and further energy in the form of medium chain triglyceride’s in coconut oil.

More Information

We have selected a variety of carbohydrates to provide a staggered release of energy over time. The bar provides 270kcal, with 33 grams of carbohydrate in the form of rapidly delivered energy from short and medium chain carbs in apple and grape juice providing an immediate boost, slowly delivered sustained energy from gluten free oats and further energy in the form of medium chain triglyceride’s in coconut oil.

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.

Boost Endurance!

Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest and most versatile oils available containing healthy medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which can aid endurance by hepling conserve glycogen stores.

More Information

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. In providing energy MCTs can have a glycogen sparing effect which aids endurance.

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.
