Balance and necessity
Athletes need balance in our daily diet. Excessively low in any nutrient and you are essentially missing out on all the benefits that each nutrient can supply to the diet.
Smart Bar™, provides the ultimate, healthy bite-size, dual-action protein bar, which serves as either:
- A pre-workout snack with just the right amount of protein and carbohydrates to ensure a productive workout.
- A snack between meals to ensure protein levels are maintained and constant throughout the day. A late night snack complete with dual-acting protein sources and naturally-occurring fibre to ensure a slow and steady release of amino acids.
- An ideal mini-meal whilst on the road or throughout your regular day.
Just a few benefits of the ingredients within in Smart Bar™
- Whey Protein may help boost energy levels and assist with muscle growth.
- Whey Protein is a natural source of Leucine, a Branched Chain Amino Acid that plays a vital part in muscle protein synthesis.
- Added dietary protein may help provide satiety, potentially aiding weight-loss and helping to avoid snacking.
- Smart Bar is rich in Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) from 3 protein sources (Whey Protein, Micellar Casein and Soy protein)
- Whey Protein is also rich in cysteine, a precursor to the potent antioxidant Glutathione.
- Whey Protein Concentrate contains naturally-occurring components that play a large role in maintaining gut and intestinal health. Three pre-biotic components of Whey Protein (Glycomacropeptide-GMP, Lactoferrin-LF and Calcium) all have potential to act as friendly bacteria within the colon and ensure optimum health.
- Whey Protein can help bolster the immune system and ensure optimum well-being.
- Smart Bar™ contains Micellar Casein which is a very slow-release protein, shown to be efficient at releasing amino acids into the bloodstream over a long period of time.
- Soy Protein compares extremely favourably to Whey Protein on many fronts. One study showed that supplementing with a nutritional bar containing Soy Protein favourably increased antioxidant status post-exercise, in fact more so that a bar containing Whey Protein only.
- Recent experimental and epidemiological studies have provided convincing evidence for a variety of health benefits derived from the consumption of Soy Protein and soy food products.
Smart Bar™ is part of the PhD Nutrition Mass and Strength range and can be used successfully with all other PhD products.
