A special bread for athletes to improve their performance

The Sportsgrain Bar contains, in addition to the usual bread ingredients (wholemeal flour, yeast, salt and water), teff seeds, carrot fibers, bananas, cranberries, raisins, flaxseed flour, wheat germs and sour dough powder (wheat and rye). This bread is a source of fibers, contains vitamins and minerals and salt with lowered sodium content. It is the first bread product with specific benefits for sportsmen and according to the panel of experts, it is a very good alternative to existing sport (energy) bars.

The composition of the Sportsgrain Bar is based on recommendations by HAN SENECA Sports & Exercise Nutrition, who conducted research in conjunction with the InnoSportLab Papendal and the top-level sports restaurant of Sports Centre Papendal. The combination of starch and fruit provides an optimal mix of fast and slow carbohydrates, in line with the latest scientific research on carb intake. In the pilot phase of the development the Sportsgrain Bar was received positively by the trial subjects, all top-level athletes. The results of the research show that the Sportsgrain Bar is effective before, during, and after physical effort.

The Sportsgrain Bar, however, is also appreciated by average consumers interested in healthy products for instance as an alternative to energy bars or people who can use an extra energy boost during the day.

The Sportsgrain Bar consists solely of pure ingredients. The Sportsgrain Bar was winner of the ‘Jaarprijs Goede Voeding 2015’.
