The POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ high protein bar was developed according to the needs of world class athletes and others who want a convenient, great tasting source of high quality protein. As with other POWERBAR® products, POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ is a great addition to a healthy diet to help achieve optimal performance.

POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ is designed for use after a workout to aid in muscle growth and recovery and is also a convenient source of high quality protein to add to your overall diet. Protein is one of the most vital and complex nutrients in a diet, and helps support muscle recovery after strenuous exercise. For best results, after exercise drink 8-16 ounces of water with each POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ bar to aid in the absorption of nutrients and help maintain hydration.

Protein is essential for muscle recovery following exercise. When you eat a combination of protein and carbohydrates, your body more effectively converts and stores the carbohydrate in the muscles as glycogen. Protein helps support muscle recovery and provides the building blocks necessary for muscles to grow stronger and handle the stress of future workouts.

Product Features

POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ 78g bars contain approximately 52% of calories from carbohydrates, 33% from protein, and 15% from fat.

Protein: 23 grams of high quality protein from our proprietary TriSource™ protein blend. TriSource™ protein is an exclusive blend of high quality whey, casein and soy proteins. Protein is essential to help repair, maintain and grow human tissues and muscles. Athletes generally require 0.4 grams to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.(*ProteinPlus never uses any low-quality "junk" proteins, such as collagen or gelatin, that lack essential amino acids necessary for muscle recovery and growth.)
Branched Chain Amino Acids: 5.0 grams of naturally occurring essential amino acids leucine, valine and isoleucine.
L-Glutamine: 4.4 grams of l-glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in muscles.
Carbohydrates: 22–23 grams of simple and 14–15 grams of complex carbohydrates. Carbohydrates help replenish muscle glycogen stores after exercise.
Low Fat: Each 78g bar contains just 6g of total fat.
Vitamins: 100% RDI of antioxidant vitamins C & E, which help to combat free radicals; plus 100% RDI of eight energy-releasing B-complex vitamins, which help the body convert food into energy and utilize protein.
Minerals 20–45% RDI of seven key minerals, including calcium, which is important for strong bones, and magnesium, which helps your body produce energy.

The PowerBar TriSource™ protein blend is a combination of three protein sources; Whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate and Soy Protein Isolate. As with other POWERBAR® products, we strive to make the highest quality products available to help athletes achieve their performance goals. We developed the TriSource™ protein blend in POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ to be a high quality protein source.

The FDA requires that a food's protein quality be measured using Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Scoring (PDCAAS). The score ranks proteins based on digestibility and the relative level of essential amino acids. Protein is comprised of amino acids, and the essential amino acids are the ones that you must obtain through your diet since your body cannot manufacture them.

When using the PDCAAS method for evaluating protein quality, a score of 1 indicates the highest quality of protein that supplies the essential amino acids at the right ratios to support growth and health. Egg, milk, soy isolate and meat proteins receive a score of 1 with this method. Conversely, gelatin is a poor quality protein with a PDCAAS of 0. The protein sources in the PowerBar TriSource*™ protein blend all score a 1 with the PDCAAS method.
