Powerbar Energize Drink 1400g

Powerbar Energize isotonic sports drink based on Powerbar's C2MAX glucos and fructose carbohydrate blend to maximise carbohydrate absorption. Powerbar Energize is also enriched with essiential amino acids (fuel for the muscles) and contains added vitamins and minerals. 

Powerbar Energize Drink is available in Berry, Lemon or Orange flavours with this 1400g jar making approximately 20 litres at the suggested concentration.

PowerBar C2 MAX is a dual source carbohydrate blend based on a 2:1 mixture of glucose and fructose. By combing carbohydrate sources, rather than relying on glucose only, the rate of carbohydrate absorption by working muscles can be increased by over 50%. More energy to the muscles means improved endurance performance, with research studies showing on average improvement of 8%.

Press Reviews

Mix this up at the suggested strength and this energy drink powder is isotonic – meaning that it contains a similar concentration of dissolved particles to your body. At that level, we really like the taste – it’s not too sweet like some energy drinks, so you’re inclined to carry on drinking and keep your hydration level up.

Overall Verdict - Fine-tasting energy drink with added electrolytes for fast hydration - we like it.

Source: Road.cc Powerber Energize Review - May 2010

'No stomach problems - not unheard of with energy drinks - and no cloying aftertaste are big plusses. The new C2Max formula, with increased fructose, delivers the goods quicker than ever. That's a thumbs-up from this tester.'

This isotonic drink from PowerBar provides rapid hydration, with a special carb mix to maximise energy delivery speed along with added essential vitamins and minerals...it comes in an easy to use bottle that can be refilled with other energy or sports drinks. We tried the berry flavour that, like most of PowerBar''s flavours, is quite strong. Nonetheless it is very palatable and easy to hold down. It''s best used before or during a run or ride. That said, it will replace carbs post session, though lacks the protein to be classed as a complete recovery drink. 

Summary: Quaffable energy drink with vitamins and minerals - Rating: Performance 8, Value 8
