FAQ’S.

A. Yes. Promax Energy Bars contain 20 grams of high quality protein per bar. This is the equivalent grams of protein to eating 3 large eggs (21 grams protein), two cups of low-fat milk (22 grams protein) and 4 oz of canned tuna (20 grams protein). It is about 40% of the recommended daily intake of protein (based on FDA guidelines).

Protein comes from the Greek word meaning “of prime importance”. Protein contains amino acids that are the building blocks of every structure in our body including skin, hair, nails, muscle tissue, hormones, and the immune system. Nine of these amino acids are classified as essential, meaning they cannot be manufactured by our bodies and must come from food. The protein in Promax Energy Bars helps the body recover after exercise, form new tissue and regulate key body functions.

A. Absolutely. All the proteins in Promax Energy Bars (soy, whey, and milk casein) are complete proteins, which contain all nine amino acids that are the building blocks of every structure in our body. Each of these three protein sources has the highest Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1, indicating they are all complete proteins.

Promax Energy Bars do not contain any gelatin, an incomplete protein source typically derived from processing pigs and cows skins and hoofs, which has a PDCAAS score of 0.

A. Yes, and contrary to what you may have heard, carbohydrates in moderation are good for you! They act as the primary clean-burning energy source in the body and help stabilize our blood glucose levels (commonly referred to as “blood sugar”) for maintaining optimal physical and mental performance. A steady flow of blood glucose from dietary carbohydrate also quells hunger cravings and prevents lean muscle tissue from being sacrificed as an energy source.

Promax Energy Bars’ balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein, and dietary fat help sustain energy levels and support appetite satisfaction.

A. Promax Energy Bars are designed with different sweeteners to help optimize glycemic response. Some natural sweeteners, like dextrose, enter the bloodstream rapidly. Others, such as fructose, break down much slower. In a meal or nutrition supplement, when a profile of varying levels of sugars are combined with protein and fat, it creates a product that gradually increases blood glucose levels (associated with energy levels) and maintains them for an extended period of time.

Unlike some other lower sugar protein bars that use maltitol (a sugar alcohol that can upset your stomach), artificial sweeteners (like sucralose), and incomplete proteins from animal bi-products (like gelatin), Promax LS provides an all natural lower sugar protein bar.

PromaxLS has 18 grams of complete, high quality protein, only 9 grams of sugar, is an excellent source of fiber, and contains stevia, an all natural non-nutritive sweetener. Promax LS is also gluten free, vegetarian, and contains no artificial sweeteners or animal bi-products.

Stevia is a plant (specifically, a member of the chrysanthemum family) native to portions of northeastern Paraguay. Its leaves contain glycosides which account for its incredible sweetness, and have been used to sweeten foods and beverages for more than 200 years.

Stevia is used in PromaxLS as an all natural non-nutritive sweetener to make the bar taste great while containing only 9 grams of sugar. It is a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame.

The soluble corn fiber used in Promax LS is a natural fiber that is well tolerated, has a low glycemic response, and is used to replace sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar, with only half of the calories.

Soluble corn fiber is also an excellent source of dietary fiber and offers the health benefit of being prebiotic. A prebiotic feeds and stimulates the growth and metabolism of good bacteria aiding digestion and supporting the body’s immune system.

PromaxLS (lower sugar bar) ingredients were selected to work in conjunction with one another. While together they elicit a low glycemic response, there are sufficient carbohydrates to help transport the proteins into the body’s cells.

The fiber complements the reduced sugar and a significant amount of protein to help produce lasting satiety. Soluble corn fiber has been shown to be well tolerated, helping to prevent gastric distress.

A. Yes. Promax Energy Bars are made with natural ingredients and contain no artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils.

A. No. Promax Energy Bars are not formulated with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Hydrogenated oils are a primary contributor of harmful trans-fats in food products. We use only naturally processed vegetable fats and oils in Promax Energy Bars.

A. No. Promax Energy Bars do not contain high fructose corn syrup.

A. Yes. All Promax Energy Bars are gluten free.

A. No. All Promax Energy Bars are maltitol free. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol that is used as a sugar substitute which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Excessive use can have a laxative effect. Additionally, some forms of maltitol have been shown to have a glycemic index equivalent to honey and only one less calorie per gram than sugar.

A. No. Gelatin, typically made from the byproducts of the meat and leather industries, is an incomplete protein source. It lacks the amino acid, tryptophan, and contains only a small amount of methionine. Because of this, gelatin cannot be used as efficiently by your body as a complete protein such as soy or whey.

A. No. Promax Energy Bars are not just for athletes or bodybuilders. They offer portable nutrition for on-the-go moms/dads or busy professionals that at some point in the day skip a meal or snack on junk food. You can use Promax Energy Bars to fill in daily gaps where you typically skip a meal or make an unfavorable food choice. Promax Energy Bars can compliment a proper whole food diet.

A. Yes. Half of a Promax Energy Bar is a great snack for children. A whole bar may also be used as a snack or meal replacement for older kids that tend to skip meals or have little time to eat properly between activities. It is always a good idea to consult with your child’s pediatrician before using Promax Energy Bars or other nutritional supplements.

A. Yes. Promax Energy Bars contain protein, calcium, folate, and other important prenatal nutrients required during pregnancy and lactation.

However, we recommend that they are used for snacks and not meal replacements. Promax Energy Bars along with nutrient-dense meals help assure that a female gets the extra calories necessary during pregnancy and lactation. Always consult a physician before using Promax Energy Bars or other nutritional supplements during pregnancy.

A. Yes. We do not recommend Promax Energy Bars for individuals with whey, soy, peanut, or tree nut allergies. People with diabetes or hypoglycemia should consult a physician before using Promax Energy Bars.

A. Yes. All Promax bars are certified kosher.

A. Promax core bars come in 9 great tasting flavors including; Cookies n’ Cream, Double Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Nutty Butter Crisp, Chocolate Peanut Crunch, Rocky Road, Chocolate Mint, Lemon Bar, and German Chocolate Cake. PromaxLS bars come in Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Fudge flavors.

A. Use Promax Energy Bars as part of your exercise routine or eat daily as a balanced snack or meal replacement. Use 30-60 minutes before exercise for energy or within 30 minutes after your workout for post-exercise recovery.

A. Promax Energy Bars are nutrient dense and require liquids to efficiently breakdown and disperse their specific proportions of carbohydrates, protein, dietary fat, vitamins, and minerals.

Water is the best choice because it is non-caloric, caffeine-free, and will not compromise a Promax Energy Bar’s nutrition profile.
