Science at the heart of our formula

• Natural blend of fruit-derived carbohydrates: Most of the 19 g of carbohydrates come from dates and bananas—two natural sources that combine simple and complex carbohydrates.
• 2:1 glucose–fructose ratio: Ensures efficient carbohydrate absorption and helps reach 60–90 g of carbohydrates per hour when combined with other products from the Long Energy range.
• Essential minerals & vitamins: Provides sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Vitamins B1, B5, and C are involved in various metabolic processes and protect cells against oxidative stress.
• Plant-based protein source: The bar provides 3.8 g of protein, mainly from soy isolate, which contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.

FAQ

Can this bar replace an energy gel during training?
The Long Energy bar can be consumed during training, but it does not fully replace an energy gel. Both provide carbohydrates, but in different formats: the bar offers a solid option, while the gel is quicker and easier to consume while moving. They can be used alternately.

How can I gradually train my body to tolerate a higher carbohydrate intake during long endurance efforts? (Advice from Sylvain Court, world trail running champion)
“I started very low—around 30 g per hour—then progressively increased to 60 g, 70 g, and finally 80-90 g per hour, depending on the sessions and duration. I alternate between bars, gels, and energy drinks, which allows me to maintain a regular intake while respecting my stomach’s needs over time.”

Does the bar contain allergens?
The recipe contains soy as a source of protein. It contains no added gluten but may contain traces due to the manufacturing process. Please refer to the ingredient list to check compatibility with your needs.
