Super Bar, Anti-Oxidant Protein Bar
Product Education
Super Bar
This bar is not only a highly nutritious protein bar with a delicious combination of peanut butter and chocolate, it is the only true anti-oxidant bar featuring Cherry Flex extract that is thought to fight against the potential precursors of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Extensive research on the main Cherry Flex ingredient shows a very large concentration of the anthocyanins that are responsible for this anti-oxidant preventative action.
The Legend:
Nutrition Bars are a dime a dozen. Some taste good, most are chiseled out of pure cardboard. Sports Research was determined to make not only a great tasting, extremely nutritious, high protein bar but with a twist...a powerful anti-oxidant, cherry flex, was added to each and every bar. Anti-oxidants are thought to be effective in helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Therefore, Super Bar became the most nutritious nutrition bar ever created. Now it is yours to enjoy every crunch!
What is it?
Super Bar is delicious peanut butter & chocolate, high protein bar that contains a unique, highly beneficial ingredient called Cherry Flex...concentrated cherry extract...that is a tremendous anti-oxidant.
Sports Research Corporation, a pioneer in health and fitness products developed the product.
Super Bar is made of high quality protein and contains anti-oxidants...anthcyanins...the formal name for the active ingredient contained in cherries.
Super Bar was developed as a high quality snack for students and parents on the go. Reach for a Super Bar instead of an empty calorie treat. It is also a handy meal substitute when you can't eat properly. For athletes, it provides a great source of highly digestible protein following high intensity workouts which can help in muscle growth.
Super Bar was developed at a lab in the heartland of America where sweet cherries ripen on the banks of Lake Michigan.
The bar was launched in the spring of 2005 when cherry blossoms were forming on cherry trees just thawing out from a harsh winter frost.
Why should you take it?
SuperBar is for everyone...kid and adults. It's a healthy snack that you can reach for when you feel hunger pangs. But SuperBar is beyond your normal everyday protein bar. The active ingredient added to the bar in the form of concentrated cherry extract provides a handy and highly effective anti-oxidant.
Anti-oxidants are taken to ward off the potential ravages of free radical cell damage. Free radicals are known to be precursors of diseases like cancer and heart disease.
Eating SuperBars can help you gain or keep lean muscle tissue and provide the anti-oxidant protection that you need.
For a burst of energy or just to quell your hunger without reaching for junk food, the protein contained in SuperBars is your ticket! Protein is the building block of lean protein...and modern day diets are often devoid of enough protein.
when you develop lean muscle tissue, your strength increases. If you're an athlete, speed and endurance can increase. If you're an everyday student, that extra energy will be there when you want to study late or play. If you are an adult, the benefits of anti-oxidants are well researched.
-Research at Michigan State and other prestigious institutions has clearly demonstrated the anti-oxidant qualities of the anthocyanins contained in the SuperBar.
How to use it:
Athough SuperBars are delicious and nutritious, be careful...a single bar contains 220 calories. So limit your total intake to one or two per day if want the maximum benefit without having to worry about too many calories and gaining body fat. However, if you are active and burning hundreds of calories per day, peel back those colorful wrappers and enjoy!
Each SuperBar contains 20 grams of protein and only 1grams of carbohydrates. It is not a low, low carb food but the bars have less than half of most other protein bars.
If protein is your quest, we also suggest trying our Supernn Charged Whey Protein available in two delicious flavors, Vanilla and Chocolate.
A word about anti-oxidants:
At the molecular level, antioxidants neutralize certain particles called free radicals. In humans, free radicals arrive in the form of O2, the oxygen molecule. The oxygen molecule wants to be oxidized. Oxidation process can sometimes be carcinogenic. Free radicals are the natural by-products of many processes within and between cells. Exposure to various environmental factors like tobacco smoke and radiation can create free radicals. Some people also attribute exercising to the creation of free radicals...as ironic as this may sound.
Left unchecded, these free radicals can cause damage to cell structures, cell walls, and genetic material within the cells. Over an extended period, such damage may become irreversible and lead to disease such as cancer. Now this is where anti-oxidants can be of great assistance.
Antioxidants capture free radicals before they get a chance to do harm in your body. How do they work? Research has demonstrated that antioxidants ward off the possible carcinogenic effects of oxidation. Despite copious research designed to specifically determine the role of antioxidants in preventing cancer and heart disease, there is no concrete conclusion about the exact benefit from taking antioxidant supplements.
Research has shown that older people, especially those who have reduced their food intake, use aspirin frequently, heavy drinkers, and people with lowered immune systems may be the beneficiaries of taking antioxidant supplements daily. Scientists say that it is possible that higher levels of antioxidants slow or prevent the development of arterial blockages, a complicated process involving the oxidation of cholesterol thus preventing heart disease and stroke.. Antioxidants may lower plaque formation on arterial walls.
There are conflicting reports on the health benefits of antioxidants and beta-carotene...not unusual in the scientific community. Who can you believe? A healthy, well balanced diet is the best solution thus no need for supplements! But who eats perfectly? A diet rich in fruits, veggies, carrots, spinach, cantaloupe, and mangoes are great sources of antioxidants.
For information on cancer, heart disease, and antioxidants you can call the National Institutes of Health's information office at (301) 251-1222 or the National Cancer Institute at 800-4-CANCER. Also, you can seek advice from your doctor if he or she has been trained on all the broad knowledge now associated with anti-oxidants and other nutritional supplements.
