Endurance bars 2.0: chocolate almond hazelnut
Cordyceps stimulates blood circulation and oxygen uptake - and oxygen as a fuel supports endurance and reduces the risk of disease. Cordyceps also stimulates ATP production (the energy source for all body cells). This makes you more energetic and less tired.
Furthermore, cordyceps has anti-inflammatory uses, supports immune function and stimulates circulation and testosterone production. Because of the latter 2, Cordyceps contributes to a healthy libido and this mushroom is also called “ Cordysex ”.

Guaraná is one of nature's strongest stimulants! With an average of 4.7% caffeine, guarana seeds are 2-3 times as strong as coffee beans!
We all know the effects of caffeine: it keeps you awake, energizes and stimulates a cheerful feeling. But due to the high fiber content of guarana seeds, the effect is gradual and long-lasting. So you don't get an energy peak or crash as is often the case with coffee or energy drinks.
What many don't know is that caffeine is also a strong antioxidant. In other words, a protector of the body cells. In addition, guaraná also contains theophylline and theobromine , making it comparable to green tea. Theophylline helps lung and heart function and theobromine acts as a caffeine diet.

With their caramel-like taste and soft fleshy structure, our Dalia Sukkaray dates are ideally suited for making raw bars .

Oats are an indispensable ingredient for concentrates. It is full of complex (or "slow") carbohydrates and has 11% fiber. This ensures that it digests gradually and releases energy over a long time.
Moreover, oats contain a lot of protein. With 14 grams of protein per 100 grams, oats contain up to twice (!) as much protein as other vegetable protein sources such as cooked chickpeas or black beans.

Almonds and hazelnuts are indispensable in an athletes diet. Together they provide this delicious nut butter with 19% proteins, healthy fats, magnesium and almost all B vitamins (important for energy production and oxygen transport)!

In terms of taste, chocolate-almond-hazelnut is of course a no-brainer. Moreover, with 80% dark chocolate you have a lot of cocoa. Cacao is full of antioxidants and is the plant product with the highest concentration of magnesium – a mineral that we get far too little of in the standard Western diet.
In addition, cocoa contains a lot of healthy fats, which give chocolate that delicious smooth taste, and it is rich in proteins. Finally, cocoa contains theobromine and a little bit of caffeine , these substances make you alert and have a positive effect on your mood.

Celtic sea salt is the "primal" mineral supplement. In addition to sodium (the mineral with a "salt taste"), it contains about 70 other minerals, including the electrolytes magnesium, calcium and potassium.

We recommend eating no more than 2 Endurance bars per day, for a maximum of 5/7 days per week.*
Cordyceps has been used safely in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. In the West, the maximum dose for Cordyceps has never been established, but it has been used safely by healthy* adults in daily doses of 3–6 grams for 1 year.
Our guaraná contains an average of 3.9 % caffeine, varying from harvest to harvest. That means that the Endurance bar contains an average of 39 mg of caffeine per serving – comparable to 1 cup of black tea. Although doses of up to 400mg per day have been tested safe for healthy adults, caffeine sensitivity is highly individual. Eat the Endurance bar no later than 6 hours before going to sleep to prevent your sleep being disturbed.
*Cordyceps stimulates your blood flow and strengthens your immune system. This is desirable for most people, but before surgery and in autoimmune conditions, Cordyceps may exacerbate symptoms. Do not use in combination with immune suppressors and anticoagulants.
For the optimal effect, we recommend taking the bars at different times.* For example:
- An Endurance bar in the morning and a Flow bar for work or study in the afternoon.
- A Flow rawnola breakfast bowl and an Endurance bar as pre-workout snack (45-60 minutes before your workout).
- A Flow bar for breakfast an an Endurance bar to power through your post-lunch dip in the afternoon.
*Keep in mind the maximum daily doses.
Keep the bars cool, dry and dark (e.g. in a cold cupboard or drawer). Then it will stay good for at least 9 months after production date.
On the product you'll find a best before date used for our quality assurance. If you store your bars beyond this date, use your nose and eyes to determine whether they are still edible.
