These energy bars were created to take advantage of the benefits of beet root. Beet root is high in natural organic nitrates. In short, organic nitrates work in the body to lower blood pressure and allow muscles to do the same amount of work with less oxygen requirements. Beet root also contains quercetin and resverastrol, both of which aid in the body’s ability to produce mitochondria and improve the mitochondria’s ability to process oxygen. The more mitochondria in the body, the more capacity for energy production. Plus this bar contains coconut oil-a source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which (unlike other fats) can enter the blood stream directly for an immediate fuel source during activity.
