Promax: Promax LS

Promax LS Lower Sugar Energy Bars have 18 grams of complete, high quality protein, only 9 grams of sugar, are an excellent source of fiber, and contain stevia, an all natural non-nutritive sweetener. Promax LS is also gluten-free, vegetarian, and contains no artificial sweeteners or animal bi-products. The ingredients 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 in the body.

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 and have the highest Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1. The Promax protein blend incorporates fast (whey), intermediate (soy) and slow (casein) digesting proteins to extend the anabolic window to optimize lean body mass gains.

Stevia is used in Promax LS as a 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. Stevia is a plant 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.

•Promax bars contain no gluten.
Promax Bars are certified Gluten-Free by the GFCO (Gluten-Free Certifying Organization). Strict standards have been set in the manufacturing facility to ensure no cross-contamination of surfaces, ingredients or finished products.

•Promax Bars are Maltitol Free.
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol that is used as a sugar substitute in many bars which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, some forms of maltitol have been shown to have a high glycemic index equivalent to honey and only one less calorie per gram than sugar.

•Promax bars are Gelatin Free.
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 whey or soy.

PROMAX BARS ALSO CONTAIN NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, TRANS FATS OR ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, PRESERVATIVES, FLAVORS OR COLORS.
