Endurance starts here.

This artisanally crafted bar is specially developed to deliver stable and continuous energy for up to 2 hours, making it ideal for longer efforts*. Thanks to its predominantly slow-release carbohydrates, it’s best consumed during the early phase of long training sessions to prevent energy dips. As your session progresses, you can switch to the Pro Energy Bar or Gel for faster energy delivery.

  • Carbs 80%
    Carbs 80%
  • Slow absorption = long lasting effect 99%
    Slow absorption = long lasting effect 99%

This 40 g bar is specifically formulated to optimally support your performance during running, trail running, cycling and triathlon.

The bar delivers energy at two speeds: fast energy and slow, long-lasting energy. This makes it ideal for long-duration efforts, or to alternate with the Pro Energy Bar during training or at the start of a race.

Why this bar works for you

We wanted to create a bar that’s different from most energy bars on the market. There’s a real need for a high-quality carbohydrate source for long efforts. Many bars and gels provide a quick energy hit but rarely last longer than 45 minutes. With this composition, you’re assured of 1.5 to 2 hours of steady energy uptake.

Did you know?

This bar is artisanally baked by a local Belgian baker. This allows us to closely monitor the entire production process and ensure a bar that’s firm enough, yet has a smooth, easy-to-chew and swallow texture.

How to use?

Kristof: Gebruik 1 bar per uur tijdens het eerste deel van jou training.

Net vóór een lange training, om een stevige hoeveelheid basisenergie te verzekeren voor de eerste 60 à 80 minuten. In het 2e deel van jouw training kan je overschakelen naar een sneller werkende energiebron, zoals onze Pro energy bar of gel, om krachtig te finishen. De Pro crunch bar is ook een gezond tussendoortje.

In our team, we use this bar for pre-race quick carb loading or during long training sessions. The muesli is a very reliable and consistent energy provider, ideal for preventing energy depletion during an extended workout.

6-Carb Strategy

By combining six different carbohydrates, you unlock a clear performance advantage. This approach allows fast and complete energy uptake, without energy dips, so you can access your full strength and endurance during exercise.

The 6-carb strategy is based on insights from top coach and performance manager Kristof De Kegel (Alpecin–Deceuninck). He analysed which carbohydrate sources work best for endurance and strength, and in what ratios.

The result is a strategy where, by using the right carbohydrate sources at the right time, athletes can absorb up to 35% more energy. A key condition is alternating six different carbohydrates in the correct ratios. That’s why all Neapharma products have been aligned with this strategy since 2023, making us the only brand where this system works across the full range.

To simplify things, we developed the Neapharma Fuel Plan App, which automatically generates a personalized fueling plan, without endless calculations.

How to get a personalised Fuel plan
At Neapharma, we combine our superior sports nutrition with our own free Fuel Plan App. Utilize the same tools as the professionals, thanks to coach & Performance Manager Kristof De Kegel. The app generates a personalized nutrition plan in seconds. The nutrition plan tells you hour by hour and kilometer by kilometer what you should eat and drink, entirely tailored to yourself and your goals. Thus, your nutrition plan will look entirely different when you go for a training ride or attempt to break a personal best. This app is also suitable for competitive cyclists.
How can I personalize my isotonic sports drink?
At Neapharma, we combine our Superior sports nutrition with our own Fuel Plan App. But that's not a must! You can use each Neapharma product on its own: an energy gel, recovery shake, or isotonic drink. Or you can personalize your sports nutrition with Kristof De Kegel's Fuel Plan App. Based on your energy expenditure, temperature, sweat profile, and 28 other parameters, you can personalize your isotonic drink and carbohydrate intake, and our free Fuel Plan App will assist you. - Pro Carb Max sticks: You turn your isotonic drink into a hypertonic drink because you want to absorb much more carbohydrates (=energy). This is perfect in the final stages or at the start of a significant challenge. Add 1 to 2 sticks to your isotonic sports drink. - Hydro & O.R.S. sticks: Add 1 to 2 sticks to your isotonic drink to maximize support for your fluid balance. You can combine both the Carb Max sticks and the Hydro sticks in one water bottle with your isotonic sports drink.
"What is the 6-carbohydrate strategy?
The 6-carbohydrate strategy is the latest insight from top coach and Performance Manager at the cycling team Alpecin Deceuninck, Kristof De Kegel. He researched which carbohydrates are best used by athletes and what the ratio of these different energy sources is in relation to endurance and strength. He developed a strategy that, when you combine the right sources of carbohydrates at the right time, you can process up to 35% more energy. The key here is alternating between 6 different carbohydrates in the right proportion. Therefore, all Neapharma products have been adjusted since 2023, making us the only brand in the world where this strategy works. To simplify these calculations, Neapharma has created the Fuel Plan App, where your personalized nutrition plan is generated.
What is The importance of a nutrition plan
Een voedingsplan is van groot belang voor een sporter, omdat voeding een directe invloed heeft op de prestaties, het herstel en de algemene gezondheid. Hier zijn enkele redenen waarom een goed doordacht voedingsplan essentieel is voor sporters:
  1. Energy Supply: Athletes require sufficient energy to perform during training sessions and competitions. A nutrition plan ensures that the right amount of calories and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) is consumed to meet the energy needs of the athlete.
  2. Recovery: After intensive workouts or competitions, it is important to provide the body with the right nutrients to promote recovery. Proteins, for example, are crucial for muscle recovery, while carbohydrates help replenish glycogen stores.
  3. Optimal Performance: The timing and composition of meals can impact performance. A well-structured nutrition plan can assist athletes in getting the right nutrients at the right time, leading to improved endurance, strength, and speed.
  4. Weight Management: For some sports, it is important to maintain or achieve a specific weight. A nutrition plan can help regulate body weight and preserve the right body composition.
  5. Immune System: Intensive training can impact the immune system. A well-balanced nutrition plan with sufficient vitamins and minerals can support the immune system and reduce the risk of illnesses.
  6. Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for athletes to maintain performance and prevent dehydration. A nutrition plan can also include guidelines for adequate fluid intake.
What is the difference between an energy gel and energy bar?
The evolution of Neapharma energy gels is such that they are nearly as digestible as solid food. Therefore, there is almost no difference in digestibility between gels and solid food. However, solid food is less aggressive in terms of insulin response and has a less significant impact on blood sugar levels, making solid food a more stable and long-lasting source of energy. Energy gels are quicker to be absorbed but also have a faster onset and decline. Absorption time Bars: 6 - 12min Effect Bars:  45 -120min Absorption time Gels: 4 -6 min Effect Gels: 45 - 50 min
What is the difference between an energy gel and an isotonic gel?
Isotonic gels are outdated in science, providing fewer carbohydrates while overly focusing on fluid intake. A good energy gel contains sufficient moisture (without being isotonic) for the above reason and, in reality, has nearly the same fluid absorption as an isotonic gel but with a lot more energy.
What is isomaltulose?
Isomaltulose is one of the most powerful and complex carbohydrates in sports science. It has a slower metabolism than sucrose, resulting in a more gradual increase in blood glucose levels. It is often used as a carbohydrate source with a low glycemic index. This means that it can provide both quick and sustained energy. It prevents energy dips because of its prolonged effect. Therefore, it is also an ideal substance for carbohydrate loading. This way, with a combination of various carbohydrates and isomaltulose, you can go up to 120g of carbohydrates per hour!
Who is co-founder Kristof De Kegel?
Kristof De Kegel, the Head of Performance at the renowned cycling team Alpecin-Deceuninck and the women's team Fenix-Deceuninck, is also the passionate exercise physiologist behind the innovative Neapharma products. Among the list of athletes are Mathieu van Der Poel, Wout Van Aert, Puck Pieterse, and Stijn De Volder. Together with sports dietitian Kjell De Potter, Kristof consistently strives for the ultimate support of athletes through the development and testing of cutting-edge supplements and their application. Kristof and Kjell are also the developers of the Free Fuel Plan App, where you can create your own sports nutrition plan by combining 6 carbohydrates with each other.
Are single doses of powders and bars available?
Yes, you can purchase each product individually. On each product page, you will see 'quantity discount.' By default, this is set to the most favorable price. If you select '1 piece' there, you can buy 1 bar, 1 shot isotonic, or 1 shot recovery.
