| HIGH PROTEIN
Work-Outs Bar is formulated with a combination of Proteins
like Whey Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate and
Soy Nuggets.
HIGH FIBER
Work-Outs
bar has a blend of soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble
fiber is excreted from our body. It acts like a broom
in the body and cleanses the entire digestive system.
It promotes regular bowel movement and prevents constipation.
A good presence of oats (key ingredient) in this bar
is the source of insoluble fiber. Fructo Oligo Sacchrides
(FOS) and Wheat fiber are key ingredients that give
soluble fiber. Soluble fiber slows down the absorption
of sugar, which helps control blood sugar levels. It
also lowers total cholesterol (LDL cholesterol i.e.
bad cholesterol) therefore reducing the risk of heart
disease.
21 VITAMINS & MINERALS
Vitamins act as powerful preventative measures against
disease and the aging process. Vitamins cannot be assimilated
without ingesting food. This is why it is suggested
that vitamins must be taken with a meal. RiteBite Work-Outs
bar is fortified with most essential vitamins &
minerals.
• Antioxidants
Antioxidants are substances used by the body
to protect itself from damage caused by oxidation. Oxidation
is a process that causes damage in our tissues through
the work of free radicals. Free radicals may cause heart
damage, cancer and a weak immune system. Antioxidants
counteract these cellular by-products and bind with
them before they can cause damage. Vitamin A, E &
C have greater antioxidant properties than any other
vitamin.
• Vitamin A
Vitamin A is one of the most versatile
vitamins, with roles in such diverse functions as vision,
immune defenses, maintenance of body linings and skin,
bone and body growth, normal cell development, and reproduction.
Vitamin A helps form and maintains healthy teeth, skeletal
and soft tissue, mucous membranes, and skin. Thus Vitamin
A is important in protecting against conditions related
to oxidative stress such as aging, cancer, cardiovascular
disease, diabetes and infection.
• Vitamin C
Vitamin C is responsible for helping
to build and maintain our tissues and strengthening
our immune system. The body requires vitamin C to form
and maintain bones, blood vessels, and skin. Vitamin
C is perhaps the most popular vitamin among the common
nutrients and biochemicals.
• Vitamin E
It maintains the integrity of the
body's intracellular membrane, helps protect against
heart disease and the development of cancers by enhancing
immune function.
• Vitamin D
Vitamin
D is a fat soluble vitamin that can be made in the body
after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain
normal levels of calcium and phosphorus. By promoting
calcium absorption, vitamin D helps to form and maintain
strong bones.
• B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12)
B Vitamins are known
as the "energy vitamins" because of their
energy creating traits. These vitamins are essential
for the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, which
provides us energy. They are also essential for the
breakdown of fats and proteins, which aids the normal
functioning of the nervous system, muscle tone in the
stomach and intestinal tract, and healthy hair, skin
and eyes. Important in protein, carbohydrate metabolism
and hormone production.
• Folic Acid
Folic acid is a supplemental
form of a B Complex vitamin called folate, necessary
for formation of red blood cells, DNA synthesis and
protein metabolism. Folic acid plays a key role in formation
of red blood cells. Folic acid deficiency is a known
cause of anemia in women. Folic acid is well recognized
for its value in the prevention of certain birth defects.
• Biotin
A vitamin of the B complex,
also known as vitamin H. Biotin is found in small amounts
in body tissues, combined with protein. It plays an
important role in many reactions, including the release
of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Biotin
also helps to maintain normal blood glucose concentrations
from protein when carbohydrate sources have been exhausted.
Biotin is needed for normal vitamin B12 activity.
• Vitamin K
Vitamin K prevents calcification
of arteries and other soft tissue, improves bone health,
reduce risk of bone fractures and primarily regulates
normal blood clotting. Blood clotting is a process that
begins automatically when any injury produces a tear
in a blood vessel.
• Selenium
Selenium is an essential mineral
and acts as an antioxidant preventing free radical damage.
Selenium is essential for normal pancreatic function.
Selenium and Vitamin E combined have a synergistic quality
that improves the effectiveness of both compounds.
• Chromium
Chromium is an essential trace
mineral in the body that aids insulin in the transfer
of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells. Two
main benefits are helps weight control and increase
in lean body mass.
• Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential
mineral to the human body. It is needed for bone, protein,
and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating
B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood and forming
adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the energy the body runs
on).
• Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral that
is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to repair
wounds, maintain fertility in adults and growth in children,
synthesize protein, help cells reproduce, preserve vision,
boost immunity and protect against free radicals, among
other functions.
• Phosphorus
Phosphorus is an essential
mineral that is usually found in nature combined with
oxygen as phosphate. Most of the phosphate in the human
body is in bone, but phosphate-containing molecules
(phospholipids) are also important components of cell
membranes and lipoprotein particles, such as HDL and
LDL ("good" and "bad" cholesterols,
respectively). Small amounts of phosphate play important
roles in numerous biochemical reactions throughout the
body.
• Calcium
Calcium is the most essential
mineral for the human body. Calcium is needed to form
bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting,
transmission of signals in nerve cells and muscle contraction.
Calcium is especially important for sportsperson because
they are more likely to lose calcium through perspiration.
In addition to being important for strong bones, calcium
is required for muscle contraction. Without enough calcium
one can experience muscle cramps.
AMINO ACIDS
Amino acids are popularly referred
to as "building blocks". Amino acids are chemical
units that makeup proteins. Branched-chain amino acids
(BCAA) include leucine, isoleucine as well as valine.
This group of amino acids help to maintain muscle tissue;
they also are needed during times of physical stress
and intense exercise.
L-Glutamine
The most beneficial amino acids for
Sports person are L-Glutamine and Creatine Monohydrate.
L-Glutamine plays a key role in muscle maintenance and
strengthen the immune system.
Creatine Monohydrate
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
is the initial fuel for muscle contractions. For intensive
sports activities, such as sprinting, weight lifting
and other anaerobic exercises, ATP is the energy system
used. Creatine increases energy of muscles by increasing
the amount of ATP. Creatine monohydrate is the most
effective nutritional supplement currently available
to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise
capacity and lean body mass during training.
L-Leucine
L-Leucine has many beneficial effects
on sports performance. It helps preserve lean muscle
tissue, it supplies the body with energy when under
stress (i.e. when engaging in athletic activity), it
preserves muscle glycogen (glucose stored in muscle
tissue used to power muscular contraction) and it maintains
nitrogen balance.
Valine and Iso Leucine
Valine is often used by bodybuilders,
(in conjunction with leucine and isoleucine) to promote
muscle growth, tissue repair and as an energizer. Isoleucine,
together with the other two branched-chain-amino-acids
promote muscle recovery after physical exercise and
on its own it is needed for the formation of hemoglobin
as well as assisting with regulation of blood sugar
levels as well as energy levels. It is also involved
in blood-clot formation.
ELECTROLYTES
1. Sodium Salt - The right amount of sodium is significant
for fitness and sportsperson. High salt (sodium) diets
have been linked to a number of health risks globally.
However, due to their increased activity and excessive
sweat production, sports people are actually at risk
of having too little sodium in their blood stream during
training and competition and may have special sodium
requirements. Because sodium is lost in sweat, it is
more important for individuals who exercise at high
intensity to get adequate sodium before, during and
after exercise. Adequate sodium balance is necessary
for transmitting nerve impulses and proper muscle function,
and even a slight depletion of this concentration can
cause problems.
2. Potassium Salt – Potassium plays a large role
in supporting our nervous system and natural heart rhythm.
Potassium stabilizes our blood pressure and helps in
electrochemical transmissions. It helps our cells absorb
nutrients and maintains a healthy pH and muscles contraction.
Potassium has been shown to prevent strokes and works
with sodium to maintain a proper water balance in our
bodies.
GLUCOSE (DEXTROSE) FOR ENERGY BURST
Better
known today as Glucose, Dextrose is the chief source
of energy in the body. Glucose (Dextrose) is chemically
considered a simple sugar. The body makes glucose from
all three elements of food, protein, fat and carbohydrates,
but in largest part from carbohydrates. Glucose serves
as the major source of energy for living cells. When
we consume dextrose, no digestion is required. Dextrose
goes directly into the bloodstream, therefore making
it the “fastest carbohydrate” It is identical
to the “blood sugar” produced by our bodies
and is transported by the blood directly to all organs
and cells in the body, including the brain.
Dextrose therefore provides Instant Energy.
PREBIOTIC
Fructo OligoSacchride (FOS) is a
prebiotic fiber.
It particularly stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria
& lactobacilli in the gut (stomach), improves digestion
and are recognized as health promoting bacteria. Prebiotic
fiber also exhibits a positive effect on the immune
system and helps in reduction of pathogenic bacteria
in the intestinal tract.
NO CHOLESTEROL
Cholesterol is a fat needed
by the body in moderate amounts. However, high cholesterol
levels can lead to atherosclerosis and coronary artery
disease (CAD) and heart attack. RiteBite Work-Outs Bar
is Zero in Cholesterol.
NO TRANS FAT
Hydrogenated Trans Fatty Acids (TFA’S)
form when liquid oil is converted into a solid fat,
for example when a vegetable oil is made into margarine
or shortening. TFA’S are usually found in processed
foods such as snack foods, fried foods, margarine (hydrogenated
fats). Trans Fat, like saturated fat and dietary cholesterol,
raises the LDL (bad) cholesterol that increases the
risk for Coronary Heart Disease.
RiteBite Work-Outs Bar is Zero in Trans Fatty Acids
(TFA’S)
