WA PERFORMANCE BARS are classified as nutrient bars, rather than the more common food bars. Nutrient bars are held to higher standards than food bars. Some examples: WA PERFORMANCE BARS use organic Agave Syrup for their natural sweetener and serves as a great source for energy.....Food bars use brown rice starch or brown rice syrup which is much lower in energy and is a bi-product of cooked rice. WA Performance Bars use pharmaceutical grade vitamins and minerals insuring maximum absorption and utilization... Food bars are allowed to use lesser grade vitamins and minerals source. WA PERFORMANCE BARS use unique organic agave syrup which contains naturally nutritious monosaccharide and complex carbohydrates for quick gastric emptying with immediate and sustained energy. WA uses an organic peanut butter which is high in monounsaturated fats for a healthy, long-acting energy source.

WA uses premium whey protein isolates for superior amino acid profiles and easy digestibility. Oxygen enhancers are included to increase oxygen uptake and utilization thereby assisting in cellular energy production. This is a unique feature of WA, not found in any other bar in the marketplace.

WA Energy Bars are a complete meal fortified with pharmaceutical grade vitamins and minerals to ensure maximum metabolic function. They work great as a quick “pick-me up” or as a meal replacement for those “on the run”. Each bar contains a complete array of nutrients needed for human physiology.

For added nutritional and consumer value, every WA Energy Bar has a full 1000 mg of the natural anti-inflammatory nutrient glucosamine. Glucosamine helps hold moisture in joints and is involved in the production and maintenance of cartilage. This makes for smooth movement of joints and helps reduce friction in these tissues that could otherwise cause inflammation, swelling and stiffness.

Antioxidant nutrients, provided by Oolong Tea extract, Vitamin C, natural Vitamin E, and beta-carotene, help protect the body from free-radical damage induced from prolonged physical activity.

With the best quality whey protein containing key amino acids for muscle integrity and immune function, and 240 gluten-free calories to fuel outdoor activities, the Wilderness Athlete PERFORMANCE Bar is the healthiest and most convenient way to get what your body needs. It “Gets you to the Game and Keeps you in the Game.”

Wilderness Athlete Performance Bars, in the custom gold foil wrapper are available in four flavors, Mountain Berry Granola, Chocolate Almond Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch and Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl. The eye-catching design gives Wilderness Athlete a more dramatic appearance and ties the family of products together.

I had a great hunt in Colorado for deer. We ended up packing back in 7 miles and bivvy-ing out in November at 10,000 feet. A bit risky but you have to do what you have to do for big bucks. I am sure you know what I mean. This hunt was the real deal…all on our backs. No horses, no ATVs and no packers, just us and our Wilderness Athlete products to keep us going. Thank you WA!
