Do Promax Energy Bars contain a beneficial amount of protein?
A. Yes. Promax Energy Bars contain 20g of high quality protein per bar. This is the equivalent grams of protein to eating 3 large eggs (21g protein), two cups of low-fat milk (22g protein) and 4 oz of canned tuna (20g protein). It is about 40% of the recommended daily intake of protein (based on FDA guidelines). Protein comes from the Greek word meaning “of prime importance.” Protein contains amino acids that are the building blocks of every structure in our body including skin, hair, nails, muscle tissue, hormones and the immune system. Nine of these amino acids are classified as essential, meaning they cannot be manufactured by our bodies and must come from food. The protein in Promax Energy bars helps the body recover after exercise, form new tissue and regulate key body functions.
