Cyclone Bars ®
23g of protein per bar 5g of creatine per bar 2g of glutamine per bar 1.5g of HMB® per bar
THE POWER OF PROTEIN Each 60g Cyclone bar contains 23g of protein, provided from a blend of whey protein concentrate and milk protein isolate. Protein isolate is a pure form of protein that has had virtually all fat, lactose and other impurities removed to make it faster acting. It is rapidly digested by the body which allows for the fast uptake of amino acids stimulating growth and repair of the tissue. Hydrolysed protein is produced by treating the protein with enzymes that split peptide bonds from the protein structure. These peptide fractions are absorbed faster and reach muscle cell sites quicker than other protein sources creating a fast acting protein for improved muscle recovery and growth. Protein concentrate has similar function to both isolated and hydrolysed proteins, but has a lower biological value and is digested over a longer time frame, giving the muscles a steady delivery of amino acids for growth and recovery.
The UK’s No.1 ‘all in one’ muscle growth bar Cyclone is the ultimate ‘all in one’ product designed for building muscle and supporting power, strength and performance. As an alternative to the Cyclone shake, Cyclone bars provide the same muscle building ingredients in a convenient format, ideal for putting in your gym bag or enjoying as a snack on the move. Each bar is 218 kcals, packed with 23g of protein and 5g of creatine, just what you need after a hard workout to maximise your recovery.
Similar to the Cyclone powder, Cyclone bars are a convenient way for gym goes take advantage of the muscle building ingredients but in this case without the hassle of making a shake and often a preferred option for those that want a food option after training.
CREATINE Creatine is a derivative from three amino acids (arginine, glycine and methionine) and is stored in skeletal muscle (approximately 95%). Creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective ergogenic aid used in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity. Creatine supplementation provides support for high intensity repeated bout exercises by a rapid replenishment of the immediate energy source, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Buford et al., 2007). Essentially, supplementation has been shown to allow exercisers to increase work output, whether that be high intensity repeated sprints or repetitions of a heavy weight.

GLUTAMINE Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and has recently become regarded as conditionally essential rather than a non-essential amino acid (Newsholme et al., 2011). It is commonly found in high protein foods such as meats and fish, and is used in the body for cell growth and fuelling the immune system. During periods of heavy training, glutamine levels fall in the body which can suppress the immune system and increases the risk of infection (Castell et al, 1996).
HMB HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and is naturally produced in humans. HMB increases the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle following high intensity or prolonged exercise (Nissen et al., 1996). HMB supplementation has been shown to result in a positive balance of skeletal muscle protein turnover though stimulation of protein synthesis and decrease of protein degradation. Moreover, HMB promotes skeletal muscle satellite cell activation and potentially increases skeletal muscle regenerative capacity (Wilson et al., 2013).
FIBRE There are two different forms of fibre - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre, found in foods such as oats, fruits and root vegetables, helps the human body to absorb nutrients and good elements from food. Insoluble fibre, found in foods such as, wholemeal bread, bran and cereals, helps the body to move the waste and harmful materials from the digestive tract. Insoluble fibre also absorbs water, expanding your digestive tract and filling your stomach, increasing the feeling of satiety. Each Cyclone bar contains 4.8g of fibre, the majority of which is derived from Fructooligosacchrides (FOS) a soluble fibre from plant sources.
RECOMMENDED USE Enjoy as part of a well balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Consume up to 2 bars per day.
