Sports nutrition: essential for cyclists and mountain bikers

In cycling, sports nutrition has played a key role in optimising performance and ensuring good recovery for decades. Cyclists are the biggest consumers of energy bars, energy gels, energy compotes and effort or hydration drinks. Whether on a road bike or a mountain bike, a well thought-out diet before, during and after exercise can make the difference between a successful ride and a bout of fatigue that's hard to overcome. Find out herebelow why sports nutrition is crucial for cyclists and mountain bikers and how Mulebar is positioned as the best brand to meet their nutritional needs.

Why is nutrition essential in cycling?

During an intense effort such as road cycling or mountain biking, the body expends an enormous amount of energy. To support this energy expenditure, it is essential to provide the necessary nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, electrolytes and vitamins. Good nutrition not only helps maintain endurance, but also prevents cramps, muscle fatigue and sluggishness. Carbohydrates are particularly important, as they provide the rapid energy that muscles need during exercise.

Mulebar: a comprehensive range for cyclists' needs

Mulebar is a brand specialized in sports nutrition since 2008, designed for demanding athletes, especially cyclists. It offers a wide range of natural and eco-friendly products to meet the needs of road cyclists, triathletes, and mountain bikers, whether for performance or recovery.

• Energy Bars: Rich in carbohydrates and made from 100% natural ingredients, Mulebar energy bars are perfect for providing sustained energy. They are soft, easy to chew even during intense effort, and ideal for energy supply before or during activity. For a protein intake during or after exercise, our vegan protein bars will delight you.
• Energy Gels: Mulebar gels are very fluid as they are designed for rapid absorption. They provide an immediate carbohydrate boost to avoid the feeling of "bonking" during long lasting efforts or just before a climb. The resealable and reusable tubes and eco-refills help reduce single-use plastic consumption and litter along roads and trails.
• Energy Compotes: With their light texture and natural taste, Mulebar energy compotes are a practical alternative to gels, slightly more filling, very creamy, and fruitier.
• Drinks: Mulebar hydration drinks help you stay hydrated and compensate for electrolyte loss, thus preventing cramps and fatigue. Isotonic endurance drinks also compensate for mineral losses but are primarily intended to provide a quick carbohydrate boost.
