Post links to supplements with their nutrition info

If you post a link to a supplement with its nutrition information I will look at it and let you know what I think. Some things to keep in mind: Whether a supplement is "good" or "bad" depends not only on how natural the ingredients are, how the ingredients were processed, or how balanced the calories are, but also what the GOALS of its use are. An energy bar used during or right after training should be high in glucose, such as rolled oats. An energy bar used as a snack at other times of the day should be low in sugar and a bit higher in fat and protein than a bar used during training or the recovery window. This is also true for meal replacement powders and other supplements. Think about what is in the product and what all of your goals are.

Clyde,
I am training for an Ironman and have been eating Clif Shot Blocks on my long runs and rides instead of powerbar gels. I was wondering if they are good for endurance training. The ingredients dont sound like what you recomend? The ingredients in order are Organic brown rice syrup, organic evaporated cane juice, organic brown rice syrup solids, pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, colored with black carrot juice concentrate, organic sunflower oil, carnauba wax,.

Here is the link to the nutritional web site. http://www.clifbar.com/food/products_shot_bloks/
