A FRUIT PASTE REDESIGNED THANKS TO YOUR ADVICE
You found the old version too sticky in its packaging and therefore not easy to eat while straining. So, concretely, how does Aptonia remedy this problem?
The brand added two stabilizing ingredients to the recipe:
- citric acid (present in lemon),
- and sodium citrate obtained from the latter.
Verdict? Lesos 50 testers validated it with a full mouth, both in terms of taste and its melting texture ... and non-sticky!
A LOCAL PRODUCT, AS WE LOVE THEM
Are you not curious to know where the fruit paste that accompanies you during your race is made? Okay, if you insist! To be honest, she was born in a small southern factory, "the partner for fifteen years", says Juliette, nutrition engineer.
WHY IS THERE APPLE OR PEAR IN YOUR FRUIT PASTE?
This is an existential question, especially when the scent you've chosen is called citrus, or strawberry-cranberry. Don't panic, this is not some strange mixture concocted by Gertrude, aka the-lady-of-the-canteen. No, the apple and the pear are just the two basic fruits in the recipe. They are chosen from the orchards by a southern supplier that we told you about just before.
A PRODUCT DESIGNED FOR ENDURANCE EFFORTS
60g of carbohydrates (= sugars) per hour of sport performed, this is what nutritionists recommend for efforts greater than 3 hours. For this 25g fruit paste, there are 21g of carbohydrates, including 16g of simple sugars (the ones that give you a boost). Aptonia therefore advises you to bite into your first bar after 30 minutes of activity, i.e. two per hour (or one + one gel / one bar), and in addition to an isotonic drink.
TOO EASY TO OPEN AND CLOSE!
Gone are the days of painfully tearing plastic off with your teeth (and chewing on some of it in the process ...). Gone are the days when you were doomed to choose between eating it all at once, or stuffing the rest in the limbo of your pockets.
Thanks to the adhesive strip, opening is easy and smooth. As for the closure, it protects your precious sesame until the next bite!
AND IN FACT, WHAT ARE ALL THESE INGREDIENTS USED FOR?
? Sugar and maltodextrin for energy.
? Glucose syrup for texture.
? Glycerol for texture and stability.
? Pectin for texture. It is a gelling agent used in jams and naturally present in fruits.
? Acerola powder, a super fruit, for vitamin C and minerals!
? Vitamins B1, B3, and B6 for reducing fatigue: a smile in the photos matters!

ON THE ROAD TOWARDS THE SPORTS NUTRITION OF THE FUTURE: ECO-RESPONSIBLE AND EVEN MORE TASTY
Aube, ingredients engineer:
?Aptonia takes part in the choice of ingredients and goes well beyond regulatory requirements. By gradually eliminating additives as far as possible. In Aptonia, the process for selecting ingredients and additives, Aptonia is interested
to ethical, environmental and health issues. The brand is also keen to simplify recipes and is moving in this direction, little by little. ?.
