Caffeine doesn't give you energy, and sugar spikes you then drops you on the back nine. There's a simpler two-product routine that supports steady energy through the round and faster recovery after. Made in Durban.
It's Sam from Bare. If you play golf, this one's for you.
You start well. Swing feels good, putting's on, you're enjoying the round. Then somewhere after the turn it shifts — energy dips, focus drifts, the easy shots get harder. Most golfers reach for a Red Bull, a coffee, or whatever's in the halfway house.
The problem is, those aren't fuel. They're a short-lived spike followed by a crash — usually right when you need to stay sharp.
Caffeine is a stimulant — it can make you feel alert for a while, but it doesn't actually supply your muscles with energy. Sugary drinks and chocolate bars give you a quick rush, then the blood-sugar drop that follows leaves you flatter than before.
Pile on a heavy, greasy snack at the halfway house and you add bloat to the mix — not what you want over the back nine, especially as an older golfer when energy and recovery already take more effort.
A round is four to five hours of walking, concentration and 70-plus explosive swings. That's a real fuelling job — and it deserves better than a can and a chocolate bar.
"Caffeine doesn't give you energy. Sugar spikes you, then drops you — usually right on the back nine." — Sam · Founder, Bare
A simple stack for the two halves of the problem: clean, sustained energy during the round, and faster recovery after it.
A pea-starch carb powder you mix into your water bottle. It absorbs fast through the stomach so there's no bloat, then releases slowly in the gut for sustained energy — no sugar spike, no crash. Sip it through the round to keep your energy steady from the 1st to the 18th.
A leucine-enriched essential amino acid blend with all 9 EAAs and 2g of leucine per serve. Around 20 calories, no bloat, and absorbs in roughly 15 minutes. Helps with fatigue during the round and supports muscle recovery between them. Now in handy travel sachets — one per round.
The numbers behind a steadier back nine and an easier recovery.
Per serve of Bare Aminos — the amino that supports muscle recovery
Free-form aminos absorb fast — no long digestion before they're working
Pure Carb Fuel is a slow-release pea starch — steady energy, no crash
Light on calories, no bloat — easy to carry through a round
Two minutes of prep before the round — then sip and recover.
Add a scoop of Pure Carb Fuel to your water bottle before you tee off. Sip steadily through the round to support energy that lasts past the turn.
Take a Bare Aminos sachet around the 9th — in water or your bottle. It absorbs quickly and supports you through the back nine and into recovery.
A second amino serve after the round supports muscle recovery — so you're not stiff and heavy the next time you play.

I mix Carb Fuel into my water bottle from the second hole and the difference on the back nine is noticeable. I'm not grinding through the last four anymore and my concentration stays sharp.
I play Saturdays and Sundays. Used to feel wrecked by Sunday — back seized up, legs heavy. Since adding Bare Aminos after the round I'm walking off the 18th feeling like I could play another nine.
I used to live on Red Bulls and a chocolate at the turn. Swapped to the carb fuel in my bottle and the aminos and I'm steadier all the way round. No bloat, no slump.
