Jesús Sánchez discovered sports nutrition at age 13, with his first book on the subject. Later, he had to abandon the most important race of his season, the Home de Ferro in Ibiza, one of the first 226 km triathlons in Spain. The following summer, he launched 226ERS in a 12 m² office in the basement of his home, with three initial products. Today, the brand has more than 150.
226ERS aims to reduce or eliminate sugar whenever possible, avoid using palm oil for environmental reasons, and offer gluten-free or vegan products.
Its Salty Trail bars are a good option for trail running. For another Spanish brand with high doses, compare it with Santa Madre.
