Now you can boost body and mind with the world's first energy bars to feature caffeine and taurine

Welcome to willbar.com - home of the the Will Bar, the world's first Body & Mind Boosting energy bar! Whether you're an Olympic athlete out to medal, sports enthusiast, business profesional or a busy mum running "Life's Daily Marathon", Will Bars have been made for you! Important: Enjoy!

The inspiration for the Will Bars came to Will King, CEO and founder of UK's top shaving brand King of Shaves in 2004, when he was travelling extensively in the USA, and snacking fat, not fit. "Why not have a great tasting bar which kept you going mentally as well as physically" was his initial thought. A sort of combination choco-cocoa / oats / flapjack-style bar with Red Bull in it..." he thought (as he drank yet another).

And so, after a year of taste testing (and testing and testing and testing...!!!) and then trialing with extreme sports enthusiasts (White Air 2005) and Olympic athletes Shelley Rudman (Winter Olympic 2006 silver medalist) and Kristan Bromley (World Champion 2004, European Champion 2004 and 2005, 6x British Champion) - pictured to the right), the Will Bar was launched, with the tagline, "Where There's A Will Bar There's A Way!"

Coco-a-Go-Got

Coco-a-Go-Go is enhanced with Caffeine and Taurine (think Red Bull in a bar) making it ideal for overcoming those mid-afternoon slowdowns, just before going out kite surfing or starting that long drive back from the coast to the city. Late night XBox and Playstation gamers also love them – they're ideal energy boosters for those long lasting Halo 3 missions!

Acting as an an antioxidant, Taurine has been shown to promote detoxification by accelerating the excretion of harmful substances from the body by binding together with them. And according to recent studies carried out in the the USA, by indirectly allowing for greater blood flow, Taurine results in greater oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body.

Well known for its beneficial effects on mental and physical functions, (it has been proven to improve e.g. reaction speed, alertness and concentration), Caffeine also helps to use fat stores in the body, resulting in a more efficient supply of energy.

Will Bars are the brainwave of King of Shaves founder, Will King (pictured right – always on the Go Go Go!). Having used his surname up in shaving with leading British brand, King of Shaves, King turned to exploiting his first name. "I blame my parents" he jokes, adding "where there's a Will King, there had to be a way!"

Bringing Will Bars to market has been a massive team effort, and helping develop the 'Serious but Fun Will Way' has been legendary adult snack entrepreneur, Ray McGhee, co-founder of Phileas Fogg and Janno Williams-Roberts, the Will Bar Managing Director.
