HISTORY
The brand history begins in 1927 with the introduction of the glucose powder "Dextrose Purum". Doctors prescribe the product and pharmacies dispense it by prescription. In 1929 this nutrient sugar is given the name "Dextropur", which it is still called to this day. In 1935, the compressed dextrose powder is launched in cube form under the brand name "Dextro Energen".
This classic is the official competition food for athletes at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936 and Munich in 1972. New items are added to the range over the following years in the form of sticks, minis and bars, as well as a comprehensive selection of nutrition products for endurance and fitness sports.
In 2002, following the growing internationalization of the business, Dextro Energen becomes Dextro Energy*.
