Carb-Loader is a high concentrated, juicy orange flavour, carbohydrate
drink mix for carbohydrate/glycogen loading.
Carbohydrate loading or glycogen loading is a sport physiological-nutritional
term for “charging” your muscle with carbs (=glycogen). By
raising your overall carbohydrate consumption in your food, over the last
2-3 days prior to competition by 400-600 grams (depending on body weight),
your body will maximize the storage/loading of carbs into your muscle
and also liver glycogen. To consume these amounts of carbs, you would
normally have to eat approx. 4-5kg of potatoes or 1.5-2.5kg of pasta per
day – Bon Appetite! A proper glycogen loading is vital, as during
work outs or competitions, you not only loose fluids (see ISO-Drive) but
also use your glycogen stock. A reduction of your glycogen stock can reduce
your performance right up to 50%! Therefore a proper “carb preparation”
can and will prevent a negative impact on your performance.
The synthesis of muscle glycogen is most rapidly right away after exercise,
as the low level of residual muscle glycogen stimulates a new glycogen
storage. This will help your body to recuperate faster from your last
exercise and refuel it for the next one. This is very important for events
which last more then a few hours or days. Therefore a break of 1 hour
between single competitions or runs should be used to its carb-maximum.
VITARGO (50%) and a unique maltodextrin blend have a minimal influence
on the gastric emptying time. This means that more carbs can pass into
your system and load, re-load your depleted muscle. Every day, during
competition breaks and after regular training. Carb-Loader is not only
a high carbohydrate product, but of course delivers the key nutrients
for the carb-metabolism such as Vitamin B1, Magnesium, Potassium, which
together with taurine (helps insulin) ensure the metabolic conversion.
