Each 44g gel provides 30g of carbohydrates and 140mg of sodium.
This formulation, based on "multi-transportable carbohydrates", has been shown in several studies to facilitate intestinal absorption via different transporters. This feature represents an effective mechanism for increasing the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates beyond 60g per hour.
Research confirms that combining carbohydrate sources such as maltodextrin and fructose is highly recommended.
DETAILS:
- MALTODEXTRIN
- Unlike glucose, it must be broken down, resulting in a more gradual and sustained source of energy.
- It has a high glycemic index, provoking a rapid rise in blood sugar levels without necessarily offering an excessively sweet taste, which could saturate this type of product.
- Being a carbohydrate chain, it has a high molecular weight, leading to a solution with a more restrained osmolarity, favoring digestion and reducing possible gastrointestinal side effects.
- FRUCTOSE
- Fructose is a monosaccharide, the simplest form in which carbohydrates are found. The use of the 1:0.8 ratio, based on the latest studies, maximizes the oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates compared to other proportions.
- The use of fructose in such a precise proportion is particularly recommended for athletes exceeding a carbohydrate intake of 60g/h.
- In this way, the combination of maltodextrin and fructose enables the digestion and assimilation of a large quantity of carbohydrates per hour, while minimizing the risk of gastric disorders.
