Description
Composition
This product contains Maltodextrin (polymer formed by glucose).
What is it for
In this way, maintaining the body's carbohydrate deposits in an adequate state, is very important for optimizing endurance exercise performance and, therefore, it is common for athletes to consume carbohydrates before, during and after this sport practice.
In this way, consuming carbohydrates during sports practice increases exercise performance and allows the time to exhaustion to be prolonged. On the other hand, we can differentiate carbohydrates based on their absorption speed, so that we find fast absorption and slow absorption. According to scientific evidence, the majority of carbohydrates that must be provided during resistance exercise must come from fast-absorbing carbohydrates., where we find maltodextrin, whose usage can be up to 60g/h or 1g/min.
This type of carbohydrate with a high glycemic index is very important in the practice of resistance exercise due to its ability to increase blood glucose rapidly after ingestion, which will facilitate the replenishment of glycogen stores after training and , during the practice of this, allows to maintain blood glucose during long-term exercises, avoiding the appearance of fatigue.
Maltodextrin is an oligosaccharide composed of glucose polymers and obtained by the partial hydrolysis of corn starch., potato, wheat or rye.The particularity of maltodextrin stands out in that, despite being a complex carbohydrate, has a lower osmolarity than simple carbohydrates, which speeds up gastric emptying, thus reducing the problems that simple ones can cause. On the other hand, it has high solubility and low sweetening power.
On the other hand, it is important to know that the fact of using different types of carbohydrates It will allow us to facilitate gastric emptying and the absorption of liquids by using different transport routes in the body, which is essential in prolonged exercises, so that maltodextrin becomes a very useful and practical option to combine with others with fructose , slowly absorbed, in a ratio of approximately 2:1, and thus optimize the use of carbohydrates as an energy substrate to improve performance during prolonged exercise.
Benefits:
- Contribution of carbohydrates.
- It facilitates gastric emptying and the absorption of liquids.
- Better digestion compared to other carbohydrates.
- Low sweetening power.
- Quick energy gain during exercise.
What dose to consume?
Adjust the dose to your daily energy and nutritional needs. However, the consumption of 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates during exercise has been shown to have an ergogenic effect in sports of medium and long duration.
