Carbohydrates are, in addition to proteins, fats and vitamins, the basic nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Their primary task is to provide the body with energy needed for life processes. Physically active people show an increased demand not only for protein, which is the building block of muscles, but above all for carbohydrates. Training is an intensive work of muscles, during which cells need much more energy than during rest or normal functioning.
How do carbo supplements work?
Carbohydrates are the basic substrate of energy changes in cells, therefore the main task of carbohydrate preparations is to provide energy needed during exercise. There are two types of saccharides: simple sugars (e.g. glucose, galactose, fructose, ribose) and complex sugars, which are divided into polysaccharides (starch, fiber, gluten) and oligosaccharides (sucrose, lactose).
The first ones act as an energetic injection, causing a sudden burst of insulin. The same mechanism occurs with supplements containing simple sugars, which are an easily available source of energy. Unfortunately, their consumption is associated with an equally rapid decrease in energy. The second are complex molecules that must be digested into simple sugars, so they provide energy for longer. The most common carbo preparations are mixtures of both types of saccharides. Energy is stored in the body in the form of glycogen - found in muscles and the liver. However, the stocks are not large, and intensive effort consumes them in just a few moments.
Which carbohydrate preparations should you choose?
A wide range of carbo supplements allows you to adjust supplementation to the needs and goals of your body shape. Manufacturers offer various mixtures with a wide spectrum of action, e.g. a double-action complex carbohydrate hydro-isolate - when used before training, it increases insulin secretion, protecting muscles against negative exercise catabolism, while taken during and after training, it adds energy and replenishes glycogen reserves.
Other carbo supplements are based on dextrose supplementing glycogen and stimulating the production of anabolic insulin, in addition to its stimulating properties, taurine supports the action of carbohydrates, protects muscles against negative catabolism, supports the transport of creatine to muscle cells and has a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system.
How to combine carbons with other supplements?
Few athletes are restricted to using just one type of dietary supplement - carbs are no exception. They are often combined with protein, pre-workouts or fat burners. Carbo Boost is a blend of simple and complex carbohydrates - destrose and starch. This combination allows you to provide the body with portions of readily available sugars, which will quickly provide an energy boost, and at the same time maintain its high level for a long time. Carbo Boost are carbons that, thanks to the possibility of combining them with other nutrients, will work well for almost everyone athlete. When taken in combination with BCAA before training, they will help build muscle mass, increase endurance and have a positive effect on post-workout regeneration; while combining carbo with creatine after training additionally enhances the development and regeneration of muscle tissue.
