Carb Loader

EAS Carb Loader is a high concentrate carbohydrate drink mix which is specifically designed for carbohydrate/glycogen loading.

Carbohydrate loading or glycogen loading is a sport physiological-nutrition term for 'charging' the muscle with carbs (glycogen). By raising the overall carbohydrate consumption in food, over the last 2-3 days prior to competition by 400-600g (depending on body weight), the body will maximise the storage/loading of glycogen into the muscles and also the liver.

To consume these amounts of carbs the average person would have to eat roughly 4.5kg of potatoes or 2-2.5kg of pasta per day! Proper glycogen loading is vital, as during training or in competitions, you not only lose fluids but also use your glycogen stock. A reduction in glycogen stock can reduce performance by up to 50%.

Summary of benefits:

- 50% Vitargo - a patented long chain glucose polymer
- Contains vitamin B1, magnesium and potassium - the key nutrients for carbohydrate metabolism
- Taurine to aid in the insulin/carbohydrate transport system
- Specifically designed with carbohydrate/glycogen loading in mind

Recommended Use:

Mix 4 scoops or 6 teaspoons (50g) with 400ml of cold juice, water, skimmed milk or blend with your favourite nutrition shake. On non-competition days consume 1-2 servings daily, depending on how many carbs are needed in the diet. For best endurance results (e.g. on competition day) use 2-4 servings daily and start the carb loading phase two days prior to competition. In general, consume 1 serving immediately following endurance exercise.

Each tub of EAS Carb Loader contains 750g and makes 15 servings.
