Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are your body’s main source of energy, especially during times of high physical exertion. Your body typically stores about 200g of carbohydrates which is used to fuel your muscles during training, games, and other activities. It is important to replenish these carbohydrate stores after an active session to ensure peak performance in subsequent events. In fact, performance (strength, speed, even concentration) can great suffer if your carbohydrate levels fall too low during your activities. A great time to take carbohydrate powders is in combination with protein powders after a training session or game. The carbohydrate powder will not only replenish your carbohydrate storage levels, but also manipulate various hormones to not only stop muscle breakdown, but actually increase muscle recovery and aid in protein uptake and utilisation.
