What is it? BULK NUTRIENTS CARB PLUS is multi-stage time released carbohydrate powder, great for those looking to add some extra calories to the diet or have more energy to power through exercise.
Who Should take it? People looking to add some extra calories throughout the day could add CARB PLUS to their protein shakes at breakfast, mid-morning, mid-afternoon or post-workout. Personally, I add Carb Plus to my pre-workout and intra-workout drinks to get a better pump and more energy during a weights session.
What does it do? BULK NUTRIENTS CARB PLUS is a blend of 3 different carbohydrates sources that offer a sustained release of glucose into the blood.
- Dextrose: also called D-Glucose is the fastest absorbing form of carbohydrate and starts hitting the bloodstream only minutes after being ingested.
- Maltodextrin: is the next fastest absorbing carbohydrate. It is broken down to glucose in the stomach and intestine before being absorbed and shuttled off to the muscles.
- Isomaltulose: It is naturally present in honey and sugarcane extracts and is basically a glucose molecule bonded to a fructose molecule. Due to the nature of the bond however, Isomatullose gets absorbed 4 times slower than sugar which makes it a nice addition to this time released carbohydrate formula.
Overall this combination is better for digestion and loading the muscles with glycogen than taking any one of these carbohydrate formulas by themselves.
How do I take it? This is a very versatile product. One to Two scoops BULK NUTRIENTS CARB PLUS before, during or after exercise sessions or can be used throughout the day for morning and afternoon tea to increase calories.
