1800g powder: CARBOCHARGE formula for improved recovery, phased energy replenishment and rehydration (chocolate flavour)
CARBO LOADER is specially designed for the last 1-2 days before endurance competitions (e.g., Motocross, cycling, running, triathlon, cross-country skiing, trail running) but can also be used to promote recovery, for example, in training camps or the day after a competition.
It includes...
- an incremental release carbohydrate blend (maltodextrin, dextrose, hydrolysed waxy maize starch)
- a protein mix (micellar casein, hydrolysed whey protein, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate and calcium caseinate)
- a flexy combination (hydrolysed collagen, glucosamine hydrochloride and vitamin C)
- a glutamine blend (glutamine peptides and L-Glutamine)
- creatine monohydrate
- BCAA 2:1:1 (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine)
- vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.
Why use this supplement?
When exercising, our bodies lose not only water, but also important minerals (electrolytes) such as potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and sodium. This can lead to muscle cramp and fatigue.
Post Workout has been specially formulated to include specific minerals to counteract this, with science-backed results (and EFSA approved health claims - see below). For example:
The minerals
- magnesium and iron contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- calcium and phosphorus contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- and chloride contributes to normal digestion by the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
The vitamins
- niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- thiamin and biotin contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- riboflavin contributes to normal iron metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- vitamin A contributes to normal iron metabolism
- and vitamin D contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, as well as normal muscle function.
In addition, it helps to replenish the body's glycogen levels during the post workout stage, which both stop muscles from breaking down and also helps to actively repair and re-build them.
