Maltodextrin - carbohydrates obtained from the controlled and partial hydrolysis of corn starch, rice or potatoes. Maltodextrins can be considered as oligosaccharide chains consisting of different glucose units, bound by alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Like the other complex carbohydrates found in nature, the digestion of these molecules begins in the mouth by salivary amylase, and is completed in the small intestine with the action of pancreatic amylase. The free glucose molecules that originate are then absorbed by the apical membrane of the enterocytes and from here they are introduced into the circulatory stream, where they can be used by the body according to the metabolic-nutritional requirements. The digestion times of maltodextrins vary depending on the structure and complexity, therefore based on the number of monosaccharide units that compose them. To standardize the classification we used the word Dextrose Equivalence, defining maltodextrins with high ED as those with faster digestion and absorption, and maltodextrins with low ED as those with slower and gradual absorption.

The presence of a different complexity, of a different glycemic and insulinemic response, allows the sportsman to be able to use the maltodextrins based on what are the nutritional and energy needs, and the related objective.

Carbohydrates of various kinds and maltodextrins in particular, can be used by sportsmen in the pre-training phase, in order to recharge the reserves of muscle glycogen, during training to support the performance, before a sprint or a ceiling, in the phase recovery to stimulate glycogen resynthesis and protein synthesis, or in the form of iso or hypotonic drinks to facilitate rehydration.

Isomaltulose - disaccharide consisting of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule, associated with each other by an alpha 1-6 glycosidic bond. This link defines the typical chemical-physical and digestive properties of isomaltulose. Like its own relative sucrose, it is digested and broken down into its monosaccharidic forms, glucose and fructose, but with extended times. The increase in digestion times allows a gradual release and absorption of the two sugars, with a better balance of the glycemic and insulinemic curve and a prolonged availability of energy.

Compared to other sugars, it has also proved to be well tolerated even at high concentrations in healthy individuals, diabetic patients and those with cardiovascular problems.

Studies carried out on the consumption of isomaltulose during physical activity have shown that the gradual release of the two monosaccharides, optimizing the insulin response, can facilitate the oxidation of fatty acids compared to what sucrose is able to do.

Rationale - Carbo BOOSTER - ULTIMATE NUTRITION

Although supplementation with carbohydrate-based supplements may be effective, it must be considered that only a correct supplementary protocol can ensure the achievement of the set objectives. A classic example is the absence of ergogenic effects, following supplementation with carbohydrates of various kinds, in a well-fed organism, in which the reserves of muscle and liver glycogen are now saturated. It is also very important to choose the right type of maltodextrin in the supplementary protocol; in fact, it would be a serious mistake, for example, to take a high DE load of maltodextrin before an endurance performance, risking the subsequent reactive hypoglycemia with a decrease in muscular ergogenic abilities and athletic performance.

The integration with maltodextrin is therefore able to:

  1. Support muscle energy capabilities;
  2. Avoid muscle and amino acid catabolism;
  3. Improve athletic performance;
  4. Support the anabolic phase;

provided that this is carried out with scientific and rational criteria.

Recommended use by the company - Carbo BOOSTER - ULTIMATE NUTRITION

For an ideal energy intake, take 2 scoops (75 grams) dissolved in half a liter of water during physical activity.

Use in sports - Carbo BOOSTER - ULTIMATE NUTRITION

In light of what has been said in the Rational section, it appears clear that a standardized intake of this supplement does not exist, although it is recommended to supplement with 30 grams of maltodextrin for every hour of competition exceeded 90 '.

With a view to effective supplementation, it is indeed necessary to adjust the dosage of maltodextrins based on:

  1. Nutritional condition;
  2. Type of training;
  3. Duration and intensity of training;
  4. Goal to reach.

Instead it is necessary to consider the opportunity to prepare aqueous solutions of maltodextrin concentrated between 6% and 10%, in order to avoid the massive entry of water into the intestinal lumen (avoiding diarrhea and dehydration) and facilitate the absorption process.

Synergies

Maltodextrin + proteins: in the recovery phase, it could be useful in improving the anabolic window.

Maltodextrin + mineral salts: fundamental for the reintegration of salt water, if formulated in a hypo and isotonic drink.

Maltodextrin + arginine: it strongly enhances glycogen synthesis compared to maltodextrins only;

Maltodextrin + fructose: improves muscle oxidation of ingested carbohydrates compared to the administration of maltodextrin alone;

Maltodextrin + amino acids: before training, it significantly reduces muscle damage, supporting performance and reducing plasma levels of cratinkinase.

Maltodextrin + antioxidants: they can reduce the oxidative damage induced by intense physical exercise.

Side Effects Carbo BOOSTER - ULTIMATE NUTRITION

The side effects that may occur following the incorrect administration of maltodextrins can be short or long term.

In the short term, problems can usually occur in the gastrointestinal tract, with abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

The long-term effects, on the other hand, could be compared to those obtainable with excessive nutrition, rich in simple carbohydrates (overweight, obesity and related pathologies).

Precautions for use Carbo BOOSTER - ULTIMATE NUTRITION

The product is contraindicated in cases of renal or hepatic disease, cardiovascular disease and / or hypertension, during pregnancy, during lactation and under 14 years.
