Fitness Labs High Performance Carbs is the ideal stimulant-free complex carbohydrate energy source for boosting your performance in the gym, for competitive events, for endurance activities, or use it as a component of a muscle-building program.

What it is: The only ingredient in High Performance Carbs is a special form of maltodextrin (from corn) containing medium-length glucose polymers. these complex carbs are more readily absorbed by the body and easier to digest compared to many carbs found in food. This makes it perfect for before, during and after exercise when you don't want to feel weighed down.

How it works: These complex carbs give you a competitive edge since they promote glycogen synthesis, the process that replenishes glycogen (carbohydrate stores) in the muscle and liver. Glycogen is the body's most important fuel during intense exercise. The more glycogen available to your muscles, the longer and harder you can compete or train before fatigue sets in. Depleted glycogen levels lead to exhaustion, poor performance and impaired recovery for your next event. Use High Performance Carbs to easily and efficiently replenish depleted glycogen stores, fuel hardworking muscles and restore energy levels.

Use pre-workout: Load your muscles the night before a strenuous workout or event. Then, before the workout, make a pre-workout drink by combining 10g of whey protein or 6g of branched chain amino acids with 20-40g of High Performance Carbs.

Sipping a drink containing High Performance Carbs during workouts can also help your body release insulin, which in turn blunts the effect of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol is your muscle's enemy since it tears down muscle and converts it to fuel. One study showed the normal increase in cortisol levels from exercise was reduced by 65% when athletes were give a 6% carbohydrate solution during exercise compared to those drinking water.*

Use post-workout: Another critical time to consume a carb/protein drink is immediately after a workout. Studies show you can increase glucose uptake and protein synthesis over 250% compared to waiting just a few hours.* This post-workout drink should contain at least 15g of whey protein and 1 to 4 times that amount in High Performance Carbs (15-60g). Mix in water or juice. Avoid using milk or more than 6g of fat in this post-workout drink since milk and fats slow digestion.

Carb replenishment rate: To determine the amount of carbs burned during exercise to replenish, use the following guidelines:

  • Light Exercise (Walking) - 1g/min (60g.hr) of Carbs Burned
  • Moderate Exercise (Sports/Weightlifting) - 2g/min (120g.hr) of Carbs Burned
  • Heavy Exercise (Fast Running) - 3g/min (180g/hr) of Carbs Burned

High Performance Carbs mixes easily into any liquid and is virtually tasteless. No flavors, sweeteners, colors or preservatives have been added. It's versatile - you determine exactly how many grams of carbs you need. And it's economical - about one-third the cost of sugary sports drinks when comparing the cost per gram of carbs.

Fuel your body with premium energy fuel from High Performance Carbs and boost your performance to new heights!

Directions For Use
Add 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) into 12 ounces of your beverage of choice. Vary your carb intake depending on your needs by increasing or decreasing the serving size. Each tablespoon = 5g of carbs.

When to Use:

  • Before Exercise: Use 1 - 2 servings 1 hour before workout. For competition, use additional servings the evening before and 4 hours prior to event.
  • During Exercise: Add 1 - 2 servings to 12-24 ounces of water and mix into a sports bottle (6% carb solution). Drink over a 1-hour period.
  • After Exercise: Consume 1 - 3 servings (based on workout intensity) mixed in water within 30 minutes of workout. Combine with at least 15g of protein from whey (WheyFit). This provides a carb-to-protein ratio of 20-60g of carbs to 15g of protein.
  • With Meals: Add to beverages or foods to increase their carbohydrate content.
  • With Protein: Take with protein to help increase the body's uptake of amino acids.
