Carbohydrates Sport & Energy Drinks

Carbohydrates are your brain and body's preferred source of energy. The correct use of carbs, before, during and after physical exertion can help extend your endurance, improve your performance, and speed recovery.

Simple carbs - sucrose, glucose and dextrose - provide a quick release of energy. Long chain, complex carbs - maltodextrin - provide a more stable and sustained energy source.
Fructose helps restore liver glycogen more readily than other sugars, making it beneficial for use during extended endurance exercise.
