Whether you're about to hit an intense session, you've just come out of one, or you're on the go and suddenly became completely ravenous, we are willing to bet you need carbs. Time is of the essence, especially for all the high achievers within the fitness industry, and Extreme Carbs is our answer to quick, convenient, high quality and fast absorbed carbohydrates. Protein tends to get the biggest wrap within the fitness industry, but all in all carbs definitely have their place and importance too, as the fastest acting and most easily utilised fuel source for our body. Boosting recovery, natural pre-workout energy and anabolic state, we believe Extreme Carbs is something every athlete needs in their gym bag.
- Provides fast acting and extremely effective energy for optimal workout or race day performance - Enhances post-workout replenishment of glycogen stores - Boosts anabolic recovery - Contains innovative ingredient PromilinTM to assist transport of glucose to skeletal muscle
Carbs are your body's most usable and most effective source of energy. For athletes and people within the sports and fitness industry chasing optimised performance - this is the kind of energy you should be striving for. Whether it be pre-training, for an quick and sustainable fuel source to drive your body further within the session, post-workout to quickly replenish the reserves within your body or adding a little extra weight to the macros when you're trying to boost your carbs, Extreme Carbs is undoubtedly the most convenient, simple and effective way to get them in.
It's important to note that not all carbs are created equal. Extreme Carbs is definitely a little more scientifically based and optimal when it comes to pre-workout energy. Extreme Carbs provides an extremely High G.I glucose formulation to effectively ensure the glucose molecules are absorbed as rapidly as possible into the muscles to get used as fuel. Brown Rice and Sweet Potato definitely have their place, but when you're working out, you need you energy and release ASAP - not gradually released over multiple hours. This makes Extreme Carbs an effective tool to add to, or replace, your pre workout with - increasing natural energy, and thus your physical ability and stamina immensely.
Equally as important, is the role of Extreme Carbs within recovery. Extreme Carbs Energy & Glycogen Recovery Formula has been specifically developed to enhance post-workout glycogen synthesis and improve anabolic recovery. This is achieved by replenishing the glycogen reserves which become depleted during exercise and training. After depletion, the body automatically stimulates a process called glycogen synthesis, whereby insulin sensitivity is at its peak so there is an enhanced ability to absorb sugars needed to replenish vital energy reserves. Therefore, through intake of Extreme Carbs within this time, your body is able to make the most of the glycogen synthesis state, and replenish reserves to boost recovery and ensure you are able to come back with the same fire and performance the next session!
Extreme Carbs goes the extra mile to optimise its formula for recovery by providing both rapid, moderate and slowly absorbed carbohydrates as well as a powerful insulin potentiator. In this way, the supply of glycogen to the body is prolonged - for a sustained release to enhance your body's anabolic state. While High G.I glucose provides rapid glycogen replacement, Medium Length Glucose Polymers contribute a steady stream supply of glucose and rice starch breaks down more slowly, to providing glycogen replenishing carbohydrates for the entire peak glycogen synthesis phase. This is assisted by the addition of a revolutionary and unique ingredient, PromilinTM, which promotes glucose-induced insulin release and assists in transporting glucose to skeletal muscle, where it can be used for energy, recovery and muscle growth, rather than be stored as bodyfat. Therefore, holistically, Extreme Carbs not only assists with boosted energy and muscular performance output, but in achiving increased muscle mass and lowered body fat too!!

[How to use?]
Our recommended use for this product depends on the time of day and purpose of use: Post-Workout or General Meal.
As a post workout shake, we recommend a serving size of approximately 1.0-1.5g per kg of bodyweight - therefore meaning an 80kg person would have a serve size of 80-120g.
Mix this with approximately 300-400mL of water, using a shaker or blender to combine.
The most effective time of use is directly following training.
For general use throughout the day as a meal replacement, instead estimate a serving size based on 0.5 - 0.75g per kg of bodyweight.
To mix, combine with 50-100mL of water per 20g of EXTREME CARBS. Similarly, optimal results are achieved by mixing with a protein.
