Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the body's preferential source of energy, required to sustain high intensity activity making a high carbohydrate diet optimal for those looking to build muscle and maximise their sporting performance. Those engaging in a high volume of training in particular will need to consume more carbohydrates such as waxy maize and Vitargo, shown to replenish muscle glycogen stores faster than solid food can achieve. It is common for athletes to consume some carbohydrate beverages during training and especially after training. The products here can be combined with protein powders to make a mix of nutrients to suit the user or else there are post workout supplements which combine all nutrients together.
