Provides complex carbohydrate, to give a quick but prolonged release of energy

Energy for training and competition is stored in the muscles as a carbohydrate, called glycogen. Taking the right form of carbohydrate before and after training/competition can have a marked effect on energy and performance.

AFTER TRAINING Research has shown that the replacement of muscle energy (glycogen) occurs fastest within 45 minutes of finishing your exercise. So the drink should be taken IMMEDIATELY after the exercise.

BEFORE TRAINING You need to ensure that the blood sugar remains at a good level. Taking sweets, sugar or glucose causes your body to release a hormone, insulin; this LOWERS blood sugar and LESSENS energy.

ATLAS CARBO CHARGE can be taken before and during exercise, but mix it weakly so that it can be easily absorbed.

Before/during exercise:

Add one and a half dessertspoons (15g)

After exercise:

Cold water is best as it leaves the stomach quicker.

Replacement is the quickest during the first hour – complete replacement takes 48 hours
