Buy Carbohydrates with High Glycaemic Index of the best brands

If you do high-intensity sports and want greater performance and muscle recovery, one of your best options is to accompany your diet with a supplement based on fast-absorbing carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates contribute to normal muscle function (contraction) recovery after intense or long-lasting physical exercise, which leads to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stored in the skeletal muscles.

The beneficial effect is achieved by consuming carbohydrates from all sources at a total intake of 4g per kg of body weight, in doses taken within four hours (or, at most, six hours) after the end of intense or long-duration physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and depletion of stored glycogen in the skeletal muscles.

Carbohydrates with a high glycaemic index

At HSN, you can buy the best fast-absorbing (high GI) carbohydrates in powder and gel format.

What are glycaemic index carbohydrates

What are glycaemic index carbohydrates?

High Glycemic Index (HGI) carbohydrates are carbohydrates that are rapidly assimilated, providing immediate energy. They cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, as opposed to low glycaemic index carbs, which cause blood sugar to rise more slowly.

What is the purpose of Fast-Absorbing Carbohydrates?

The purpose of fast-absorbing carbohydrates is to provide athletes with a source of energy.

They're not recommended for regular diets, but they can be useful at certain moments.

For example, they can be taken post-workout, where the important thing is to provide carbohydrates with a high glycemic index to increase glycogen replacement, or as an intra-workout to recharge energy reserves.

What are High Glycaemic Index Carbohydrates?

  • Maltodextrin: a carbohydrate obtained from maize starch, with rapid assimilation and digestion and easy dissolution. It contains neither fat nor protein and provides the right amount of energy needed for prolonged strength and intensity during physical activity.
  • Dextrose or glucose: a carbohydrate with a high glycaemic index that provides energy in a simple form for the needs of sportsmen and women.

What role do High Glycaemic Index Carbohydrates play?

Their main function is to provide a source of energy. Secondly, they contribute to muscle recovery.
