Carbohydrates are a fundamental energy substrate and predictor of sports performance, which is why they are consumed in large quantities in the diet of athletes.
This product contains fructose.
However, the consumption of carbohydrates in the period around training requires a much more specific evaluation, seeking to assess good digestion and adequate energy intake.
In sports traditionally known as endurance sports, carbohydrates are often used during training as a means of obtaining quick energy during sports practice.
Finally, we must take into account that the consumption of carbohydrates during exercise obeys different transporters when they are consumed in large quantities, this means that under average amounts of carbohydrates the consumption of a source of glucose is sufficient.
However, in those sports where large amounts of carbohydrates are consumed (above 45/60/g) the combination of a glucose source with fructose in a 2:1 ratio may be a good option to increase the total amount of carbohydrates during exercise. Therefore, the use of fructose as a carbohydrate in combination with glucose may be a more interesting action than both separately.
Therefore, in long-duration sports where large amounts of carbohydrates are consumed, fructose becomes a great option when including them during training.
Adapt the dose to your daily energy and nutritional needs. However, the consumption of 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates during exercise has been shown to have an ergogenic effect in medium and long-duration sports. In case of consuming 60 g in your intra-workout drink, you could include 20 g of fructose.
