Fructose is a simple carbohydrate; a monosaccharide structurally very similar to glucose, with the characteristic that it has a glycaemic index 10 times lower, and therefore insulin stimulation is minimal.
Fructose is the main sugar found naturally in various fruits, and in honey. Its main function is to replenish and replenish liver glycogen.
The consumption of fructose together with other carbohydrates improves the rate of glucose oxidation and by providing energy with a lower glycaemic index it helps to supply energy in a more gradual way. In addition, it has a higher sweetening power than white table sugar, specifically 7 % more.
The intake of carbohydrates during prolonged exercise helps to combat fatigue and, when ingested post-workout, aids the recovery of muscle and liver glycogen stores.
Before training: to ensure full glycogen stores.
At the end of training: to ensure optimal recovery.
In high-intensity endurance sports: to optimise post-exercise glycogen recovery, 1.0-1.2 g/kg/h of glucose-fructose is recommended in the first few hours (approx. 4 h) after the end of the activity.
Add the desired amount of fructose, depending on your nutritional requirements, to your shakes, meals, juices, recipes such as desserts, pancakes, cakes, biscuits, as well as coffees, teas, etc.
