High5's Super Carbs

*An excerpt from a High5 news release - contact JH for more info

After much trial and error, High5 have developed a unique maltodextrin and high fructose blend of carbohydrate. This unique blend has been shown to maximise gastric emptying, while allowing in excess of 90g of carbohydrate per hour to be transported through the gut wall with minimal gastric distress.

Super Carb’s has been extensively tested in the lab and in action. High5 are the nutrition suppliers for pro cycle team CSC. Super Carb’s was used in last year’s Tour de France, where riders consumed up to 120g of carbohydrate per hour in the early stages of the race and suffered no gastric distress.

Because fructose drags additional water across the gut wall as it is absorbed, riders were also shown to benefit from significantly faster hydration. Extensive lab research will be published by mid April on the substantial energy and hydration benefits of High5’s Super Carb’s formulation.

It is predicted that we will show a 50% increase in carbohydrate oxidation rates, a significant increase in water uptake and a reduction in gastric distress, as compared to a maltodextrin only drink.
