HIGHLY BRANCHED CYCLIC DEXTRIN WITH GALACTOSE/FRUCTOSE AND MINERALS
Genetic Supplements HYDRA-CARB is a completely unique carbohydrate formulation/mineral complex designed to provide a fast gastric emptying and swift delivery carbohydrate to the body without the associated stomach issues or a potential rise in insulin of traditional carb powders as well as maintaining correct hydration while training or competing.
When it comes to optimising sporting performance and recovery, glycogen replenishment is of paramount importance.
Once your protein needs have been taken care of it is important to supply your body with an adequate amount of carbohydrates to help replenish depleted glycogen stores. The amount of carbohydrates you consume will be highly specific to your personal goals and training schedule.
In order to maximise muscle glycogen replenishment as quickly as possible HYDRA-CARB supplies carbohydrates at a ratio of 2:1 muscle substrate (glucose and its precursors) to liver substrate (Galactose & Fructose). The muscle tissue has a greater capacity to store more glycogen hence the difference in ratios.
The incorporation of Galactose & Fructose is a tactful and proven way of maximising liver glycogen stores post exercise whilst at the same time leaving more glucose available from the Cyclic Dextrin (glucose source) for your muscles to feast on.
This is achieved using the following performance factors:
Cluster Dextrin®
Utilising genuine Cluster Dextrin® Hydra-Carb is engineered from the state of the art, low-molecular-weight carbohydrate better known as Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD).
Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin is released by the stomach in a rapid, yet controlled manner thereby blood glucose levels are constant and maintained throughout your workout or sporting activity, increasing performance and endurance.
Galactose/Fructose
Recent research on the effects of combining differing types of carbohydrate during exercise has shown that when glucose (or Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin in HYDRA-CARB) is consumed with fructose (and Galactose in HYDRA-CARB), carbohydrate adaption can exceed 1.5g per minute, increasing the rate of delivery to the working muscles by up to 50% of normal absorption rates and up to 90g of carbohydrates per hour. This is due to the fact that Galactose and Fructose are transported and utilised via a different mechanism to glucose.
*Mixing notes re Galactose & Fructose: If very cold water is used, it may take longer (1-2 mins) for these components to completely disolve. This characteristic is entirely normal and is not a fault with the product.
Citric Acid
Citric Acid, quite obviously, forms the basis of the ‘Citric Acid Cycle’ or ‘Krebs Cycle’ which is the process of a series of chemical reactions that produce ATP (Andenosine TriPhosphate) the body’s biochemical way to store and use energy.
Malic Acid
Malic Acid is also present in the Krebs Cycle and acts as a catalyst which increases energy production from pyruvic acid. Malic Acid aids in the countering of lactic acid build up during exercise and is also reported to be beneficial for those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Mineral Formulation
Genetic Hydra-CARB contains a comprehensive mineral ‘pack’ to support a reduction in tiredness and fatigue, ensure electrolyte balance, contribute to a normal energy yielding metabolism, normal muscle function & function of the nervous system & psychological function as well as supporting protein synthesis and correct hydration & cramp-reduction during intense physical activity. Compromising: Magnesium, Chloride, Sodium and Potassium.
Gluten Free
Suitable for Vegetarians
LGC Laboratories Tested: Pending
Allergen Warning: Note: Not suitable for galactosaemia (galactose malabsorption) sufferers. Galactose can be processed by lactose intolerant individuals however and the use of Hydra-Carb should present no problems to the lactose intolerant.
Directions For Use: As a guide: Intense/extended training or competition use: Mix 2 scoops (64g) in 800ml-1litre of water. Less intense or shorter session use: Mix 1 scoop in 400ml water.
Ingredients: Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin), Galactose, Fructose, Flavouring, Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Magnesium Citrate, Tri-Sodium Citrate, Potassium Chloride, Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides (Stevia)), Natural Colouring
