CARBS POWDER BY SWITCH NUTRITION

CARBOHYDRATES — Your Body’s Primary Fuel Source

Carbohydrates are one of the three key macronutrients that power your body. They’re the preferred energy source for your muscles and supply around 4 calories per gram (excluding fibre).

Most people get enough carbs from their daily meals, but if you’re an athlete, have a naturally fast metabolism, are aiming to gain size, or train intensely, your body may benefit from extra carbs — especially around workouts or alongside main meals.

Carbohydrates are measured on a Glycaemic Index (GI) scale from 0 to 100, which indicates how quickly they raise blood glucose levels. Glucose sits at the top with a GI of 100, making it the fastest-absorbing carbohydrate.

Supplementing with 100% Pure Carbohydrates by Switch Nutrition may help you:

• Support and sustain training energy

• Promote muscle growth and repair

• Enhance nutrient uptake

• Improve recovery between sessions

For daily meals, low-GI carbohydrates are ideal as they release energy steadily. Around training, however, high-GI carbs such as glucose and maltodextrin can be particularly beneficial. These fast-absorbing carbohydrates rapidly restore glycogen stores, stimulate insulin release, and help create a favourable anabolic environment for muscle building.

Insulin doesn’t just drive glycogen replenishment — it also boosts the delivery of key nutrients like creatine, beta-alanine, citrulline, and glutamine, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your supplement stack.

Glucose and maltodextrin are both gentle on the stomach and easy to digest. When using them during training, aim for a solution concentration of around 7% (about 7 g of carbs per 100 ml of water) to ensure optimal absorption and comfort.
