Carbo Surge-X 1000 g

BodyWorld Carbo Surge-X is an advanced carbohydrate blend designed to replenish energy during physical activity and support post-workout recovery. It combines maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, which activates two distinct intestinal transport mechanisms. This allows the body to absorb up to 30% more carbohydrates and replenish muscle glycogen 75% faster than products using only glucose or maltodextrin. It is especially suitable for endurance sports like running, cycling, or triathlon.

The recommended dose is 1 scoop (50 g) mixed in 350 to 500 ml of water. The drink can be consumed before, during, or after physical activity based on your current energy needs. One 1000 g container provides 20 servings, equivalent to 20 workouts at standard dosage. You should tailor the exact amount to the intensity and duration of your training, or your body weight, as the recommended total intake of carbohydrates for muscle recovery is 4 g per kilogram of body weight daily from all sources.

Carbo Surge-X can be taken whenever needed - before training to top up energy stores, during long-duration activity for continuous carbohydrate replenishment, or after performance for rapid recovery. For optimal muscle recovery, it is recommended to consume carbohydrates within the first 4 hours following intense physical activity, and no later than 6 hours after completion. This is the window during which the body most effectively replenishes depleted muscle glycogen stores.

The main difference is the 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, which is absent in pure maltodextrin or glucose products. This combination utilizes two separate carbohydrate transporters in the gut (SGLT1 for glucose and GLUT5 for fructose), so the body can absorb up to 30% more carbohydrates at once without overwhelming digestion. This results in 75% faster muscle glycogen replenishment compared to single-source carbohydrate supplements, which use only one transport channel and have a lower hourly absorption ceiling.

Thanks to the combination of glucose and fructose, which are absorbed via distinct pathways, Carbo Surge-X is designed not to burden the digestive system even when taking higher doses of carbohydrates during performance. Single-source carbohydrate supplements (e.g., pure glucose) often cause bloating or an osmotic diarrheal effect at high doses because they only use one channel. The dual mechanism in Carbo Surge-X reduces this risk.

No, the product does not contain any allergens. The composition consists solely of maltodextrin, fructose, and citric acid, with no presence of gluten, lactose, soy, or nuts. It is therefore suitable for people with common food intolerances who want to replenish energy during sports without the risk of an allergic reaction. However, for specific health restrictions or coeliac disease, we recommend consulting a physician before regular use of any dietary supplement.

Yes, the product's composition (maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid) is purely plant-based and contains no animal ingredients or derivatives. Therefore, vegans and vegetarians can use the product as a source of readily available energy during training without issues. Since it contains neither protein nor animal fats, it is also suitable for those on a plant-based diet who need to top up their purely carbohydrate intake during endurance performance.

One serving (50 g) contains 199 kcal and 48.5 g of carbohydrates, of which 23.5 g are sugars. The product contains no fats or proteins; it is a pure source of rapidly usable energy. One 1000 g pack provides 20 servings. This formulation is typical for carbohydrate blends designed to top up energy before, during, or after performance, where the goal is rapid availability of glucose and fructose for muscles without the burden of other macronutrients.

Yes, Carbo Surge-X is a purely carbohydrate product without protein or fats, making it highly compatible with protein supplements and creatine. Carbohydrates can support the transport of creatine into muscle cells and, when taken with protein post-workout, contribute to faster recovery - carbohydrates replenish glycogen, while proteins support the repair of muscle fibres. When combining multiple supplements, it is advisable to monitor your total caloric and carbohydrate intake, especially if you are on a weight-loss diet.

The product is intended primarily for athletes engaged in endurance disciplines - running, cycling, triathlon, or other long-duration performances where constant energy replenishment is necessary. It is also suitable for strength athletes for rapid post-workout glycogen recovery. Due to the dual transport mechanism, it is also appropriate for those who experience digestive issues with conventional carbohydrate supplements at higher doses. It is not intended as a substitute for protein intake, as it contains no proteins.

The product is sold in an unflavoured version, which allows for easy mixing with water as well as combination with other drinks or supplements without affecting the taste. A 1000 g pack contains 20 servings of 50 g, which lasts for approximately 20 training days when taking one serving per day. During more intense endurance training, where the dose is taken multiple times a day (before, during, and after performance), the pack will be consumed faster depending on your individual training plan.

This ratio is scientifically proven to be optimal for maximizing simultaneous carbohydrate absorption in the gut. Glucose is absorbed via the SGLT1 transporter and fructose via the GLUT5 transporter; thus, by taking them together, the body uses two independent absorption pathways instead of one. This results in up to 30% higher total carbohydrate absorption per hour and 75% faster muscle glycogen replenishment compared to supplements containing only glucose or maltodextrin, which use solely the SGLT1 transporter.
