Product Overview

100% PURE CARB/ 3 rd PARTY LAB-TESTED: AS-IT-IS Pure Carb is a dietary supplement made

from 100% maltodextrin, which a polysaccharide (number of simple sugars connected together)

produced from non-GMO corn. The pure carb is produced from the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn

starch followed by purification and spray drying. The resulting white powder is of high purity, free of

soy, dairy, yeast, flavour or any other additives and has been 3 rd party lab-tested for assurance on the

same. Pure carb is easily digestible, absorbed rapidly as glucose, provides sustained energy levels to

help build muscle mass and support weight gain.

MALTODEXTRIN IS A GREAT CARB SOURCE: Maltodextrin holds an upper hand when compared

to other carb sources because of its glycemic index (GI

the measure of how quickly a food source

raises blood sugar and hence insulin levels). While monosaccharides like fructose, sucrose and

dextrose are good sources of carbs, their glycemic rate is less than that of maltodextrin, which means

they may not be digested quickly and does not raise insulin levels to any great degree. Maltodextrin is

absorbed directly through the gut, may raise blood sugar levels quickly. Because maltodextrin is

metabolized slower than dextrose, there will not a quick drop of insulin and blood sugar levels as with

dextrose.

HELP REPLENISH GLYCOGEN STORES: In the recovery mode, your body tries to replace the

carbohydrates that have been depleted or used up. Consumption of high GI foods like maltodextrin

during this period helps to replenish muscles glycogen stores quickly. The pure carb will result in a

quick energy boost and ideal level of insulin boost to maximize the uptake of nutrients from the

bloodstream into the muscle cells. With the extra boost of energy, maltodextrin gives users the ability

to improve endurance and to recover faster after intense workouts. Studies have demonstrated a

super-compensation of glycogen stores when carb source is consumed immediately post-workout

and delayed consumption attenuates the rate of muscle glycogen re-synthesis.

THE IDEAL BULKING AGENT: By providing 4 calories per gram, maltodextrin serves as a top

source of fast calories and energy for those who intend to increase body mass. It has been found that

a combination of maltodextrin with protein can promote enhanced glycogen recovery and stimulated

muscle protein synthesis, help improve muscle strength, muscle power and sports performance.

Maltodextrin helps to decrease net glycogen breakdown when consumed pre-workout while it serves

as the best carb source to replace the used glycogen when consumed post-workout. Combination of

pure carb and protein may work as an effective option to increase body mass by stimulating protein

synthesis and helping reduce muscle catabolism.

CONSUME HIGH GLYCEMIC FOODS POST-WORKOUT: The hormone cortisol (stress hormone)

secreted during your intense exercise has catabolic effects. Unless properly replenished, cortisol will

trigger the breakdown of muscle protein for glucose (a process called gluconeogenesis), the net

result is a loss of muscle tissue. Post-workout maltodextrin consumption maximizes the release of

insulin (anabolic hormone). For athletes, those who do intense workouts, bodybuilders, weight

trainers, maltodextrin can serve as the quick, easy to digest source of calories and energy. It can be

easily added to the mass building and recovery shakes.

PURE CARB IS VERSATILE: Maltodextrin has a flavour that is somewhere between tasteless to

hinting of sweetness. It does not affect the flavour and other product characteristics. Its texture, easy

miscibility and bland taste make it extremely beneficial to be combined with fruit shakes, protein

shakes or sports drinks. Maltodextrin can be used as thickeners for soups and gravies, helps to

enhance the tenderness and the texture of cookies, cakes, muffins and other bakery

products. Maltodextrin can be used as a thickening agent for protein shakes or a texturizer for frozen

products, canned fruits, juices and pudding.
