Runner's Clean Carbs
Brand: RunFit Nutrition
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Runner's Clean Carbs utilizes Maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate made of glucose polymers. Upon ingestion, these polymers are rapidly hydrolyzed into individual glucose molecules in the small intestine. Glucose enters the bloodstream, triggering an insulin response that facilitates transport into skeletal muscle cells. Inside the cell, glucose undergoes glycolysis to produce ATP, the cellular energy currency essential for muscle contraction. This efficient uptake mechanism helps replenish muscle glycogen stores depleted during high-intensity endurance activities, preventing fatigue and supporting sustained performance.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Rapid glycogen replenishment for post-workout recovery
- Sustained energy release without fat or protein digestion lag
- Hypoallergenic fuel source (free of common allergens like gluten, dairy, and soy)
- Supports insulin-mediated nutrient delivery to muscles
- Ideal for runners requiring quick, clean caloric intake
Usage & Safety
Mix one 56-gram serving with water or a sports drink. Consume pre-workout for immediate energy or post-workout within 30 minutes to maximize glycogen synthesis rates. Do not exceed recommended dose. Individuals with high blood sugar, pregnant/nursing mothers, and children under 18 should consult a physician before use. Contains maltodextrin; monitor blood glucose if diabetic.
