7 Ways To Use SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot
During rigorous exercise, the “reactor core” of hard-training endurance athletes’ metabolisms can be thrust into overdrive, and the energy demands to support rigorous workouts can skyrocket. Therefore, the importance for a source of pure energy during this period of time cannot be overstated. The body’s preferred source of pure energy comes from carbohydrates. Because every cell in the body requires it for metabolic fuel, cellular demands for carbohydrate fuel become exponential during training and racing .
SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot was formulated to provide instant carbs/energy before, during, and after intense endurance training and racing. The backbone of SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot is the super carb known as Karbolyn. A sugar free carb that absorbs 18% faster than glucose and other sugars with zero GI distress or the dreaded sugar crash.
Karbolyn is a uniquely engineered homopolysaccharide (relatively complex carbohydrate) with a precisely manipulated “molecular mass.” This molecular mass is what enables Karbolyn to absorb through the digestive track at a substantially faster rate than most other dietary or supplemental carb on the market. Even at this hyper-fast rate of absorption, Karbolyn is completely sugar free yet still provides the sustained energy of complex carbohydrates. Think about the implications of that last statement…Karbolyn delivers the best qualities of both simple and complex carbohydrates!
SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot is the first and only product on the market to use concentrated Karbolyn to give you instant energy and break the bonk.
If you're sick of gels and chews and want an effective, easy, and mess free solution to provide immediate energy during racing and training, SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot is your answer!
Karbolyn - Karbolyn® is a homopolysaccharide. (relatively complex carbohydrate). Karbolyn® is made up of many monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds. These are very large bonds that are branched macromolecules. The "Molecular Mass" has been precisely manipulated to create absorption through the stomach at a rate much greater than maltodextrin, dextrose, bread, pasta, rice or any other carb product on the market.
Because Karbolyn® passes through the stomach very quickly, it acts like a pump, pulling water and nutrients along with it. This high tech carbohydrate actually moves through the stomach 18.21% faster than dextrose or sugar.
Taurine – This amino acid has numerous functions including oxidative stress, blood flow and angiogenesis, and insulin sensitivity which ultimately culminate in improved endurance performance.
Sodium – The most abundant electrolyte lost in sweat, sodium needs to be replaced during endurance exercise to prevent hyponatremia.
Potassium – Potassium is the primary electrolyte found inside cells. Working together with Sodium, the primary electrolyte found outside of cells, potassium speeds cellular rehydration during and after sweating.
Chloride - Hypochloremia (low blood chloride) has the same dangers as hyponatremia, and for every 10 sodium ions lost in sweat, 8 chloride ions go with it. Therefore, chloride is an electrolyte that must be considered during exercise.
What's the best way to take SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot?
Consume 2 ounces every 45 minutes for any exercise lasting over one hour. SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot can also be consumed 20 minutes prior to exercise to elevate blood glucose and immediately after exercise to help replenish muscle glycogen.
What's the consistency of SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot?
The best way to describe the consistency is somewhere between water and a syrup. It is more on the aqueous side by design, as this leads to faster digestion and absorption in the gut and makes it more palatable. No water needed!
Why not make a gel instead?
Honestly, everyone makes a gel and we wanted to introduce something new and innovative. Plus we hate the sticky mess gels leave and how they sit heavy in the stomach. Plus they are just so darn tough to consume during racing and training.
Can I add SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot to any other EndurElite products?
Yes, we designed SustainElite Liquid Carb Shot to be added to ANY EndurElite product. However, we recommended adding it to PerformElite or ElectroElites.
The title says it all. As i've worked my way into longer endurance training, fueling throughout the workout is key. I've tried many products, goos, gels, etc. which have left me with some stomach issues, sticky hands, products that require having liquid to choke down the nutrients. The carb shot solves all these issues. The first time I took this product was on a long run with some goal marathon pace work in it. I took the carb shot about half way through and got an almost immediate boost. I had no stomach issues and taking the shot was almost like sipping on juice rather than painfully trying to get a gel down. My run workout felt uninterrupted. i'm excited to keep using this product and see the positive impacts it has in my training as I go for a fast marathon and eventually some ultra races.
I got this product before a week long snowboarding trip. This thing was the absolute best! I would take some throughout the day and it helped keep my energy up and helped me shred the mountain with minimal fatigue, highly recommend this product.
Fill 1/4 of your flask with this, mix with water, and you’ll never bonk on long runs! Pair this bad boy with PerformElite and it seems like you can run for days. Great product! I will definitely be ordering more. Great job Matt and team!
I’m constantly looking to improve my Event Nutrition. Gel has been my go to. Simply because it worked but, I hated the taste and mess. As well as unintentional litter.
I’m extremely happy with Carb Shots. No mess. It works for me and I will be grabbing it for every Event. I’m done looking for nutrition. It’s become a Training and Event tool for success.
