Carbohydrate Supplements

At Popeye’s Supplements we offer a wide variety of Carbohydrate supplements, all unique in their own way so you are sure to find the right one for you!

What is it?  

Supplemental Carbohydrates are typically fast digesting and require little no effort from the body to break down and absorb. One benefit of Carbohydrate Supplements is that they are quickly absorbed and transported to the muscles, providing a rapid source of energy during training, with minimal gastrointestinal distress. Another benefit is that it may help to spare glycogen stores during exercise, which can help delay fatigue and improve performance. Additionally, when taken post workout they are assimilated into the muscles very quickly increasing protein and amino acid uptake into the muscle promoting improved recovery.

One of the main sources of Carbohydrates that are in the Products that Popeye’s Supplements sells is cluster dextrin. Cluster Dextrin is made by breaking down amylopectin, a component of starch, and then reassembling it in a high branched and compact structure. It is designed to be rapidly absorbed and transported to the muscles where it can be used as a source of fuel. It is a great option pre or intra to help with energy or post workout to help improve recovery.

Karbolyn is another patented source of Carbohydrates that Popeye’s Supplements sells. It is a type of carbohydrate that is derived from cornstarch. It is also designed to be quickly absorbed making it a great option for pre or intra workout to help improve energy or post workout to help improve recovery. Studies have shown that Karbolyn has a very small impact on blood sugar levels preventing any sort of crash in energy.

Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Increased energy: Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy, and consuming carbohydrate powders before or during exercise can help support energy production and improve performance.
2. Enhanced recovery: Consuming carbohydrate powders after exercise can help replenish glycogen stores in the muscles and support muscle recovery and repair.
