Carb supplements are a simple way to add clean, measured carbohydrates for training performance, endurance, and post-workout recovery. They’re especially useful for people who train hard, do long sessions, or struggle to eat enough carbs from food around workouts. In this category you’ll find fast carbs, slow carbs, and carb blends designed for intra-workout energy, glycogen refill, and weight gain support.

Why carb supplements are used

Carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel for high-intensity training. During tough workouts, your body uses glycogen (stored carbs) in the muscles. When glycogen is low, performance drops and recovery can feel slower. Carb powders make it easy to fuel training without heavy meals or complicated prep.

Types of carb products in this category

1) Fast Carbs (High GI)
These digest quickly and are best when you need immediate energy or fast recovery.

• Best for: intra-workout energy, post-workout glycogen refill

• Common examples: dextrose-type carbs, cyclic dextrin-based fast formulas, glucose blends (depends on brand)

2) Slow / Moderate Carbs
These provide steadier energy and are often easier on the stomach for longer sessions.

• Best for: endurance training, longer gym sessions, pre-workout fuel

• Common examples: oat-based carbs, maltodextrin blends, balanced carb formulas (varies by product)

3) Carb Blends (Training Fuel)
Some products combine different carb sources for smoother energy and better mixability.

• Best for: athletes who want one product for pre/intra/post workout

4) Mass / High-Calorie Carb Support
Carb supplements are also commonly used as part of weight gain or bulking stacks.

• Best for: hard gainers, adding calories without heavy meals

Who should use carb supplements?

• People doing long or intense workouts (60–120+ minutes)

• Athletes training multiple times per day

• Hard gainers who need more calories

• Anyone who can’t eat a full meal before training but still wants energy

How to choose the right carb product

• For fast energy during training: choose a fast carb / intra-workout carb

• For steady energy and longer sessions: choose a slow/moderate carb

• For bulking and calorie boost: choose a carb blend or mass-style support

How to take carbs (simple guide)

• Pre-workout: small to moderate serving if you train soon and need fuel

• Intra-workout: sip during long/hard sessions

• Post-workout: combine with protein to support recovery and glycogen refill
