Fast-Digesting Complex Carbohydrate for Performance

Carbo Gain delivers a readily available source of carbohydrates that can help replenish glycogen stores depleted during intense exercise. While maltodextrin is classified as a complex carbohydrate due to its molecular structure, it digests rapidly, making it a popular choice before, during, or after demanding workouts. Adequate carbohydrate intake helps support training performance, endurance, and recovery as part of a balanced diet and exercise program.*

How Carbohydrates Support Bodybuilding

Carbohydrates play an important role in bodybuilding by providing the body with its preferred fuel source during resistance training. Muscle glycogen is the primary energy reserve used during weightlifting and high-volume training. Replenishing glycogen after exercise helps prepare muscles for future workouts and supports consistent training intensity.

Bodybuilders often use carbohydrate supplements such as maltodextrin to:

• Help replenish muscle glycogen following exercise.
• Provide convenient calories during muscle-building phases.
• Support sustained training intensity during high-volume workouts.
• Pair with protein after training to support post-workout nutrition.

Carbo Gain can also be useful for individuals who have difficulty consuming enough calories from whole foods alone, making it easier to meet daily energy requirements during periods of intense training or muscle gain.

Simple, Versatile Formula

NOW Sports Carbo Gain contains pure maltodextrin with no added sugars, flavors, or artificial ingredients. It mixes easily into protein shakes, sports drinks, or smoothies, allowing users to customize their carbohydrate intake based on their training goals and nutritional needs.
