Products - Carbo Cake
Maxim Carbo Cake is a delicious sports cake, rich in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the most important energy source used by the human body during exercise. Research has shown that a limited supply of carbohydrates in the muscles (glycogen) is one of the most limiting factors regarding performance. It is very important to consume enough carbohydrates, a couple of hours before exercise as well as in your daily diet as an athlete.
Maxim Carbo Cake is ideal to optimize the glycogen stores in the muscles before exercise. One portion will give you approximately 100 g high quality carbohydrates. One portion is 1/3 of a prepared Carbo Cake and equals almost 7 slices of bread!!! It will supply you with maximum energy and many nutritional ingredients necessary for physical strain.
