Scientific Data:

Carbohydrates are one of the main sources of energy in our diet. Energy supply is essential for the fulfillment of our bodily functions, such as the functioning of organs and daily activities. The more active our lives, the greater our energy consumption2.

When energy consumption is insufficient, the body can use muscle protein to generate energy, which can result in the loss of muscle mass. Muscles protect organs, bones and are responsible for the mobility of the skeleton; Muscle loss can contribute to other health problems3.

Those who practice long-term physical activities need to pay even more attention to their carbohydrate consumption, as their energy expenditure is greater. Cyclists, marathon runners, hikers, triathletes, are examples of activities that demand a lot from the body and consume energy reserves2.

To maintain energy throughout sports, consuming carbohydrates before and during the activity is an ally to maintain the rhythm during exercise and aid recovery after physical activity2.

The formula with more than one source of carbohydrates can be used so that the carbohydrate sources are absorbed by the body at different times, thus, part of the energy is absorbed soon after ingestion, providing energy for the start of practice or replenishing energy during a long race. Another part of the carbohydrate is absorbed more slowly, ideal for long activities as it provides energy throughout the practice.
