Complex Carbs - Advanced Ratio 1: 0.8 is a mixed mixed carbohydrate powder (amylopectin and maltodextrine) and simple (fructose) in 1: 0.8.

because the ratio [glucose: fructose] 1: 0.8?
According to Podlar et al (Podlogar/Wallis, New Horizons in Carbohydrate Research and Application for Endurance Athletes, 2022), it is the most efficient ratio to obtain energy during physical activity, because fructose and glucose They do not compete for the same absorption way and therefore the body can assimilate more sugars as a source of energy at the same time. This allows, to take (in one fell swoop) high dosages of carbohydrates up to 90 g of carbohydrates in an hour.

Furthermore, according to Podlar et al. A glucose/fructose ratio closest to the unit (i.e. 1: 0.8 glucose: fructose) is higher both from the point of view of the oxidation efficiency (i.e. the fraction of carbohydrates ingested that is oxidized) and from the point of view of intestinal comfort, also to dosages lower than 60 g per hour. Therefore, it is advantageous to assume glucose and fructose carbohydrates in this relationship regardless of the duration of the exercise and the amount of carbohydrates that are taking. Vitargo, maltodextrin and fructose before physical activity can be advantageous to optimize performance, prolonged energy support and the management of sugar in the blood. These three carbohydrates have distinctive characteristics which, combined, offer a balanced energy profile. In addition, fructose is a simple sugar that follows a different metabolic path than glucose.

can you take high quantities of carbohydrates? Greater than 60 g per hour?
usually, a dosage of 60 g/h (grams per hour) of carbohydrates during exercise is recommended, since research have shown that the intake of carbohydrates based on glucose (such as maltodextrins and vitargo) during physical activity brings the oxidation rates of these exogenous carbohydrates to reach the maximum at 60 g/h.

in other words, even if a person is to consume more than 60 G of glucose in an hour, the body would not be able to assimilate them and use them completely during the exercise; Therefore, any excess quantity does not contribute to improving the efficiency of glucose oxidation nor to increase the performance.

On the contrary, an excess of sugars can cause discomfort to the stomach and have a negative impact on sports performance.

Consequently, the body cannot oxidize and use more than 60 g of sugar per hour.

there is the possibility of taking higher doses of sugars when fructose is taken together Glucose, the oxidation rates of exogenous carbohydrates are higher.


Therefore, for athletes it may be convenient to use glucose and fructose carbohydrate mixtures when training or competition last more than 2, 5 hours and when 60-90 g/h of carbohydrates are ingested.
