What is raw fructose?
Fructose is a carbohydrate source, a macronutrient that provides energy. Each gram of fructose contains 4 calories.
It is characterized as a slow energy source that does not cause intestinal discomfort or large insulin spikes. Its classification: it is part of the simple carbohydrates group: it is a monosaccharide.
Raw fructose is a recommended supplement for athletes who perform exercises lasting longer than an hour and need to maintain energy levels gradually over a longer period and promote liver glycogen replenishment.
Raw fructose belongs to the new Life Pro Endurance supplement line. This sports supplement range was specially designed for endurance sports. It is recommended for all those who, during long training sessions, seek optimal nutrient supply to their bodies to promote recovery, maintain energy, and improve performance.
What is raw fructose used for?
Your energy consumption:
It is an energy source needed by the body to recover after exercise. It is a type of carbohydrate classified as having a low glycemic index.
This index indicates the rate at which it is digested and transported in the blood as glucose: fructose performs these processes more slowly than other carbohydrates.
Insulin spike:
On the other hand, unlike other types of carbohydrates that require a large insulin spike, fructose creates a much smaller spike. This happens because it is absorbed in the small intestine through the GLUT-4 transporter, which is insulin-independent, unlike others that use the GLUT-5 transporter, which is insulin-dependent.
Ensures better diabetes control.
Avoid digestive discomfort.
Since its assimilation is slower and more progressive, it does not cause discomfort to your digestion. Moreover, it promotes a feeling of satiety.
glycogen reserves.
Fructose helps replenish liver glycogen stores that have been depleted and exhausted during exercise. This promotes recovery and may help prevent feelings of fatigue.
When to take raw fructose?
Before exercise: to replenish liver glycogen stores and promote training or competition.
During exercise: to maintain optimal performance and avoid fatigue. Additionally, due to the advantage of progressive digestion, it will provide continuous energy over time.
At the end of exercise: the liver accumulates glycogen stores and will be practically empty at the end of exercise. Consuming fructose promotes replenishment and better recovery.
