DGC - Fast Muscle Energy and HydrationThe best carbohydrate source to consume immediately after training is glucose. Glucose is a better choice than all other carbohydrates for the immediate post-workout period as it requires no digestion and rapidly elevates blood sugar, insulin levels and muscle glycogen stores.

After intense exercise such as a Max-OT workout, blood glucose and insulin levels are low. When you are training to build lean mass, a strategic dose of DGC after training will restore insulin levels and shut off muscle breakdown while igniting the anabolic processes.

In research, glucose consumption within the post workout period is shown to produce more efficient glycogen accumulation within muscle than other carbohydrates. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose and the primary fuel of intense muscle contraction. Most bodybuilders follow low carb diets and run the risk of continuously training with low muscle glycogen levels. This is a sure way to increase muscle breakdown and grind your progress to a halt.

DGC is the perfect post-workout carb source. DGC requires no digestion prior to absorption into the bloodstream for ultra-fast glycogen replenishment. DGC will work to effectively restore insulin levels and provide much-needed fuel for muscles to speed recovery. DGC is literally a super-carbohydrate that rapidly sucked up by muscle tissue. You’ll feel it working!
