What is carboloading or carbohydrate stacking?

Carboloading literally means raising carbohydrates and involves loading additional sugars to optimize the energy supply in your muscles. The availability of carbohydrates is one of the most important factors that affect your performance.

When do you do this?

You can do carboloading in the run-up to an important race or intensive training session to fill your fuel tank as good as possible. Two to three days before the game, you start to provide your body with extra energy. You can eat extra carbohydrate-rich food the days before the race. Examples of carbohydrate-rich foods are potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, fruit.

Specifically for this carboloading, 3Action has developed the 3Action Carboloader in a neutral taste. Because of its neutral flavour, the Carboloader can not only be drunk but also added to other beverages or foods such as yogurt, soup, pasta sauce, etc. Eating large amounts of carbohydrates can sometimes disturb your digestive system. By using a carboloader this is avoided and you can do carbohydrate stacks in a light digestible way.
