International Protein Extreme Carbs helps your body replenish muscle glycogen reserves after strenuous workouts, including endurance and bodybuilding style training. Glycogen is the storage form of the carbohydrate derivative glucose, which is an important source of energy in the body. The liver and the skeletal muscles store the majority of glycogen in the body, with muscles reserves approximately twice that of liver glycogen. 

During exercise, glycogen reserves are broken-down to provide a fuel for energy synthesis. Plentiful muscle glycogen is important for maintaining power, stamina and perceived energy levels when exercising. Extreme Carbs helps to restore exhausted glycogen reserves, which can take up to six hours post exercise to complete.

Muscle glycogen synthesis is at its peak during the first two hours after exercise, which is termed the "window of opportunity" for recovery. Insulin sensitivity is high during this time period and sugars are absorbed rapidly from the blood to restore lost reserves.

International Protein Extreme Carbs offers a mixture of fast, medium and slow absorbing carbs to fully promote glycogen synthesis. The carbohydrates in this formulation may also relieve muscular soreness and delayed onset pain, while enhancing muscular growth. Promilin^TM present in International Protein Extreme Carbs enhances and augments the action of insulin in skeletal muscles.

It speeds up the glycogen synthesis and increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin. This helps create an optimum anabolic environment for protein synthesis. Promilin^TM ensures glucose is used for the growth and repair of muscle tissues, rather than stored as fat.
