FAQ:
I am allergic to wheat – does Carb BOOM! contain any gluten?
No. Gluten is found in many wheat and grain foods and cannot be eaten by individuals with celiac disease (people that are allergic to flour). The main ingredient in Carb BOOM! is maltodextrin -- a carbohydrate made from natural corn starch. Corn-based maltodextrins are safe for patients with celiac disease or who are gluten-intolerant since they do not contain proteins from wheat, barley, oats or rye.
Can diabetics use Carb BOOM!?
Carb BOOM! can be a great resource for diabetic individuals and/or athletes. Our gels can be consumed with the same precautions that typically apply to diabetics and the ingestion of carbohydrates during rest and exercise. Each gel pack (1.4 ounces) contains about 27 grams of carbohydrates -- about 85% of which consists of complex carbohydrates. To be safe, a doctor should be consulted to confirm what is best for the particular individual.
Is Carb BOOM! "vegan"?
Yes, Carb BOOM! is safe for vegan vegetarians.
Does Carb BOOM! Gel contain any animal products or MSG?
No, Carb BOOM! Gel does not contain any animal products or MSG.
Is Carb BOOM! Gel kosher?
Carb BOOM! is not kosher at this time.
What are energy gels and why are they useful?
Easier on the stomach than bars or drinks, energy gels provide a super concentrated source of carbohydrates that get absorbed very rapidly into your body, providing a lighting quick source of energy to your working muscles. The average person has only 65-85 minutes worth of energy in the body that is stored as carbohydrate. Once this source is depleted, blood glucose levels drop, fatigue sets in and performance falls. Because we have such limited stores in the body, it is imperative that carbohydrate be ingested during exercise in order to perform at the highest levels possible.
When do I use Carb BOOM!?
Before, during or after exercise. Carb BOOM! should be used while you are working out or competing to help improve endurance performance and delay fatigue. In addition, Carb BOOM! is ideal to use after an intense workout or competitive event in order to replenish carbohydrate stores in the body. Please see our “USAGE” section for more detailed information.
Who needs Carb BOOM! Energy Gel?
Carb BOOM! is primarily used by Endurance Athletes – Cyclists, Runners, Mountain Bikers, Triathletes, Adventure Racers, etc. However anyone needed a quick burst of energy can benefit from Carb BOOM!
How much Carb BOOM! should I take?
We recommend consuming roughly 1-2 packs of Carb BOOM! per hour during exercise to keep you performing at your best. Please see our “USAGE” section for more detailed information.
Should I take water with Carb BOOM!?
YES. The consumption of Carb BOOM! during exercise is not sufficient to replace the water lost from sweating in order to combat dehydration. It is very important that individuals participating in strenuous exercise drink enough fluid to stay hydrated. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), it is recommended that individuals drink 16-30 ounces per hour in order to replace sweat/fluid loss. In addition to concerns about dehydration, insufficient levels of water intake may slow down the intestinal absorption of carbohydrates. We recommended that roughly 8-10 ounces of water or a sports beverage be consumed per pack of Carb BOOM!. Please see our “USAGE” section for more detailed information.
I don’t work out very much but like the taste of Carb BOOM!. Can Carb BOOM! benefit me?
Yes, Carb BOOM! is an excellent source of carbohydrate energy without giving you unwanted fat and fiber. It can be eaten between meals as a snack or whenever you need a quick burst of energy.
Why should I use Carb BOOM! instead of an energy bar?
Many athletes prefer gels over energy bars because gels provide a super concentrated dose of carbohydrate that is absorbed very easily into the bloodstream. Additionally, gels are attractive because they are less “heavy on the stomach” and less likely to cause gastrointestinal distress than energy bars.
Lenght of action of a Carb BOOM! packet
Each packet of Carb BOOM! gel provides enough energy for 20 to 30 minutes of exercise. In order to maintain a constant flow of enerrgy to the body, it is recommended to consume one packet per 20-30 minutes of exercise.
What is the proportion of simple to complex carbohydrate in Carb BOOM! Energy Gel?
Carb BOOM! Gel contains a special blend of about 89% complex carbohydrates (maltodextrin) and 11% simple sugars.
What is maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is an easily digestible complex carbohydrate made from natural corn starch. Maltodextrin is the preferred carbohydrate used in energy foods due to its solubility, low taste profile, and quick absorption. Maltodextrin is the primary source of complex carbohydrates in Carb BOOM! energy gel.
Easy to digest: Prevents stomach upset
The high complex carb and low simple sugar formula of Carb BOOM! allows an easy digestion and assimilation. Its short intestinal transit time prevents any digestive problems.
Directions:
Recommended quantities to maximize your athletic performance
For a constant flow of energy during the length of the exercise.
BEFORE - Top off your energy stores by taking one packet of Carb BOOM! Energy Gel 15 minutes before exercise with 200ml of water or Carb BOOM! Electrolyte Sports Drink to speed absorption.
DURING – For sustained energy consume one packet of Carb BOOM! Energy Gel every 30-45 minutes during exercise, washing it down with a few mouthfuls of water or Carb BOOM! Electrolyte Sports Drink to speed absorption.
Water, water, water! Make sure to drink at least a cup of water with each gel to wash it down and help with hydration levels—it helps to time gel consumption with water stops/aid stations on the course. Try to make sure you’re taking in 16-30 ounces of fluids per hour to maintain adequate hydration level
AFTER – Speed recovery and reduce post-exercise fatigue by comsuming one packet of Carb BOOM! Energy Gel within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. This takes advantage of the post-exercise time window when your body replenishes lost glycogen most efficiently.
FOR BEST RESULTS
Athletes should aim to consume 16-24 oz of fluid and 50-75 grams of carbohydrates per hour to stay properly hydrated and fueled during exercise. These levels can be achieved through various combinations of sports drink, energy gels and water.
