INTERNATIONAL PROTEIN EXTREME CARBS

INTERNATIONAL PROTEIN EXTREME CARBS

Extreme Carbs is a dedicated carbohydrate supplement from International Protein, designed to give athletes precise control over their carbohydrate intake around training without the protein, fat, or flavour interference that comes with a mass gainer or recovery blend. The formula is virtually tasteless and mixes cleanly into water, shakes, smoothies, or food — making it one of the most flexible carbohydrate products available for stacking with other supplements or adding to an existing diet.

The carbohydrate blend combines glucose and fructose for rapid post-workout glycogen replenishment — the dual-transport pathway of glucose via GLUT-4 and fructose via GLUT-5 allows for higher rates of carbohydrate absorption than glucose alone, improving the speed and completeness of muscle glycogen reload after training. This is complemented by rice starch, a low-allergy complex carbohydrate that moderates the absorption rate and adds a sustained energy dimension to the formula, reducing the sharp blood glucose spike associated with pure simple sugar products.

The standout addition is Promilin® (300mg per serve) — a patented fenugreek seed extract standardised for its active glycoside compounds, which have been studied for their role in supporting glucose transport and insulin sensitivity. By enhancing the efficiency of glucose uptake into muscle cells, Promilin helps ensure the carbohydrates consumed post-training are preferentially directed into muscle glycogen storage rather than circulating as blood glucose. This makes Extreme Carbs a meaningfully smarter carbohydrate product than a plain maltodextrin or dextrose supplement.

For post-workout recovery, mix 80g with 200–400ml of water. Recommended dose is 1.0–1.5g per kg of bodyweight. At other times of day, 0.5–0.75g per kg of bodyweight. Use 50–100ml of water per 20g for best consistency. Can be added to smoothies or mixed with food.

Warning: Not suitable for children under 15 years of age or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision. This product is not a sole source of nutrition and should be consumed in conjunction with a nutritious diet and an appropriate training or exercise programme.
