Carb Max - low-GI Palatinose carb fuel for long training sessions
Strom Carb Max is a highly branched cyclic dextrin carbohydrate powder formulated around low-GI Palatinose. Each 30g serving delivers 28g of carbohydrates at 113 calories, with 0.5g sugar. The 1.5kg tub provides 50 servings.
The primary carbohydrate source is noted as Palatinose (isomaltulose), a naturally derived disaccharide from beet sugar with a GI of approximately 32. Palatinose provides the same 4kcal per gram as standard carbohydrates but releases glucose slowly and steadily, improving fat oxidation during exercise compared to fast-digesting carbohydrates, and providing sustained energy without blood glucose spikes. The formula also contains marketing claims referencing citrulline for blood flow, glycerol for muscle fullness and four minerals for hydration, though the database actives list records the carbohydrate matrix as the verified component. The near-zero sugar content makes it suitable for athletes monitoring sucrose and fructose intake.
What separates Carb Max from dextrose or maltodextrin products is the glycaemic profile. Standard intra-workout carbohydrates use high-GI sources for rapid absorption during training. Carb Max uses a slow-release carbohydrate that improves fat oxidation and sustains energy across longer sessions, making it more appropriate for endurance training, bodybuilding prep, and any context where a stable energy curve is preferable to a spike.
Carb Max suits endurance athletes, bodybuilders adding carbohydrate calories during bulking phases, and anyone wanting a clean carbohydrate source with no added sugar that mixes easily into shakes. It is not formulated for post-workout glycogen replenishment where fast-release carbohydrates have a specific advantage. Contains no major allergens.
