Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are an important source of energy, particularly in the context of physical activity. They are commonly consumed around training sessions and are a key component of many sports nutrition strategies.
After physical exercise, carbohydrates are often included as part of a balanced diet to help adapt nutritional intake to training phases and individual energy requirements.
So-called weight gainers typically contain a combination of carbohydrates and proteins, and in some cases also creatine. These products are mainly used in sports nutrition to supplement daily energy and nutrient intake.
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Creatine increases physical performance during short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.
The combination of carbohydrates, protein, and creatine is widely used in sports nutrition and can be integrated into a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
