SuperCarb™

The Perfect Carbohydrate™

Ultra-Low Glycemic Index! Tastes like sugar! Time-released!

SuperCarb™ is Avant Research’s semi-miraculous new carbohydrate product, with a unique metabolic profile and a myriad of applications so desirable it will quickly become a permanent part of your bodybuilding or athletic lifestyle.

SuperCarb™ is a naturally occurring constituent of sugar cane and is found in small amounts in a number of other plants as well. It is non-toxic and very well tolerated at doses under 50-75g. There is nothing else like it out on the market, and it is so useful and so versatile that we just could not keep it shelved any longer. SuperCarb™ ranks up there with any of the several of the most innovative and useful supplements introduced in the last few years. It is a sweet, time-released carbohydrate. A scoop of SuperCarb™ is like having salad, but with the taste of sugar and as they say: the applications are endless.

The Facts

SuperCarb™ is not just a carbohydrate, it is a sugar! We are aware that many people do all they can to avoid carbs and are probably not exactly pumped at the moment, but please resist the urge to close the browser and read on – you'll be happy you did. SuperCarb™ his is no ordinary carbohydrate or sugar. One might call it the “creatine of carbohydrates”, or the “SesaLean™ of sugars“. For all intents and purposes SuperCarb™ IS the perfect carbohydrate.

Calling a nutritional supplement The Perfect Carbohydrate is a bold claim, but SuperCarb™ has the bulk, feel, and taste of sucrose, while retaining roughly half the sweetness. It is fully metabolized and supplies the same 4cal/gram as sucrose. What makes SuperCarb™ the Perfect Carbohydrate is it's unparalleled hydrolysis rate, estimated to require nearly 3x that of any equal bolus of sucrose. Since SuperCarb™ is metabolized much slower, it has an extremely low Glycemic Index value, thus avoiding the deleterious and unwanted spike blood sugar and insulin levels like other commonly ingested CHO's such as sucrose, maltodextrin, refined grains. Without the fallbacks of these other CHO's, SuperCarb™ creates unlimited potential to all athletes who can enjoy the superior metabolic profile and convenience of a powdered, scoop-and-drink CHO year-round.

Look no further for experimental figures on the metabolism of SuperCarb™. As alluded to above, a 60g dose, in a 200lb person, increased blood glucose by only 1/3 of that which was produced by sucrose at the same dose. Additionally, it did not significantly increase blood triglycerides, a property NOT shared by sucrose and fructose. While blood glucose quickly falls to below baseline fasting concentrations with rapidly metabolizing sugars, it remains at the ideally elevated level for several hours with SuperCarb™.

The Benefits

SuperCarb™ provides a modest, but constant and sustained supply of glucose to the bloodstream, and subsequently the cells creating the ideal situation for cell function, performance, mood, and body composition. As the principle energy source for the major organs of the body, this is a product with the potential to not only improve your level of physical fitness and performance as an athlete, but can help those who are sedentary and/or obese, those suffering from a lack of glucose tolerance, and those who commonly experience fatigue and exhaustion.

Performance: Ups and downs in blood sugar result in a myriad of problems from sleepiness to mood swings and fatigue. The benefits of a carbohydrate source that provides a steady stream of glucose and fructose to the brain and muscles when in the gym or on the field (or even studying) should be pretty obvious.

Dieting: A steady monosaccharide supply prevents hunger from rebound low blood sugar, and it signals the adipostatic machinery that the organism has adequate food and bodyfat stores. This is referred to as the “fed state”. This decreases food -- in particular CHO -- cravings, and keeps ones metabolic rate accelerated throughout the day.

The slow release of glucose from SuperCarb™ also minimizes the feed-forward dopaminergic response normally seen with sucrose consumption. This response involves the same neurotransmitter systems and chemicals as drugs of abuse, and it leads to the almost uncontrollable bingeing and cravings that are a part of food or carbohydrate addiction. Minimizing this response is crucial in dieters who tend to overeat. It is also extremely useful for carb-ups and refeeds that one wants to keep from getting out of control.
Finally, the low insulinemic environment promotes greater fatty acid oxidation compared to inferior carbohydrates.

Bulking/Muscle gain: The “fed state” not only keeps your fat burning metabolism up, but it also signals that you can carry more muscle tissue (which is energetically greedy thus needs signals of adequate energy stores). In other words, in the fed state, protein synthesis and anabolism are primed for putting on muscle. The moderated insulin response compared with most carbohydrates will also be very helpful for decreasing fat gain during lean bulking.

Uses

Given its metabolic advantages and its great versatility of use, it should be easy to see a number of places to incorporate SuperCarb™ into your diet and supplement regimen. But, in case you can’t, we have done so for you:

1. Workouts and competition: Perhaps the most obvious use is as a substitute, or an addition to your workout drink. It is the ultimate carbohydrate to add to your SyntheSize, NO, BCAA, and or protein product or to make your own super-charged, performance-enhanced elixir. The steady, sustained glucose delivery will be unsurpassed for muscular endurance, energy, and recovery.

Recommended usage is 20-30 grams per hour of activity. For instant glucose delivery, one part maltodextrin or table sugar can also be added to 2-3 parts SuperCarb around periods of intense exercise.

2. Lean/Clean Bulking: What a perfect carbohydrate to add to MRP’s and other foods when bulking, to avoid the excess fat gain associated with dirty bulking. Being ultra-low GI, it will help you minimize the fat gain and the sluggishness that occurs with compared with using lesser carbs and fatty foods to help you meet your extra calorie needs.

SuperCarb's versatility makes it perfect for any feeding, but our recommendation is 30g, 4X per day with meals. Use no more than 50g at one time or 200g per day.

3. Dieting: It does not get much better for dieting than an ultra-low GI carbohydrate that tastes, feels, mixes, and cooks like sugar. Decreased hunger and cravings… better maintenance of metabolic rate… increased fatty acid utilization… and you can make cookies with it!

Recommended usage is 50-200g per day, divided up as desired.

4. RedBull™ type of product: Glucose is far and away the brain’s favorite fuel source. It loves it, it needs it, it thrives on it. SuperCarb™ provides a perfect, long-lasting stream of glucose. Enough said. No, one more thing: AMP™ + HEAT Stack™+ SuperCarb™ = RedBull's Daddy™

Recommend usage is 20-30g every two hours.

5. Anywhere that you use sugar: Or maltodextrin. Use SuperCarb™ with coffee, cereal, oatmeal, Kool-aid™, Jello™, meal replacement powders, and so much more. Along with SesaLean™ (and protein powder), this really helps make for some great dessert options from brownies, to cake, cookies, to pudding. I’m going to try to make marshmallows with it this weekend. [Note: insert links to the recipes here?]

Recommend usage is as needed.

6. Low-carb dieters: We challenge you to find a more effect means to supplement your Low-CHO diet than with an addition of SuperCarb. Since you have learned to avoid carbohydrates proceed with caution as you fall head-over-heels in love with this one. As was covered, SuperCarb™ avoids basically all of the normal pitfalls of carbohydrates, from the glucose and insulin response, to the triglyceride response, to the triggering of bingeing. So, you can learn to love them once again. Consume as desired.
