Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar in an assortment of foods such as honey, fruit and vegetables. It is highly recognised within the sport industry as a low glycemic index carbohydrate, often scoring between 35-45 on the glycemic index. It is sweet in taste and a great alternative to squash in sports beverages.
Low glycemic index allows the controlled release of insulin to the bloodstream e.g. glucose and sucrose. This is beneficial for athletes, sports persons or individuals looking to achieve a constant supply of energy throughout a grueling workout. Fructose is a popular supplement for triathlon, running and endurance competitors.
Intense or long periods of endurance exercise often lead to muscle fatigue and depleted glycogen stores, carbohydrates such as fructose assist in the recovery and restoration of muscle functions. To obtain maximum results we recommend 4g per kg of body weight, within 4-6 hours at varied dosages throughout training.
Fructose is recommended for individuals that wish to increase carbohydrate consumption, or those involved in endurance based or high intensity exercise.
It is often mixed with other carbohydrates such as maltodextrin or dextrose. This is so the glycemic index is varied to support energy requirements at different times and reduce depletion levels for optimum performance.
