La dextrine cyclique devient le meilleur choix dès que la digestion est votre facteur limitant sur des efforts de plus de 90 minutes, ou quand il faut faire passer beaucoup de glucides dans peu de liquide.

Below sixty minutes of exercise, taking carbohydrate during the session does little for someone who has eaten normally beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits stomachs that are sensitive during exercise particularly well, the ones that tolerate neither gels nor very sweet drinks. That is in fact its whole reason for existing, and the only argument on which it genuinely stands apart from an ordinary maltodextrin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for children, adolescents and pregnant or breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, and asks that the recommended daily dose not be exceeded. The product may contain traces of gluten, eggs, milk, fish and soya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it: this is carbohydrate, nothing else. It has no stimulant effect, does not replace electrolytes in a sweaty session, and provides no amino acids. Nor does it make you lose weight — it adds 95 kcal to your day, which is its function. If you are in a calorie deficit and your session lasts forty minutes, this product is working against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCyclic dextrin or maltodextrin, which should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are carbohydrates derived from starch, both serve the same purpose, and there is a real difference between them — a more modest one, however, than the market would have you believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maltodextrine\"\u003eMaltodextrin\u003c\/a\u003e is markedly cheaper per kilo and perfectly effective at rebuilding stores after exercise.

It is the better choice if you have already experienced heaviness or digestive discomfort with a carbohydrate drink, and on efforts lasting several hours where you have to drink regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a third route, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waxy-maize\"\u003ewaxy maize\u003c\/a\u003e, halfway between the two in price as in behaviour.

Pure maltodextrin is slightly sweet and neutral; this cyclic dextrin, sweetened, goes down better for many people over the course of a long ride. Over three hours on the bike, drinking something you can stomach counts for more than the finer points of the molecule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much carbohydrate is in a serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24 g of carbohydrate for 95 kcal, in a 25 g serving. What makes it distinctive is the “of which sugars” line, which reads 0 g: the energy comes from a complex carbohydrate rather than from simple sugars, which changes how the drink is tolerated during exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy mix it into 400 to 500 ml?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause that is the volume that gives the drink a concentration close to that of the body's own fluids, the condition for it to leave the stomach quickly. One serving in 250 ml cancels out that advantage and brings the product back down to the level of an ordinary sugary drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain sweeteners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ingredient list declares sucralose and acesulfame K, even though other parts of the manufacturer's documentation present the powder as a single-ingredient product. We go by the ingredient list. Neither of these two sweeteners provides calories or appears in the sugars line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you take it after training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, within the 30 minutes that follow, as the manufacturer allows. For that particular use, however, a far cheaper maltodextrin will do the same job: the advantage of cyclic dextrin plays out during exercise, not after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for weight training sessions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn long, intense sessions, yes, drunk during the session. On an hour-long session for someone who ate two hours beforehand, the intake is superfluous and simply adds 95 kcal. The criterion is how long the effort actually lasts, not the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo ingredient of animal origin appears in the list: the dextrin comes from maize starch and both sweeteners are synthetic.

In cold weather you sweat less and can go more concentrated: the manufacturer mentions 60 to 80 g per litre. In hot weather, what you mainly need is to drink: drop to 20 to 40 g per litre and increase the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn weight training, the 75 g serving in 500 ml during the session makes sense on long, high-volume workouts. On an hour of strength work it is probably superfluous: over that duration your glycogen stores are enough, and another 297 kcal in the day is not neutral if you are watching your weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor recovery, the classic combination remains carbohydrate plus protein.

All of it comes from waxy maize starch, rich in amylopectin. That is the carbohydrate equivalent of roughly 100 g of dry pasta, in liquid form and with no bulk in the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it taste sweet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot very. The product contains no sugars, only sucralose and acesulfame K in small amounts, plus an acidity regulator. The resulting drink stays light in taste, which is an advantage on long efforts where very sweet drinks end up becoming sickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you need to add electrolytes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as soon as the effort drags on and you are sweating. The nutrition table shows 0 g of salt: this powder supplies fuel, not minerals. On a long ride or in hot weather, add an electrolyte product or a pinch of salt to your bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore, during or after training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are provided for, but the most worthwhile use is during efforts of more than sixty minutes and immediately after an intense session. Before exercise, taking it 30 minutes beforehand works; on a short session, by contrast, the intake is of little interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with a protein?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is in fact the most common pairing for recovery: carbohydrate and protein in the same shaker after the session. It is also the basis of a home-made gainer, generally cheaper and more adjustable than a ready-made mass gain product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water per serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500 to 700 ml for 75 g of powder. Below 500 ml, the drink becomes concentrated and sits heavily on the stomach during exercise. In hot weather, increase the volume further or cut the powder: it is digestive comfort that decides, not the theoretical serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this product make you put on weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides 297 kcal per serving, so yes, if you add it to a diet that already covers your needs. That is precisely its value during mass gain and its main drawback during a cutting phase. Use it according to your goal, not out of habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy IO Genix WaxyMaze?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tub can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

A 50 g serving does not meet that condition: we therefore claim nothing on that front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you take Olimp Carbonox?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer specifies \u003cstrong\u003eone 50 g scoop in 100 to 200 ml of water\u003c\/strong\u003e, to be mixed vigorously for at least \u003cstrong\u003e10 seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e. The recommended amount is \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 4 servings a day\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on training intensity and body weight — that is 95 to 190 g of carbohydrate a day from this product alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree timings are proposed: \u003cstrong\u003e30 minutes before\u003c\/strong\u003e training, \u003cstrong\u003eduring\u003c\/strong\u003e the session in small sips, and \u003cstrong\u003eimmediately after\u003c\/strong\u003e. No course length is given by the manufacturer, and there is no reason to set one: a carbohydrate powder is taken according to training load, not as a course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on dilution. Fifty grams in 100 ml gives a very concentrated solution, which slows gastric emptying and troubles a lot of athletes during exercise. If you are drinking the mix while running or cycling, go beyond the 200 ml stated and dilute in 500 to 700 ml. The manufacturer's range suits a single drink after the session better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Carbonox for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is aimed at adults whose training load is genuine: long sessions, back-to-back workouts, endurance sports, or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/prise-de-masse\"\u003ebulking\u003c\/a\u003e where calorie intake from solid food becomes hard to sustain. If you train for an hour three times a week, a 192 kcal serving of fast carbohydrate serves no purpose and simply adds to your calorie balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states clearly that the product is \u003cstrong\u003enot suitable for people with diabetes\u003c\/strong\u003e. It \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as for the \u003cstrong\u003eunder-18s\u003c\/strong\u003e, and reminds you not to exceed the daily serving. It is made in a factory that handles milk, eggs, soya, nuts, peanuts, gluten, fish, crustaceans and molluscs: traces are possible. Any question relating to a medical treatment or condition belongs with your doctor or your pharmacist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: this is not a weight loss product, quite the opposite. Nor is it a meal replacement, despite the vitamins: 0.5 g of protein per serving feeds nothing. And it is not a pre-workout, it contains no caffeine. Finally, no promise about how long the energy lasts can be kept: the rate at which you empty your stores depends on intensity, on what you have eaten that day and on your training, not on the composition of a powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbonox or a plain maltodextrin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question is a genuine one, because the price gap per kilo of carbohydrate is significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plain \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maltodextrine\"\u003emaltodextrin\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice when you are consuming large volumes of carbohydrate, when you want to control your intake precisely, or when you are already taking vitamins elsewhere — Carbonox's 20 % of the NRV then adds to what you are swallowing on the other side, and the benefit melts away. It is also preferable if you are mixing your carbohydrate with a protein or with amino acids in the same bottle: the fewer flavourings and acidifiers there are, the better the mix behaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbonox holds its own when you want a ready-to-use drink that is pleasant to swallow, and when the vitamin content replaces a multivitamin you are not taking. If it is digestive comfort on very long efforts that concerns you, look instead at \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/cyclic-dextrin\"\u003ecyclodextrin\u003c\/a\u003e, whose osmolarity is more favourable, or at \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waxy-maize\"\u003ewaxy maize\u003c\/a\u003e.

The ingredients list puts the carbohydrate blend first, with the maltodextrins named before glucose and then isomaltulose, which indicates descending order of quantity without giving weights. We are not going to estimate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many 50 g servings can you take a day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to four depending on training intensity and body weight, according to the manufacturer. That comes to 95 to 190 g of carbohydrate and 384 to 768 kcal from this product alone. Count them in your daily balance: this is energy, not a neutral supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Carbonox suitable for people with diabetes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer says so explicitly, and the composition confirms it: 47.5 g of carbohydrate per serving, of which 12.5 g sugars. No multi-source formulation changes that figure. If this concerns you, the question is one for your doctor, not for a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the nutrition table change with the flavour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe published values apply to the range; only the colours vary with the flavour, as the ingredients list indicates. The flavours listed are Strawberry, Lemon, Orange, Pineapple and Grapefruit. The two sweeteners, acesulfame K and sucralose, are common to all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Carbonox contain gluten?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo gluten-containing ingredient appears in the composition, but the factory also handles gluten, as well as milk, eggs, soya, nuts, peanuts, fish, crustaceans and molluscs. If you have coeliac disease, this risk of traces should be taken seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many vitamins and minerals are actually quantified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen vitamins out of the twelve present in the ingredients list, and six minerals out of the eight. Vitamin D, pantothenic acid, iodine and molybdenum appear in the composition with no content declared. That is a shortcoming of the label, not an omission on our part, and it makes any claim for those four nutrients impossible to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with a protein?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with no known interaction, and combining carbohydrate with protein makes sense after a long session. Just be aware that Carbonox's acidifiers, malic acid and citric acid, can alter the texture of a whey. A neutral maltodextrin mixes more cleanly if that is your main use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould it be taken during or after exercise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are proposed by the manufacturer. During exercise, dilute generously — 500 to 700 ml rather than the 200 ml stated — to avoid the digestive discomfort of an over-concentrated solution. After exercise, the tighter dilution poses no problem since the drink is swallowed in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Olimp Carbonox?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page lets you order the flavours, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

Because maltodextrin is a polymer: its chains are too long to fall within the regulatory definition of sugars, which counts only mono- and disaccharides. In glycaemic terms, on the other hand, it behaves like glucose, with an index higher than that of table sugar. That is worth knowing before presenting it as a “sugar free” product: nutritionally, it has all the metabolic effects of sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second point that counts is the \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete neutrality\u003c\/strong\u003e. No flavouring, no sweetener, no additive, no preservative. That means two things in practice. First, it does not disturb the taste of any preparation, which lets you add it to a whey, a porridge or a training drink without changing anything. Second, it is very faintly sweet on the palate but stays bland on its own: drinking it in water with nothing else is a fairly thankless experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo health claim exists for maltodextrin, and there is nothing to expect from it beyond what it is: a supply of fast carbohydrate, clean, with no fat and no protein.

Few brands publish this figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 96 g of carbohydrate but less than 1 g of sugars?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the regulations count only mono- and disaccharides as sugars. Maltodextrin is made of longer chains, which do not fall within that definition. In metabolic terms, on the other hand, it behaves like a fast carbohydrate, with a glycaemic index higher than that of table sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much should you dilute it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 g in 400 to 500 ml of water, that is a concentration of 6% to 8%.

The mix alters neither the taste nor the texture of the protein, maltodextrin being neutral.

That is the real benefit of this raw material, and it is a digestive one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is the price: cyclic dextrin is markedly more expensive per kilo than a maltodextrin or a waxy maize.

That is a lot, and we will not endorse it. Beyond roughly 60 g per hour from a single carbohydrate source, the body no longer oxidises the surplus and the excess stays in the digestive tract: that is the recipe for gastric trouble in a race. The protocols that go higher combine several sugars using different transporters, which is not the case here. Stay in the 40 to 60 g per hour range and you will already be well served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a weight training session, 50 g before or after is more than enough. For an effort of more than 90 minutes, the manufacturer suggests 15 to 30 g every 45 minutes, which is sensible.

In a period of deficit, that is exactly the sort of thing you should avoid adding out of habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNor is it of much interest in an hour-long weight training session for someone who eats normally: your glycogen stores comfortably cover that effort.

Nor is it a complete isotonic drink, for want of sodium. And the digestive comfort it delivers, real though it is, does not replace sensible dosing: drinking 120 g of any carbohydrate in an hour of racing will end badly, whatever the molecule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCluster dextrin or maltodextrin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the comparison that decides the purchase, and it comes down to a question of budget against comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional maltodextrin does the same job in energy terms: it is a glucose polymer, with a high glycaemic index, that reloads glycogen just as effectively. It costs two to three times less per kilo. If you use it in recovery, after the session, at home, with no particular digestive constraint, there is no objective reason to pay more: our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maltodextrine\"\u003emaltodextrin\u003c\/a\u003e aisle is the rational choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCyclic dextrin makes sense when digestion is the limiting factor\u003c\/strong\u003e: during exercise, at high concentration, on long rides, or simply when your stomach has already let you down once in a race.

For an ordinary weights session, your glycogen stores are more than enough, and drinking 100 kcal during training simply adds 100 kcal to your day.

The first: \u003cstrong\u003efructose\u003c\/strong\u003e, which uses a separate intestinal transporter and allows more carbohydrate to be absorbed per hour over a long effort. The second: \u003cstrong\u003epalatinose\u003c\/strong\u003e, which spreads the intake and avoids the spike-then-slump.

Glucose and fructose travel via separate intestinal transporters, which means combining the two allows more carbohydrate to be absorbed per hour than relying on a single source. Palatinose, being slower, spreads the intake over time. Over a two-hour effort, that split has a real benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you really need 750 ml of water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is what separates an exercise drink from a shake. At 750 ml sipped across the session, the carbohydrate concentration stays low and the stomach copes. In 300 ml downed in one go, the same 25 g becomes uncomfortable during exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain gluten?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The barley starch that forms the base of the cyclic dextrin supplies it, and the manufacturer declares it as an allergen. People with coeliac disease must avoid it. This is a point on which this formula differs from most cyclic dextrins in the aisle, which are usually made from maize or tapioca starch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many servings are in the tub?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixty servings of 30 g for 1.8 kg. At three long sessions a week, that covers around five months. It is a size that only makes sense if you regularly string together efforts of more than an hour and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with EAAs or with protein?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer advises taking them separately. Mixing a carbohydrate drink and an amino acid source in the same bottle slows gastric emptying and increases the risk of discomfort during exercise. If you take both, alternate the mouthfuls rather than the bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain enough electrolytes for a session in summer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe cannot say: the amounts of coconut water and pink salt are not published. The manufacturer suggests adding electrolytes itself, depending on weather conditions and how heavily you sweat, which suggests the baseline intake stays modest. On a long effort in real heat, plan for a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for an hour-long weights session?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot really. Over an hour of weights, your glycogen stores comfortably cover the effort, and drinking an extra 100 kcal brings nothing beyond 100 kcal.
