1. What is CarboX 1000g Naturel and what does it do?
CarboX 1000g Naturel is a fast-absorbing carbohydrate powder for during training or carb-loading — dextrose + maltodextrin blend — Natural flavour.
Dominant ingredient: Dextrose + Maltodextrin blend. 15 servings = 15 days' supply at 1/day.
CarboX combines dextrose (fast sugar, high glycaemic index) with maltodextrin (complex polysaccharide, quickly digested). Result: fast energy release plus a somewhat more sustained effect. A standard endurance building block.
2. Who is this suitable for?
For athletes (18+) who want fast energy replenishment during or around training.
- Endurance athletes during long sessions (>60 min)
- Triathletes, marathon runners, cyclists
- Strength athletes during high-volume sessions
- Carb-loading the day before a competition
- Post-workout glycogen replenishment
NOT suitable for: children under 18 without supervision, diabetes (high glycaemic — consult your doctor), keto/low-carb diet, non-trainers (unnecessary).
3. What do carbohydrates do?
NO specific EFSA health claim — carbohydrates described as an energy source.
Described action:
- Fast-absorbing carbohydrates as an energy source during exercise
- Glycogen replenishment post-workout
- High glycaemic index for immediate availability
- Mix of 2 carbohydrate types for a more stable release
For prolonged exercise (>60 min): 30-60g of carbohydrates per hour is recommended by sports nutrition experts.
4. How do I take it?
Daily dose: 1 serving (~65g) per training session, in 500-750 ml water.
- 1 serving = ~65g powder with the included scoop
- Mix in a shaker/bottle with 500-750 ml water
- Drink during training (sips every 10-15 min) or post-workout
- Pre-workout: 30-45 min before
- For longer sessions: 30-60g carbs per hour is the recommendation
5. When is it best?
During training (intra-workout) is optimal. Also suitable pre-workout (30-45 min before) or post-workout (glycogen replenishment).
6. With or without food?
During training or just before — not with a solid meal.
7. How long before I notice results?
Acute: energy within 15-30 min after intake. Cumulative: better training tolerance over weeks with a consistent carb strategy.
8. Which form?
Dextrose + maltodextrin blend in a flavoured drink powder.
- Dextrose (glucose): fastest absorption, high GI (~100)
- Maltodextrin: fast complex carb (GI ~85-95)
- Flavoured variant for compliance during training
- 100% vegan
- No fat, no protein — pure energy
9. How does it differ from other carbohydrate sources?
Comparison of carbohydrate types:
- CarboX (this product): dextrose+maltodextrin — classic standard, cost-effective
- Cyclic Dextrin: premium carbohydrate, gentler on the stomach — see separate product page
- Fructose: different metabolism, can be mixed with glucose for 2x absorption (Jeukendrup)
- Honey / liquid sugar: natural alternatives but less targeted
10. How many carbohydrates per serving?
Per serving (~65g): ~60g carbohydrates, ~240 kcal, 0g protein, 0g fat.
11. Scientific research?
Sports carbohydrates have been widely researched:
- Burke et al. (2017) — carbohydrate strategies for endurance
- Jeukendrup (2014) — multiple transportable carbs (glucose+fructose)
- Stellingwerff & Cox (2014) — carb-loading meta-analysis
- EFSA Panel — carbohydrates generally recognised as an energy source
12. Side effects?
Generally well tolerated during training:
- Stomach discomfort if mixed too concentrated (keep below 8% concentration)
- Sugar spike in non-trainers — only use during/around training
- Risk of tooth decay with prolonged contact (rinse with water after intake)
13. Who is better off not using this?
Do not use if:
- Children under 18 without supervision
- Diabetes (high glycaemic — consult your doctor)
- Keto / strict low-carb diet
- Non-trainers (unnecessary calories)
14. Pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Not specifically needed — get carbohydrates from food. Consult your midwife if you do intensive sport during pregnancy.
15. From what age?
From 18 years without sports medical supervision.
16. Combining with medication?
Consult your doctor if you use:
- Diabetes medication (insulin, metformin) — a high-glycaemic product can affect glucose
- Steroids — can affect glucose response
17. Combining with other supplements?
Goes well with: EAAs during training, electrolytes (Na/K), creatine, caffeine (pre-workout). Classic endurance stack: carbohydrates + electrolytes + EAAs during long sessions.
18. Allergens?
Contains:
- Dextrose
- Maltodextrin
- Natural flavourings and flavour compounds
- Citric acid as pH regulator
Free from:
- Gluten
- Soy
- Milk and dairy
- Lactose

19. Vegan/vegetarian?

21. Independently tested?
Yes. CoA via coa@suppstore.com — EAN: 5999076227020.

24. What if I forget a day?
Just carry on the next day — no problem.
Endurance and mass supplementation works cumulatively over training weeks. One missed day has minimal effect.
25. What about shipping, returns and warranty?
14-day statutory right of withdrawal. 90-day returns on unopened products. Opened jars/bags can only be returned in case of product defects (hygiene). Support: support@suppstore.com.
