For the body system: Muscles
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5
Carbohydrate blends are scientifically validated as a support for the muscles body system, particularly in the context of exercise and physical performance. Carbohydrates serve as a primary energy source for skeletal muscle during moderate to high-intensity exercise. Numerous studies have demonstrated that consuming carbohydrates before, during, and after exercise enhances glycogen stores in muscle tissue, delays fatigue, and improves both endurance and recovery. The American College of Sports Medicine and other authoritative bodies recommend carbohydrate intake as a key nutritional strategy for athletes and active individuals to optimize muscle function and performance. Carbohydrate blends—combinations of simple and complex carbohydrates—are often used to ensure both rapid and sustained energy delivery to muscles. Research supports the use of such blends for promoting muscle glycogen resynthesis post-exercise, which is critical for muscle recovery and subsequent performance. The evidence base includes randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and consensus statements from sports nutrition organizations, all reinforcing the role of carbohydrates in muscle health and exercise performance. Therefore, the use of carbohydrate blends to support the muscles body system is strongly supported by scientific evidence.
