Glycogen loading is a fundamental strategy for maximising muscle fuel levels.

• Glycogen-loading causes preferential utilisation of carbohydrates. Since the ultimate goal is speed and speed ultimately requires maximal utilisation of carbohydrates, this works in the horses favour. It is glycogen that provides the fuel for muscle power generation.
• Glycogen supercompensation is greater if creatine and glycogen are loaded simultaneously. Enhanced sprint work has been reported after synchronised glycogen-creatine intake.
• Vitamin E inclusion supplies the anti-oxidants necessary to keep the system operational and maintain muscle integrity.

...The Rapid Energy Boost

HYGAIN® GLYCO LOADER® provides the horses body with what it needs - a well-conditioned muscle will work its best on the proper energy sources and will only keep working as long as the fuels hold out. In addition, it is safer and more beneficial to administer HYGAIN® GLYCO LOADER® than to increase grain intake.

Glycogen loading is a fundamental strategy for maximising muscle fuel supply and maintaining blood glucose levels - the foremost requirements for achieving sustained endurance performance and good recoveries.

A combination of specific chain-length sugars, anti-oxidants, muscle co-factors and creatine for attaining the supra-normal energy levels that underpin peak performance and stable blood glucose.

• Supplies key fuels for racing performance and endurance racing
• Boosts muscle and liver energy levels
• Increases 'run-time-to-fatigue' (Delays the onset of fatigue)
• Reduces recovery time & morning-after dullness
• Protects against muscle damage
• Promotes anabolic response to fast work
• Supplies glucose to the blood
• Aids in the prevention of metabolic failure
• Supports gut function
