Q for the nutitionists

Someone has told me about a new carbohydrate product. I would like to paste their claim here and get some feedback.

A patented enzymatic process that creates a low osmolar rice-based electrolyte formula. The process also creates a product that possesses a variety of chain lengths to only 20 grams of glucose in other oral electrolyte products, because glucose is a single, larger molecule. The carbohydrate carries amino acids and electrolytes into the system. Thus the large glucose molecule, in solutions like “the famous sports drink” takes longer for the stomach to digest. The HRS enters into the bloodstream faster than the glucose (dextrose and/or maltodextrin). In one study HRS was 60-80 minutes into the bloodstream before the dextrose drink. The product is instantized thus that means it goes right into solution without a shaker cup or blender and has a fair taste.

Do you have the reference to that study?

I’ll pass this to the nutricionist I work with to see what he thinks.

No, I cut that from their website. I can send you the url if you like. email me and I will

What for, you think I can’t use google? :wink:

I think it’s BS - endurance athletes don’t need some super-high-glycemic supplement. It would be terrible for training and for recovery there are plenty of cheap ways to get high-glycemic carbs into your body (how about a bagel and a gatorade?)
