There are four carbohydrate fuel sources and lactate plus caffeine from natural green tea. Carbohydrate foods are identified as having a significant impact on fuel for your muscles during exercise. If the body doesn’t have enough carbohydrates, protein is broken down to make glucose for energy.

• Lactate - Approximately 1/3 of your total carbohydrate energy is from lactate, the rest is from blood glucose and muscle glycogen. Lactate is the body’s preferred fuel over glucose. Your body will use lactate first. The more lactate you use during exercise, the less muscle glycogen you have to use, which means your glycogen stores will last longer and this equates to more energy.
• Dextrose is a simple sugar chemically identical to glucose and is made from corn. Because dextrose is a simple sugar, the body can quickly use it for energy.
• Maltodextrin is an easily digestible carbohydrate made from rice, corn or potato starch. Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate perfect for extended energy usage.
• Sucrose is table sugar and made from sugar cane or sugar beets. Sucrose is a simple carbohydrate that occurs naturally in every fruit and vegetable. Because sucrose is a simple carbohydrate, the body can quickly use it for energy.
• Organic Sweet Potato is many times called one of the world's healthiest foods. It’s a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese and over a dozen other vitamins and minerals. Sweet potato also has powerful antioxidants like anthocyanin and carotenoids that have anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Caffeine from Natural Green Tea Extract. There is 45 mg per scoop of caffeine from natural green tea extract in Fuel-5+. Two scoops equal 90 mg or approximately one cup of coffee.
