Athletes are always seeking new ways to improve their performance. Nutrition plays a very important role, especially carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates supply the muscles with energy. You need about 60% carbohydrates in your daily food and fluid intake. Carbohydrates are used immediately as fuel (e.g. during exercise) or are stored as glycogen in the muscles as fuel for later. An increased intake of carbohydrates will enhance your performance considerably.

Maxim sports products will deliver you the right type and right quantity of carbohydrates at the right moment.

Before exercise:
Use 3 spoons Maxim Energy Mix with your pre-exercise meal and consume this at least 3 hours before you start exercising. You can mix the powder with warm and cold drinks as well as liquid meals such as porridge, milk or yoghurt or liquid additives to meals such as pasta sauce. Dissolve 1 scoop of powder on every 250ml drink or each meal.
If you prefer a liquid meal based on water, mix 3 scoops of powder with 750ml water in a bottle. Shake well until the powder has dissolved. This is a neutral flavoured drink to which, when preferred, a flavour can be added, for example by adding syrup. Consume this carbohydrate rich fluid at least 2 hours before exercise.
