Each serving of Z2 Power Powder contains 84g of the exclusive Z2 carbohydrate blend: maltodextrin, fructose, and palatinose, in a 1:0.8:0.2 ratio, developed to optimize the absorption of high amounts of carbohydrates, minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort and maximizing your performance.
Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate produced from starch and can be derived from various sources, such as corn, potato, cassava, and rice. Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide (formed by glucose molecules) with a high glycemic index and is easily digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal system.
Fructose is a simple carbohydrate found mainly in fruits, vegetables, and honey. With a low glycemic index and rapid hepatic absorption, it can increase the rate of carbohydrate absorption and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort when consumed along with glucose during physical activity.
Isomaltulose is a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in honey and sugarcane, but primarily extracted from sugar beets. Isomaltulose has a low glycemic index and is composed of a bond between glucose and fructose, resulting in a fully digestible carbohydrate. With a slower absorption rate compared to glucose and fructose alone, it is able to provide sustained energy without glycemic spikes.
