What are Glucose tablets used for?
Your body needs constant energy - most of it comes from the food we consume throughout the day.
Carbohydrates are especially important in this context, as they are broken down into glucose and distributed amongst the body's cells.
Glucorade contains the most basic form of sugar - "GLUCOSE" which is body's preferred source. Unlike fructose and sucrose, Glucose does not need to be broken down to be absorbed by the blood. The digestion process of glucose starts in the mouth itself. Thus, giving instant energy boost to your body in the time of need. Glucorade will help you reach your personal best or get the most of your day!
GLUCOSE TABLETS FOR SPORTS
Your body runs on glucose. Everything you do, from the simple stuff like getting up in the morning to more energetic activities like participating in a cross-country race, uses energy. We get glucose naturally from the food we eat, but you can get a boost of glucose on-demand using quick-acting glucose supplements (typically in chewable tablet form).
Read on to find out how you can support sports performance and your everyday activities with on-the-go with fast acting glucose tablets - GLUCORADE
WHAT IS GLUCOSE AND WHY DO I NEED IT?
Glucose is a form of simple sugar found in many fruits, nuts and vegetables. It is also the body’s number one source of energy. When we eat, the body transforms carbohydrates into glucose before it is transported in the bloodstream.
Glucose travelling through your bloodstream at any given time is known as blood glucose or blood sugar. The body needs energy to function. Your pancreas releases insulin which helps the cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream, feeding your brain, organs and muscles.
As we exercise, glucose is absorbed by the muscles via the blood steam. If there is not enough glucose or blood sugar the body usually doesn’t have enough energy to function properly. This is when we can feel tired and fatigued.
This can happen when we fail to eat properly, exercise vigorously or take certain medications. The presence of too much insulin can also affect our blood glucose levels. This is why people with diabetes need to take insulin shots as they are unable to manage the amount of insulin they produce.
GLUCOSE TABLETS IN SPORTS
Glucose is especially useful for medium to high-intensity exercises that require sustained levels of activity. It can enable athletes to sustain performance at a high level for longer by delaying fatigue.
This means that you can improve athletic performance by eating carbohydrates before exercising. You can also make use of Glucorade Glucose Tablets during exercise to elevate blood sugar levels.
Research has shown that dextrose, glucose found in glucose tablets, could significantly help sports performance.
GLUCOSE TABLETS IN SPORTS IS TRIED AND TESTED!
The benefits of using glucose tablets in sports were tested in an eight-week study of 31 women on a state swimming team. The researchers did this by timing each athlete as they swam around a typical sporting range to establish a baseline.
Next, they were asked to chew glucose tablets before and after every practice for eight weeks. Some of the tubes contained dextrose supplements while others contained placebo (another type of sugar). The athletes did not know which supplement they got.
Finally, they were asked to swim again at the end of the study to find out if there were any improvements. The researchers found that athletes in the dextrose/glucose group improved their swimming times by more than 15.2 seconds. This was 10 seconds faster than those in the placebo group.
