GLYCOGEN is our "Premium grade" fuel. It is the fuel of intensive efforts, stored in the muscles and liver. GLYCOGEN + OXYGEN = ENERGY Glycogen is always bound to water: 1 g of glycogen binds 2.7 g of water. The body can store up to 600 g of glycogen. It is therefore not an endless reservoir and its limits are quickly reached, forcing the athlete to slow down. Glycogen is derived from carbohydrates: Sugar, fruits, bread, rice, cereals, potatoes, etc. It takes 48 hours to renew your stock of glycogen, but reconstitution is slower in case of lipid intake. |
