This is not answering your question..and I am not trying to be a dick but it is a horribly planned out product..completely inferior. And the threw in HBCD for what? Makes no sense at all. HBCD is not meant to be in a blend of other carbs.

Yes this is 100% right. Its a blend so it could be 20% HBCD and 80% Waxy maize and I think that's what it is based on the texture. The reason I have 2 jugs is a ran out of glycofuse a while back and Carbonx was on sale for like $20 a tub (now I know why) so I just grabbed 2. As soon as I drank it once I knew it was shit.
I tried to use it again this summer just to get rid of it. I drank it pre and during bc I was using slin. I may as well have drank a chocolate milk shake made with whole milk and ice cream, I was that fucking bloated and full. I thought I was gonna fall asleep training.
That stuff ran through me like a raging river.......
Gave it to my adult son who didn't have the same problem.
Glycofuse is my choice. No GI distress at all. I tend to agree that Carbonx is an inferior product. VPX most likely phasing it out.
What amount of hbcd, eaa, bcaa etc?I gave up on carb based drinks. Most do not agree with my stomach but I ran Meadows HBCD intra protocol (with bcaa, eaa, elecrolytes, etc....) for the last year plus. I switched back to sandwiching my workouts with carbs ( blue berries, whey and 2 tbs pea ut butter 1-2 hours pre workout, BCAAs during, a banana immediately afterwards, then I shower, and then once done I drink a cup of ground oatmeal with approx 40g hydrolyzed protein) and really have not noticed any difference regarding putting on size, recovery, etc...
I know people swear by cardolean, glycofuse, waxy maize, dextrose, HBCDs, etc....and they are convenient, but I prefer the more whole food approach especially cause it does not tear up my stomach at all
