Best NON-PWO carb supplement?

terryd5150 · Nov 28, 2006

I'm looking to add some calories to my diet from carbs and was wondering what carb supplements would work best for this.

Obviously, since I'm not looking for a post workout carb source I need something that doesn't spike blood glucose levels but instead gives more of a steady release.

I'm not looking for exact brands, unless one of the sponsors sells it, but I'm looking to be steered in the right direction as far as what kind of carb would work best for this purpose (for example: dextro, malto, or whatever).

I thought that was best used PWO? I've got a great PWO routine, I'm looking for something I can consume throughout the day.

I would get a few cliff bars they are sold at almost every grocery store and health food store now. their 200-250 cal 50g carbs and 10g of protien. another bar that is good are laura bars made from fruit and nuts i think, they are higher gi but a very aesy way to get some extra calories.

rice oligodextrin,

Product Description:
Rice Oligodextrinis made from whole organic rice by a mechanical and enzymatic process which retains a portion of the native rice protein. Adding Rice Oligodextrin to your routine will aid in oral rehydration, control osmolality, and is an excellent product to add if you are bulking.

Body Building and Athletic Supplementation Description

Rice Oligodextrin should be used by persons wanting a low glycemic carbohydrate source. Rice Olgidextrin is a great alternative to maltodextrin (which is a high GI carbohydrate). Oligodextrin will not cause a great insulin spike. Thus it makes it a great carbohydrate source for meal replacement powders and weight loss MRP’s.

Thanks GhostDog!! never head of this before.
