Carbohydrates Guide: High Quality Carb Products

Carbohydrates are complex chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CH2O). Carbo-hydrates are the key source of energy (fuel) in the human body. Carbs contribute 4 kilocalories (kcal) per gram by weight. Carbs can be converted in the body into either glucose (desirable) or fat (undesirable).

Your body requires carbohydrates to burn fat. You typically store about 200 grams of carbohydrates in the muscles and another 90 grams in the liver. Your liver stores are used as fuel for the brain and typically remain untouched during times of muscular distress.

Carbohydrates are generally categorized as simple or complex and are more specifically classified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides.

Here you'll find the highest quality high-carb products on the market, hand-selected from each of our brands to produce awesome results!

NOTE: Below we list products that are primarily made up of carbs, but they may contain other helpful ingredients. Also, weight gainers usually contain a lot of carbs along with protein and more. They were not included in this listing though. View them here.
