Myoplex Carb Sense Nutrition Bars were designed specifically to offer a meal supplement or snack for those who wish to avoid taking in excess carbohydrates. Packed with high-quality protein your body needs to repair and support lean body mass, Myoplex Carb Sense Nutrition Bar delivers:
- 30g high-quality protein
- Convenient and great-tasting meal or snack
- Only 2g of impact carbohydrates (exact amount depends on flavour)
'Impact carbs' are carbohydrates which may affect blood glucose levels, and these are very low in Myoplex Carb Sense Bars. In contrast, 'non-impact carbs' have very little effect on blood glucose levels and therefore are not significant for those following a low carbohydrate diet. While these carbs provide a sweet taste to the bar, for the most part the body cannot metabolise non-impact carbs, which means these carbs are ideal for those looking to lose fat.
Myoplex Carb Sense Bars are high in FOS and glycerol. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS; oligofructose) are a type of fibre found in a variety of common plants, fruits, and vegetables. Although you may extract it from any of these sources, the most common source used in supplements is derived from chicory root, due to its high concentrations of FOS. FOS are powerful prebiotics which help our 'good bacteria' in our gut to digest our food.
Glycerol is classified as a sugar alcohol, which technically would qualify it as a carbohydrate. However, once in the body, glycerol is rarely used as a source of energy; typically it will pass through unchanged, or your body may use it as a carrier for fatty acids. Both of these ingredients, technically speaking, are carbohydrates. However, the body cannot break down FOS, and glycerine is preferentially used for functions other than energy production in the body. As such, it is not currently required that these particular ingredients be included in the carbohydrate totals. However, both compounds do contain calories, thus the FDA requires that we add these ingredients into the caloric totals of the products into which they are added (even if the body cannot, or is unlikely to use them for energy).
