SUMMARY
We review Dymatize Carb Complete, a newer product which is full of complex carbohydrates, claiming to provide long-lasting energy.
OUR REVIEW
One of the main factors involved in weight training, bodybuilding or exercising is having the right amount of energy to effectively complete your workout session. If you're not consuming the proper amount of carbohydrates you will find your workout sessions being far more difficult to complete. The best energy sources are those that contain complex carbohydrates, as they give you the long-lasting energy you need to sustain you throughout your sessions. Dymatize Carb Complete is one such carbohydrate supplement that claims to give you the energy levels that you need before and after your workout sessions.
Taste
While many carbohydrate supplements on the market today are available in flavours that make them easy to consume, this particular product is what's known as tasteless. Its complex carbohydrate formula comes in a powder form that they recommended you mix into juice or your favourite beverage. Its lack of flavouring puts it at a disadvantage to others carb supplements that come in various flavours. However the advantage being that you can combine this with a protein powder without altering the taste.
Ease of Mixing
In the past, supplements that came in powder form usually formed lumps when mixed without a blender. However, this is not true for most carbohydrate supplements today, and the same holds true for this product. Two scoops of this powder will dissolve easily in just about any beverage that you decide to mix it with. Being easily dissolvable means that you do not need to have a blender in order to mix this product thoroughly. The advantage to this is that you can use this supplement just about anywhere by either shaking it in your favorite sports bottle or stirring it into your beverage of choice.
Effectiveness
Just as with any other product that you purchase today, it is important to follow the recommended manufacturer’s instructions when using this carbohydrate supplement. The purpose of this product is to provide you with a consistent level of energy that will last you throughout your entire workout session. Dymatize Carb Complete uses a complex carbohydrate formula that effectively delivers its ingredients in a slow steady manner, giving you the desired energy levels that you are seeking. Complex carbohydrates are the recommended type of carbs for long-lasting and sustained energy. The main active ingredient in this product is maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate that helps athletes perform better and last longer in response to the physical demands that are placed on them.
Nutritional Analysis
This product is designed to provide you with a supplement of complex carbohydrates that will provide you with the sustained energy you need to accomplish your physical endeavours. It is not chock-full of protein, fats, sugars, or any other fillers that some other products contain. Its main ingredient is maltodextrin, and its main purpose is to provide you with energy. As an energy supplement this product gives you just what you need and nothing else, it does not give you your daily requirement of vitamins and minerals, nor does it give you your required daily dose of amino acids. However, it does provide you with some of the cleanest complex carbohydrates that you can consume and it does so without the addition of other ingredients that you do not need.
Value for Money
When compared to other carbohydrate supplements on the market, Dymatize Carb Complete falls in the median range of value for money. There are other products out there that are more expensive that do the same job and there are other products that cost less and claim to give you the same results as this product. This supplement is moderately priced, and the results that you achieve from using it will be worth it when used accordingly.
Overall
All in all, Dymatize Carb Complete is an excellent choice for athletes and exercise enthusiasts of all ages and levels. It's tasteless, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on your requirements. While it does fall in the median range price wise, it is still a good quality complex carbohydrate product - and quite a unique one at that.
