GlycoFuse – Rapid Performance & Recovery Carbohydrate

Carbohydrates can benefit you at a variety of times but with a carb like Glycofuse, it has a fast gastric emptying rate so we feel it is best used during training, though if you are looking to increase size it can be used Pre and Post Workout to add additional calories and carbs into your diet to fuel training and recovery respectfully.

No. Adding BCAA’s or EAAs is an excellent idea. 

During training, it is ideal to consume 25-50 grams of a fast emptying carbohydrate.

Gastric emptying is the rate at which food or liquid leaves your stomach and enters the small intestine for absorption. During training, your body diverts blood to working muscles, which slows digestion. A carb source with fast gastric emptying (like Cluster Dextrin) clears the stomach quickly, meaning less bloating, less nausea, and faster delivery of glucose to your muscles. Slow-emptying carbs like Maltodextrin force your stomach to compete with your muscles for blood flow, which can reduce performance and cause discomfort.

Yes. At 100 calories and 25g carbohydrates per scoop with zero sugar, GlycoFuse is one of the lowest-calorie intra-workout carb options available. If those macros fit within your daily targets, GlycoFuse can help you maintain training intensity during a calorie deficit by preventing the glycogen depletion that causes late-workout fatigue. On a strict cut, consider using it only on your hardest training days (legs, back, high-volume sessions) to get the performance benefit where it matters most.

GlycoFuse is a carbohydrate supplement by Gaspari Nutrition built around 25g of Cluster Dextrin (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) per scoop. It is designed to be taken before, during, or after training to replenish muscle glycogen, sustain energy, and support hydration. Each scoop provides 100 calories, 25g carbohydrates, zero sugar, and an electrolyte matrix with Calci-K, Coconut Water Powder, Dimagnesium Malate, and Pink Himalayan Salt. It is non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

Bloating and nausea during training usually happen because the carbohydrate source sits in your stomach too long, pulling blood away from working muscles to aid digestion. This is common with Maltodextrin and simple sugar-based products. GlycoFuse uses Cluster Dextrin, which has a very fast gastric emptying rate. That means it passes through the stomach quickly and is absorbed in the small intestine, reducing bloating and making energy available to your muscles faster without competing for blood flow.

Late-workout energy drops happen when your muscles deplete their stored glycogen faster than your body can replenish it. A fast-absorbing carbohydrate taken during training solves this by delivering glucose to working muscles in real time. GlycoFuse provides 25g of Cluster Dextrin per scoop, which empties from the stomach rapidly and becomes available as fuel within minutes. Sip it throughout your session starting after your first few working sets to maintain energy through the end.

For sessions lasting 60 minutes or longer (running, cycling, team sports, extended lifting), you need both fast-acting carbohydrates and electrolytes to sustain performance. GlycoFuse delivers 25g of Cluster Dextrin for glycogen replenishment plus an electrolyte matrix that includes calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and coconut water powder to replace minerals lost through sweat. Mix one to two scoops with 10 to 24oz of water and sip throughout the session. The unflavored option mixes easily with BCAAs or EAAs if you want to combine products.
