CarbUP – Sweden's best carbohydrate product 2026 | Cluster Dextrin™, Carb10® & GlycerSize™
CarbUP is not your average carbohydrate product – it is a precision-engineered energy formula featuring three patented carbohydrate sources and GlycerSize™ for athletes who want to perform at their peak throughout their entire workout.
With a neutral flavor that mixes easily with IntraUP, CarbUP is the ultimate intra-workout partner for maximum energy, pump, and recovery.
Why are carbohydrates crucial for training?
Carbohydrates are the body's primary fuel source during intense exercise. When glycogen stores are depleted, you may experience:
- Severe fatigue and energy crashes mid-session
- Reduced muscle performance and strength
- Slower recovery after training
- Decreased ability to build muscle
Refueling with the right carbohydrates at the right time is crucial – and that is exactly what CarbUP is designed for.
CarbUP's formula – ingredient by ingredient
1. Cluster Dextrin™ – Rapid energy without blood sugar spikes
Cluster Dextrin™ is a premium form of cyclic dextrin with a unique molecular structure that allows it to pass through the digestive system quickly and absorb efficiently. This means rapid energy delivery to the muscles without the blood sugar spikes and crashes associated with common simple carbohydrates. The result: steady and long-lasting energy throughout the entire session. Read more about Cluster Dextrin™ →
2. Carb10® – Stable and long-lasting energy
Carb10® is a patented form of complex carbohydrates from peas with a low glycemic index. It releases its energy more slowly than typical carbohydrates – keeping blood sugar levels stable and providing sustained energy during long and intense sessions. Read more about Carb10® →
3. Fructose – Optimizes glycogen storage
Fructose is a natural carbohydrate source that is metabolized via a different pathway than glucose – meaning the body can absorb and store more carbohydrates in total per hour. Combining fructose with Cluster Dextrin™ and Carb10® maximizes glycogen replenishment and provides an extra boost of energy when you need it most.
4. GlycerSize™ – Pump, hydration, and performance
GlycerSize™ is a high-quality form of 65% glycerol with a powerful osmotic effect. It draws fluid into the muscle cells – resulting in a visible and tangible pump, improved cellular hydration, and increased muscle volume during training. Read more about how GlycerSize™ impacts pump and hydration →
How to take CarbUP?
Dosage: Mix 1 scoop with 400–500 ml of water.
Timing: During the workout (intra-workout) or directly after (post-workout) for rapid glycogen recovery.
The ultimate intra-workout combination
CarbUP is best combined with IntraUP – mix both in the same shaker for a complete intra-workout drink with carbohydrates, EAA, Skydrive†, and electrolytes. Read more about IntraUP and why the combination is so effective →
Stack correctly:
- Before the session: AmpitUP – Pre-Workout for energy, focus, and pump
- During the session: CarbUP + IntraUP – the perfect combination
- After the session: WheyUP or IsoUP for protein recovery
- Extra hydration: HydraUP – Electrolytes – read about electrolytes and hydration
