Strom Sports CarbMax 1.5kg 50 Servings

Strom Sports CarbMax – The Smart Intra-Workout Carbohydrate for Sustained Performance

Not all carbohydrates are created equal. The kind that spike your blood sugar, cause a mid-session energy crash, and leave you running on empty by the final set are not the kind in CarbMax.

Strom Sports CarbMax is built around Palatinose® (Isomaltulose) — a patented, naturally sourced, low-glycaemic carbohydrate with a GI of just 32, compared to 65+ for maltodextrin and 70+ for glucose. Combined with an electrolyte complex, Glycerol Monostearate for cellular hydration, and Citrulline Malate for blood flow support, CarbMax is engineered to fuel every stage of your session — from the first rep to the last — without spikes, crashes, or digestive discomfort.

Available in four flavours — Cherry, Cotton Candy, Lime Citrus, and Raw (unflavoured) — with Raw designed specifically to mix cleanly with any EAA, protein, or supplement without flavour clashing. This is what intelligent intra-workout carbohydrate supplementation looks like.

Key Benefits

Sustained, Stable Energy — No Spike, No Crash

The centrepiece of CarbMax is 25,000mg of Palatinose® per serving — a full 25g of the most intelligently designed carbohydrate in sports nutrition. Palatinose® is derived from sugar beet through an enzymatic process that restructures the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose, creating a carbohydrate that is digested slowly and absorbed gradually throughout the entire small intestine.

The result is a prolonged, steady release of energy into the bloodstream — with significantly lower blood glucose peaks and insulin responses compared to regular sugar, maltodextrin, or other high-GI carbohydrate sources. Research published in peer-reviewed journals has confirmed Palatinose® supports stable blood sugar levels during exercise, greater fat oxidation, and sustained energy delivery throughout prolonged training sessions.

Important note on the nutrition label: Palatinose® (Isomaltulose) is technically classified as a sugar on standard nutrition panels — which is why CarbMax shows 25g of sugars per serving. However, it behaves entirely differently from standard dietary sugars. With a GI of 32 and a slow, sustained digestion profile, it does not cause blood sugar spikes or energy crashes. The "sugars" figure on the label reflects its classification, not its metabolic effect.

Four-Mineral Electrolyte Complex for Hydration & Performance

Intense training depletes electrolytes rapidly through sweat — and when electrolyte balance is disrupted, performance, muscle function, and hydration all suffer. CarbMax includes a dedicated four-mineral electrolyte complex per serving:

• Sodium (104mg) – the primary electrolyte lost through sweat; critical for hydration, fluid balance, and muscle contraction
• Potassium (30.6mg) – works in concert with sodium to regulate fluid balance, support nerve function, and prevent cramping
• Magnesium (18.4mg) – essential for muscle relaxation, energy production, and reducing exercise-induced cramping
• Calcium (2.96mg) – plays a key role in muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission

This electrolyte complex ensures the cellular environment needed for maximum muscle function and hydration is maintained throughout the entire session — making CarbMax a true performance intra-workout drink rather than just a carbohydrate supplement.

Glycerol Monostearate for Cellular Hydration & Muscle Fullness

At 500mg per serving, Glycerol Monostearate adds an osmolytic dimension to CarbMax's hydration profile. Glycerol draws water into muscle cells, creating a state of cellular hyperhydration that supports visibly fuller muscles, improved endurance, and a reduced rate of dehydration during prolonged or high-intensity training. Combined with the electrolyte complex, it creates a comprehensive internal hydration system that works at both the cellular and systemic level.

Citrulline Malate for Blood Flow & Nutrient Delivery

2000mg of Citrulline Malate supports nitric oxide production and vasodilation, enhancing blood flow to working muscles during training. This means better delivery of the Palatinose®-sourced glucose and electrolytes to the muscles that need them most — improving both the efficiency of CarbMax's energy substrate and the overall pump experience during the session.

What Is Palatinose® and Why Does It Matter?

Palatinose® (Isomaltulose) is a carbohydrate derived from sugar beet, developed by BENEO and backed by decades of clinical research. Unlike standard sports carbohydrates such as maltodextrin or dextrose — which are rapidly absorbed, spike blood glucose, and cause corresponding insulin responses followed by energy dips — Palatinose® is absorbed slowly and uniformly throughout the small intestine.

Key properties supported by clinical research:

• Low Glycaemic Index (GI: 32) — provides the same caloric energy as regular sugar but with a dramatically lower impact on blood glucose and insulin
• Sustained glucose release — maintains stable blood sugar levels throughout prolonged training sessions
• Supports fat oxidation — the low insulin response associated with Palatinose® allows greater fat utilisation as a co-substrate during exercise, sparing glycogen for when it's needed most
• Fully digested and absorbed — unlike some other functional carbohydrates, Palatinose® is completely absorbed in the small intestine, providing full caloric energy without gastrointestinal side effects
• Tooth-friendly — Palatinose® does not support the oral bacteria that cause tooth decay, unlike standard sugars

How to Use

Mix 1 scoop (30g) with 500–700ml of water and consume during training (intra-workout).

• 1 scoop — suitable for moderate-intensity sessions, those on lower-carbohydrate diets, or as a starting dose
• 2 scoops — ideal for high-volume or high-intensity training sessions lasting 60–90 minutes
• 3 scoops — suited to endurance athletes, prolonged training sessions, or those with higher daily carbohydrate targets
• The Raw (unflavoured) variant mixes seamlessly with EAAs, BCAAs, creatine, or any other supplement without competing flavours
• Can also be used pre-workout for sustained energy delivery into the session, or post-workout to support glycogen replenishment
• Adjust water volume to preferred taste concentration — more water for a lighter drink, less for a stronger flavour
• Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed

Who Is It For?

Strom Sports CarbMax is ideal for:

• Gym-goers and athletes who want sustained intra-workout energy without blood sugar spikes or crashes
• Endurance athletes — runners, cyclists, swimmers — who need long-lasting carbohydrate fuel across extended sessions
• Anyone who has experienced the mid-session energy dip from high-GI carbohydrate products and wants a smarter alternative
• Those following performance nutrition protocols who want to support glycogen levels without disrupting insulin sensitivity
• Athletes who stack multiple supplements and want an unflavoured carbohydrate option (Raw) that won't interfere with their existing flavour stack
• Anyone looking to increase training volume, session length, or overall performance output through intelligent intra-workout fuelling
• Vegans and vegetarians looking for a fully plant-based intra-workout carbohydrate supplement

The Result

More sustained energy. Better hydration. Greater blood flow. Fewer crashes. More reps.

CarbMax is what happens when you stop treating intra-workout carbohydrates as an afterthought and start treating them as the performance tool they are — built on the most clinically supported slow-release carbohydrate available, with electrolytes, glycerol, and citrulline to optimise everything around it.

Fuel it properly. Perform accordingly.
