[RC] Carbo loading - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: ti Tivers@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I'm thinking it was carbohydrate-loading.  I've never heard of Carbo 
Charge.....how long has it been on the market?  Maybe that would give me an 
idea; the incident occurred many years ago.

CarboCharge was a product I developed for Vita-Flex, no longer being 
manufactured. My Glycogen Loader (GL is similar, and Advanced Glycogen Loader 
(AGL) is the racehorse product.

Loading differs from during-race supplementation. We load racehorses, but we 
supplement endurance horses. To put it simply, if you maintain an elevated 
blood glucose during a race, your horse will not "bonk".  The whys and 
wherefores are discussed in my book.
