Charge Palatinose™

Yamamoto® Nutrition Charge Palatinose™ is a powdered food supplement formulated for healthy adults, designed for use after intense and prolonged workouts that cause muscle fatigue and deplete glycogen stores in skeletal muscles. Its key ingredient is isomaltulose (Palatinose™), a carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose, derived from sucrose through enzymatic conversion. Naturally present in small amounts in honey and cane sugar syrup, isomaltulose is fully digestible but absorbed more slowly than common sugars due to its stable alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

This slower digestion results in a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream, promoting stable blood sugar and insulin levels. Unlike conventional fast-absorbing sugars, isomaltulose has a low glycemic index, reducing the risk of energy crashes and minimizing the stimulation of insulin and triglyceride production. It is well tolerated by the gastrointestinal system and presents a lower osmolarity than traditional carbohydrates like glucose or fructose, further reducing the risk of digestive discomfort during and after exercise.

Isomaltulose has gained strong recognition in endurance sports such as cycling, athletics, triathlon, and cross-country skiing. Its ability to provide sustained energy without glycemic peaks makes it a superior alternative to older sugar blends like fructose, glucose, or maltodextrins. Once ingested, isomaltulose is broken down into glucose and fructose—just like sucrose—but at a slower rate, leading to more efficient energy utilization and prolonged support for muscle function.

Charge Palatinose™ is a continuation of Yamamoto® Nutrition’s commitment to cutting-edge carbohydrate solutions, following the success of highly branched cyclic dextrins (HBCD). With its stable energy release, reduced risk of glycemic crashes, and high gastrointestinal tolerance, Charge Palatinose™ is a next-generation fuel source ideal for athletes looking to optimize performance and recovery.
