<< Hi:
 
 OK... I finally have some carbo product to work with.  For those of you who 
are experimenting with it, do you use it on long training rides?  If so do 
you give a dose before you start out, or just every two hours or when?  I 
tasted it and it tastes nice, just ever so slightly sweet.  Supposedly easy 
to feed to the horse.
 
 The only drawback is the Carb Load i have doesn't have chromium as we are in 
Canada with gov't restrictions.  Should I add my own chromium (which kind? 
and how much?) or just try the product without chromium?
 
 Tell me what you guys think. >>


I believe the chromium is important. You need 3.5mg per 4 oz of long-chained 
sugar. Use Glocose Tolerance Factor chromium (chroium polynicotinate). 
Available at health food stores.
