RE: [RC] Carbo loading - Mcgann, Barbara

We have sucessfully used Tom's Glycogen Loader.  Now, mind you, we are not 
"competitive" and tend to ride mid-pack or even back of pack (due to rider 
limitations, rather than horse).   We start giving it at the first vet check, 
and continue at each check throughout the ride.  We also continue to give 
several doses AFTER the ride is over.   No scientific research to report, but 
we have been pleased with how much faster the horses recover after the ride and 
how quickly they are back to "normal" weight.

==========================================

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.
