ATP Lab Pentacarb 1.1kg
ATP Lab Pentacarb 1.1kg — 5-Source Carbohydrate Blend for Performance and Recovery
Pentacarb is ATP Lab's precision carbohydrate formula — 26g of carbohydrates per serving from 5 distinct sources, each with a different molecular weight and absorption rate, combined with 100mg magnesium and 100mg potassium per serving for electrolyte replacement. From rapidly absorbed dextrose to slow-digesting Cluster Dextrin® (highly branched cyclic dextrin), Pentacarb is engineered to deliver sustained fuel without the osmotic stress and GI discomfort associated with single-source carbohydrate formulas.

Why 5 Carbohydrate Sources Are Better Than One
- Multi-phase absorption — different carbohydrate sources have different molecular weights and gastric emptying rates. Dextrose (fastest), rice maltodextrin, potato maltodextrin, waxy maize, and Cluster Dextrin® together provide a sustained delivery curve that avoids the blood sugar spike-and-crash of single-source carb formulas
- Cluster Dextrin® (HBCD) — a highly branched cyclic dextrin with extremely low osmolality, meaning it clears the stomach rapidly without drawing water into the GI tract — the mechanism that causes bloating and GI discomfort with simpler carb formulas during training
- Gluten-free waxy maize — a high-amylopectin starch that replenishes glycogen efficiently post-workout
- 100mg elemental magnesium + 100mg elemental potassium — essential electrolytes lost through sweat, replenished per serving to maintain nerve function, muscle contraction, and hydration during extended exercise
- Gluten-free, non-GMO sources — clean carbohydrate sourcing without common dietary allergens
Best For / Not Ideal For
Best for: Endurance athletes (cyclists, runners, swimmers, crossfitters) who need intra-workout carbohydrate fueling, post-workout glycogen replenishment for rapid recovery, or anyone in a bulking phase who needs extra carbohydrate calories without fat. Also excellent for mixing into protein shakes to hit higher caloric targets.
Not ideal for: Athletes on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, or those who don't engage in prolonged or high-intensity training sessions where glycogen depletion is a relevant performance concern.
