Energy reserves for the musculature
For a high-performance musculature
CarboPower is a high-quality energy concentrate specifically developed to optimally replenish the energy reserves in the muscles of racing pigeons in preparation for competitions. The product is tailored to the unique muscle structure and metabolism of pigeons, which predominantly consists of red muscle fibres.
Red muscle fibres have a small diameter, are rich in myoglobin (red muscle pigment), and contain a very high concentration of mitochondria, where aerobic energy production takes place. These fibres are extremely well supplied with blood, use energy very efficiently, and recover faster after heavy exertion than white muscle fibres.
Musculature – training – oxygen demand
By training intensively before the start of the racing season, energy production within the muscle fibres can occur faster and more efficiently. Well-conditioned pigeons have an increased metabolism and are therefore better able to continuously supply their muscles with energy. A well-trained musculature functions more efficiently and ensures improved utilisation of available energy reserves.
The pigeon’s oxygen demand is exceptionally high:
-
At rest, a pigeon consumes approximately 5 times more oxygen than a human
-
During flight, the metabolism increases by up to 10 times
This highlights how crucial the rapid and efficient transport of fatty acids (energy carriers) and oxygen from the blood to the muscle cells is for performance. The faster this process occurs, the more energy the pigeon can burn per unit of time and convert into flight performance.
Mode of action of CarboPower
CarboPower consists of 81% high-quality polysaccharides. These complex carbohydrates are extremely energy-rich and can be particularly well stored in the muscles as energy reserves. This makes CarboPower an ideal basis for maximum performance during races.
Due to its high energy values, CarboPower is best administered in combination with C-M-C (carnitine-magnesium complex) to ensure optimal energy utilisation within the muscle cells.
