Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Palatinose (isomaltulose) is a low-glycemic carbohydrate derived from sucrose, used increasingly in sports nutrition due to its unique metabolic profile. Scientific studies have demonstrated that Palatinose is digested and absorbed more slowly than conventional sugars like sucrose or glucose, leading to a more gradual and sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream. This results in lower insulin responses and more stable blood sugar levels during exercise, which is particularly beneficial for endurance athletes.

Research, including randomized controlled trials, has shown that when consumed before or during prolonged exercise, Palatinose can promote higher rates of fat oxidation compared to high-glycemic carbohydrates. This metabolic shift may help preserve muscle glycogen stores, potentially delaying the onset of fatigue. Some studies also suggest that Palatinose can maintain cognitive function and mood during extended physical activity due to its sustained energy release.

However, while these metabolic advantages are well-documented, the direct impact of Palatinose on athletic performance outcomes such as time to exhaustion or race times is less consistent. Some studies report modest improvements, while others show no significant difference compared to standard carbohydrates. Overall, the evidence supports its use as a functional carbohydrate source for athletes seeking stable energy and improved substrate utilization, but more research is needed to confirm clear performance benefits.
