By Safi Madain BS, CSCS | Contributing Author | Based on Safi’s article “Is it Goo for you?”
The Goo. Does this stuff really work while running? Some brands claim to give boosts of energy, while other brands claim to replenish energy sources. But is this supplement replenishing the right energy sources and can it accomplish such a feat in a feasible amount of time?
Let’s take a look at some facts about carbohydrate digestion and energy storage. Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth by an enzyme called amylase. The enzyme gets mixed around in the mouth while we are chewing. When the carbohydrate bolus (the ball of stuff formed from chewing) is swallowed, it sits in the stomach for about 30 minutes to two hours before it is passed on into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). The amount of time depends on if it is a complex or a simple carbohydrate, if it is a liquid or solid, and what else it is consumed with. Carbohydrates are not digested in the stomach because the enzymes required to digest carbohydrates are not active in the low pH environment of the stomach. It takes about another 30 minutes to an hour to digest carbohydrates in the small intestine and convert the sugars into glucose, and about another 30 minutes to an hour to absorb the glucose and store it for energy (liquid digestion and absorption is done at about half the time). We are looking at a minimum of 1 hour of digestion, absorption into the blood, and absorption into muscle tissue before energy is made available. The Goo will probably sit in the stomach for about 45 minutes to an hour before it is passed on to the small intestine because it is not a complete solid and it is not exclusively carbohydrate.
