How is the form in which carbohydrates are transported?

Carbs are ingested through through several forms; simple carbs (the break down easily in your stomach, they provide a quick release of energy and have a short life span) come in the form of sugars (fructose in fruit for instance is a simple carb). Complex carbs take longer to break down in you stomach, but have a longer lasting effect on raising your energy levels (Potatoe's, Rice) these will raise your energy (not a high as Simple Carbs) but will provide a level of energy longer...simple would be a boost for 1/2

• 1 hour, complex would be a boost for 1-4 hours...
