Rich Pianna was a big fan of eating real whole foods over taking supplements whenever possible, and it's with that in mind Real Carbs was created. Real Carbs is made from real whole foods using slow digesting low glycemic carb sources like sweet potatos, oats, yams, and blueberry fruit powder. This allowed 5% Nutrition to pack in 22 grams of carbs per serving with only 2 grams of sugar.
