Glycogen

Glycogen is a type of carbohydrate that serves as a key energy reserve in our bodies. It's primarily stored in the liver and muscles, where it's ready to be broken down into glucose when energy is needed, such as during exercise or between meals. Glycogen acts like a quick-access fuel source, allowing our bodies to maintain energy levels. When we consume carbohydrates, our body converts excess sugar into glycogen for storage. This process is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and providing energy during physical activities.
