Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate consisting of dextrose, maltose, maltotriose & higher polysaccharides & is made by controlled hydrolysis of corn starch. Although classified as a complex carb, its chain is very weak & breaks down much quicker than other complex carbs. Therefore it has a high glycemic index making it a fast acting source of energy, just a little slower than Dextrose.
However due to the many sacharides contained as a part of Maltodextrin they are digested a little slower than dextrose, therefore it is beneficial when carbohydrates are needed for long & steady durations when your performance will be challenged i.e during your workout or for when you want to raise insulin levels and shuttle in nutrients into your muscle cells.
N.B For a synergistic recovery effect combine Maltodextrin with Dextrose in a 50/50 ratio with a fast acting protein.
Mix 45g (one level scoop) of Maltodextrin into 500ml of water.
Best consumed during or after sustained strenuous exercise, to assist with energy, recovery and glycogen replenishment.
