Maltodextrin DE 18-20 Powder

Maltodextrin, Complex Carbohydrate, Unflavoured, 100% Pure Powder

 

What is Maltodextrin?

Maltodextrin is a white powder that is relatively tasteless and dissolves in water.  Maltodextrin is usually made from starchy food such as corn, potato, tapioca, or rice.  Although the powder comes from these natural products, it then undergoes processing.

To make maltodextrin, manufacturers put the starch through a process called hydrolysis.  Hydrolysis uses water, enzymes, and acids to break the starch into smaller pieces, resulting in a white powder consisting of sugar molecules.

It is an additive in a wide range of foods, as it can improve their texture, flavour, and shelf life.  In edible products, this powder can help by:

• thickening foods or liquids to help bind the ingredients together
• improving texture or flavour
• helping to preserve foods and increase their shelf life
• replacing sugar or fat in low-calorie, processed foods

Maltodextrin is a very easy-to-digest carbohydrate and can provide energy rapidly.  Due to this, you will find Maltodextrin powder added to many sports drinks, snacks and mass gainer protein powders.

 

Use & Benefits:

Maltodextrin is a fast-digesting carbohydrate which is ideal for bodybuilders and other athletes trying to gain weight.  Maltodextrin can be a good source of quick calories during or after a workout.

Bodybuilders and fitness fans sometimes use simple carbohydrates after hard workouts in order to restore the body’s glycogen (stored energy) and glucose (usable energy) levels.  Others may use it during exercise to improve endurance, enabling you to keep going during a longer cardio workout or HIIT session.

Post-workout, bodybuilders or athletes may choose to consume high-glycemic foods like maltodextrin to raise normal blood sugar and insulin levels in order to get carbohydrates to the muscle cells.

Some research suggests that carbohydrate powder in the form of maltodextrin is safe for healthy young athletes who use it for post-exercise glycogen resynthesis, assuming they have adequate glucose metabolism.

Since maltodextrin doesn’t use as much water to digest as some carbohydrates, it’s a good way to get quick calories without becoming dehydrated.  Some research also shows that maltodextrin supplements can help maintain anaerobic power during exercise.

People with chronic hypoglycemia take maltodextrin as part of their regular treatment.  Because maltodextrin causes a faster increase in blood sugar, it’s an effective treatment for those who struggle to maintain normal blood sugar levels.  If their glucose level gets too low, they have a quick solution.
