Maltodextrine is a polycarbohydrate derived from grain. Itis made from wheat starch by partial enzymatic hydrolysis. Itis created by uniting of five glucose molecules (glucose is monocarbohydrate that is main energy source for our body). The advantage of this uniting is more gradual glucose release. Maltodextrine is gradually broken down in human intestine into glucose molecules. These are fluently absorbed then and ensure stable glycaemia rising. Fast glycaemia changes as result of higher amount of simple sugar intake cause alternation of hunger and fullness feelings. This way of energy supply is not good for athletes. Uniting of a few glucose molecules into short chain of maltodextrine is much better. You can use it before the exercise, during and after the training.
it is not sweet
it is immediately soluble thanks to aglomerization
it is excellent source of carbohydrates for athletes and for physically active adults
