Maltodextrin- good or bad?

Snake · 24-01-2005, 10:38 PM

Is this stuff gonna encourage insulin spikes and pile on the pounds of fat?

Unsure if this is a simple sugar similar to sugar or if its actually a complex carb????

Only use it post workout. It is absorbed as quickly as dextrose

its a high GI sugar

good for post-workout, not so good at other times of the day

It has been a staple ingredient of mass builder products for years and only recently been getting bad press.

I use it in my post workout drinks, its very effective and not sickly sweet like glucose or dextrose powder.

I use it just before, during and after workouts and it works well for me
