Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is a form of long chain carbohydrate made from corn, rice, tapioca, maize, wheat or potato starch and is easily soluble in water which is important for its’ palatability. Maltodextrin is commonly added to food to enhance sweetness and texture. Maltodextrin can be either in liquid or powder form. Maltodextrin is often used in many foods (including sports drink and energy gels) as the source of carbohydrate.
VPA®Maltodextrin is in a powder form and made from corn, rice and potatoes. The product is made by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis, uses water, enzymes and acids to break the starch into small pieces, which results in a white powder consisting of sugar molecules. Basically, it involves extracting and isolating the starch from the corn, rice or potatoes and creating a powder.
Maltodextrin is quickly absorbed by the gut and it can elevate blood sugar faster than glucose. Although the general rule is that a diet comprised of high glycaemic carbohydrates can be unsatisfactory, consuming a product such as maltodextrin powder does play an important role in sports performance and recovery.
Maltodextrin can be used by anyone who wants to get the most out of their training, accelerate their progress towards their goals or gain weight. Maltodextrin is often used by endurance athletes, however it can be used by bodybuilders, strength athletes, those who enjoy HITT or Bootcamp, as well as those who hit the gym to stay fit.
There are several benefits of Maltodextrin powder.
Maltodextrin promotes muscle repair post-workout as it increases the release of insulin that facilitates the influx of sugars and amino acids into muscle cells.
Maltodextrin delivers fast energy during exercise as it is quickly absorbed by the gut and increases blood sugar levels fast.
Maltodextrin is great for additional weight gain or as a meal replacement as it is a highly absorbed complex carbohydrate that is calorie-dense.
Here at VPA®we believe that our Maltodextrin powder has little to no taste but it is considered to have a hint of sweet flavour to it.
