What is maltodextrin?

Its intake is recommended to replenish the levels of glycogen after training and also to maintain blood glucose and energy during long-term exercises (running, cycling), preventing fatigue from appearing, especially endurance sports.

The glycemic index is the ability of foods to increase blood glucose.

The maltodextrin It has a higher molecular weight than other carbohydrates: they are absorbed at a relatively high rate. They are available sooner and later, releasing glucose into the bloodstream to serve as a source of energy.

What benefits does maltodextrin provide?

• Helps recharge glycogen stores muscle, both before and after training, depending on when it is consumed.
• It is a carbohydrate easydigestion. It has a high molecular weight which facilitates rapid intestinal transit. Low osmolarity, does not cause stomach upset in athletes and / or sportsmen.
• Quick recovery after effort, thanks to the replenishment of spent carbohydrates.
• Helps maintain the level during prolonged efforts over time.
• Power and maximize performance in high intensity activities.
• It is suitable for celiacs: The variant obtained from starch does not contain gluten.
• Its taste is not as sweet as that of dextrose, but is rather neutral.

How to take maltodextrin?

You can use maltodextrin in smoothies, combine it with a source of protein, include it in your recipes, such as biscuits, pancakes, oatmeal, etc.

During the training:

Its consumption is convenient in intense physical efforts of more than an hour (cyclists, runners…) Taking maltodextrin during training postpones fatigue and improves performance.

after training: the maltodextrin Helps recover muscle and liver glycogen stores. Maltodextrin can be found in post-workout supplements because it has a high glycemic index and is quickly absorbed, helping to replenish the glycogen used during exercise.

In addition, carbohydrates such as maltodextrin, with a high glycemic index, favor protein synthesis thanks to the action of insulin.

How much maltodextrin is necessary to take?

Long duration and intensity training: if it exceeds 60 minutes in length. The carbohydrate source should provide between 30 and 60 grams of glucose per hour.

To enhance the replenishment of glycogen stores, it is recommended to consume about 8-10g/kg/day of carbohydrates together with 0.2-0.5g/kg of protein, in the following 30 minutes after exercising.
