Bros! Maltodextrin is a polysacharide. It is low glycemic! Use sucrose or glucose (dextrose) post-workout. It is one of the worst carb choices for post-workout.

It's High Glycemic. This is based on white bread=100.

Fructose 32
Lactose 65
Honey 83
High fructose corn syrup 89
Sucrose 92
Glucose 137
Maltodextrin 137
Sugar, White 142
Glucose tablets 146
Maltose 150



It's slow release, assimilation rates follow

dextrose=1min
fructose=10min
maltose=30min
maltodextrin=60-120 min

It's not a good choice for carb-up. It is better suited for pre-workout and morning meal, to provide sustained energy. It safe for hypoglycemic people to use, and it won't spike insulin levels which can lead to hyperglycemia(diabetes) later in life (or sooner).

When taking simple sugars in large quantities, eat plenty of protein and complex carbs at the same time to preven fluctuating sugar levels and decreased energy.

I can't believe this is still hanging around. Well, you have two choices, use a simple sugar like dextrose that is best for promoting an insulin response (they use it for glucose tolerance tests) or choose maltodextrin which someone posted has a Glycemic index of 137 and yet it has a slow release of 60-120 minutes I know what I'm doing.

Use the dextrose! It's the better of the two. If you can't get any, try grape juice post-workout. It's great!!

dextrose post wrk out
malto other shakes (morning afternoon)
dextrose to deliver creatine and protein faster to body for recovery post wrk. out.

with a name like Stiffler your post-workout drink should consist of beer with a dash of protein.

Where's the proof??? I've been using Malodextrin for about a year in my shakes (post and regular) and I've seen much better results from the Malo. then the Dextrose. And when i say much better, i mean much better. I've tried two differant kinds of Dextrose and neither of them worked they way Malodextrin did.
