Pure-Product Maltodextrin Powder is a complex carbohydrate made from either corn, rice or potato starch with a molecular chain shorter than other complex carbs. It is largely used by athletes because it provides quickly the right amount of energy during the exercise. It also replenishes stores of sugar in muscles during recovery after intense activity. It can be easily digested, so it doesn't slow down the body. Its high glycemic index helps to provide a constant level of energy in time, without creating spikes of drops of glycemia. It has also the characteristic to be not too sweet as other additives used to make sports supplements, so it doesn't leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth.
