What other uses does Maltodextrin have?
Even if you are not looking to gain weight, maltodextrin is still a very popular choice post-workout taken alongside protein and other nutrients. This is because it is digested easily and creates an ‘insulin spike’ which shuttles nutrients to the muscle cells faster than if those nutrients were simply taken on their own. As a carbohydrate, maltodextrin is also useful for the serious bodybuilder or athlete during carb cycling.
