Why doesn’t maltodextrin release insulin?
Maltodextrin is not a sugar. It is a small complex carbohydrate that doesn’t trigger the release of insulin. When do I give Glyco-Gen Energy Shakes? Glyco-Gen Energy Shakes should be given within 30 minutes of exercise. A second dose 45-60 minutes later may provide additional benefit to a very exhausted dog. In addition, if a dog tends to get exhausted during work, a half-dose given 15-20 minutes before work could prove helpful.
