Maltodextrin?

[ed2005]

Just got myself one huge mofo tub of Maltodextrin as it was the only size there was. Can I use it at any other time outside of PW? I'm looking to cut fat as well as build muscle.

I wouldn't....

Think of it as flavorless sugar.

The problem with maltodextrin is that you don't know how long the molecule is. Therefore you won't know the rate at which it's absorbed.

Thanks Mak. If I were to do football/circuit training etc would it be good to use before that or even before golf or evening cardio? Just thoughts.

I used to take it PWO. Now i take dextrose, make sure you dont start taking malto for meal replacement MRP's. Eat whole food as much as poss.

Maltodextrin is chains of dextrose held together with very weak bonds, thereby making it digest only slightly slower than dextrose. Good read here:
