Maltodextrin is a starch-derived carbohydrate. It is commonly found in foods for sports such as gels, drink mixes, and bars. It provides athletes with a sustained supply of glucose for energy to participate well in long activities. Maltodextrin is an easily absorbed form of carbohydrate. It is ideal for athletes who require instant and sustained energy. It is frequently mixed with other carbohydrates such as fructose to make it easier to absorb carbohydrates into the body. Athletes taking part in long events such as triathlons or cycling competitions tend to use energy products containing maltodextrin for energy.
