Starch produced from grain containing the sugars maltose and
dextrin. A complex carbohydrate that is used in many ergogenic
aids (sports drinks, carbohydrate gels, and energy bars) because
it is easily digested. a short chain of molecularly linked
dextrose (glucose) molecules, and is manufactured by regulating
the hydrolysis of starch A long chain of glucose molecules
(carbohydrates) that provides sustained energy without sharply
increasing insulin levels. Essentially a chain of molecules of
the simple sugar glucose linked together. There are an average
of seven glucose molecules linked together to form a
maltodextrin molecule. An easily digestible blend of complex
carbohydrates from corn starch. Maltodextrin contains "glucose
polymers" which are linked sugar compounds that are easy for the
body to assimilate and use. a glucose polymer that exerts lesser
osmotic effects compared with glucose; used in a variety of
sports drinks as the source of carbohydrate. A natural sugar
from grain that helps consistency..
