Maltodextrin is an oligosaccharide that is known in the world of nutritional supplements as a beneficial source of energy for athletes and physically active people , but also as a food substance. It is created by combining glucose (dextrose) molecules , which is a simple sugar that serves as the main source of energy for the human body. Maltodextrin usually consists of three to seventeen glucose units and is prepared by enzymatic processing of starch. It is a high-quality carbohydrate derived from corn starch and provides an excellent source of rapidly absorbed energy.

Gym Beam's maltodextrin is a special mixture of sugars that are broken down into glucose, even in the digestive tract, and therefore do not cause digestive difficulties . This is also because the bonds in maltodextrin are very weak, after its consumption they break down very quickly and this is how simple glucose is created. Its advantage is that it provides the exhausted body with the necessary dose of energy to achieve maximum performance. It is an ideal source of energy not only during physical exertion, but also during a supercompensation diet or a regimen aimed at optimal recovery of muscle glycogen before, during and after any sporting performance. It is well soluble in water.

Why use maltodextrin? We recommend using maltodextrins to increase energy intake, and because it is a complex of complex sugars, immediately after administration, it continuously delivers glucose into the bloodstream, thanks to which it properly replenishes glycogen. Maltodextrin is gradually broken down in the intestine into individual glucose molecules, then absorbed and ensures a stable increase in blood sugar levels. The body of an active athlete needs nutrients to improve performance and proper development, and therefore it is necessary to provide them to the body.
