So, what is maltodextrin%?
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate made from corn, rice, or potato starch. It's commonly used as a thickener or filler in processed foods, such as snacks, sauces, and drinks. Maltodextrin has a neutral taste and dissolves easily in water, which makes it a popular ingredient in sports drinks and energy gels. However, it's also known to have a high glycemic index, which means it can spike blood sugar levels quickly. While maltodextrin is generally considered safe, individuals with diabetes or other health conditions should consume it in moderation.
