VPA Maltodextrin 1kg — Product Overview

Maltodextrin is a fast-digesting carbohydrate made from corn starch with short glucose chains (DE 10–19). It’s less sweet than sugar, mixes smoothly, and is ideal for intra or post-workout fueling and rapid glycogen replenishment.

  • Fast carb source for training & recovery
  • Low sweetness, smooth texture — easy to stack
  • Great for endurance bottles or weight-gain shakes
Unflavoured 100% Pure Vegan Friendly Gluten Free 1kg Bag
Form Fine powder
Taste Neutral, very mildly sweet
Mixability High (cold/room-temp water)
Typical Serve 20–50 g*

*Approx. 20–50 serves per bag depending on scoop size.

Why Use Maltodextrin?
  • Rapid glycogen reload: Quickly absorbed carb polymers ideal after intense sessions.
  • Gentle on gut: Lower sweetness and good gastric emptying make it popular for endurance.
  • Custom carbs: Add exact grams to your shakes with no flavours or thickeners.
  • Dextrose alternative: Similar speed with a less sweet taste and lighter mouthfeel.

Stack idea: 25–50 g Maltodextrin + 25–30 g WPI + 3–5 g Creatine post-workout.

FAQ

Maltodextrin vs dextrose?
Both are rapid carbs. Maltodextrin is less sweet with a lighter taste and is popular for intra-workout bottles; dextrose is single-sugar (slightly sweeter).

Does it bloat?
Most people find it easy on the stomach when diluted well. Adjust dose and fluid volume to preference.

Suitable for endurance?
Yes — it provides steady energy and mixes clearly with electrolytes/aminos.

Will it change flavour?
Very mildly; it’s close to neutral and won’t overpower your stack.
