Maltodextrin

A short-chain starch sugar used as a food additive; a polysaccharide compounded of dextrin and maltose, produced from starch, used as a food additive and in some health and beauty products; Maltodextrin is also sometimes taken as a supplement in powder form by bodybuilders and other athletes, as it is a quickly digestible carbohydrate that supplies the body with enough energy to engage in protein synthesis after workouts. It may be made from maize and other grains, and it is sometimes made from GMO grains. Dragon Herbs uses only non-GMO corn in the production of maltodextrin, which is used in a few of its powders.
