BodyWorld
Maltodextrin 1000 g

BodyWorld Maltodextrin is 100% maltodextrin, a carbohydrate derived from wheat, maize or rice starch that serves as a quick source of energy before, during and after training. Thanks to its high glycaemic index and rapid absorption, it helps replenish muscle glycogen immediately and maintain performance during physical activity. It is mainly used in endurance sports such as running or cycling, but also in strength training to support recovery after strenuous exercise.

The recommended serving is 50 g (1 and 3/4 scoops) mixed in 250 to 350 ml of water. For optimal glycogen replenishment, it is recommended to drink it within 4 hours after exercise and no later than 6 hours after finishing training. A 1000 g pack contains 20 servings, lasting approximately 20 days at one serving per day. The exact amount can be adjusted according to the intensity and duration of training.

Thanks to its rapid absorption and high glycaemic index, maltodextrin can be taken before, during and after training. Before and during exercise, it provides a steady supply of energy and delays fatigue; after training, it helps quickly replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores. For the best recovery results, carbohydrates should be consumed within 4 hours of intense activity and no later than 6 hours after it ends.

According to the manufacturer, the product does not contain allergens. Although maltodextrin is made from wheat, maize or rice starch, the manufacturing process removes the protein components, including gluten, so the finished product has no declared allergens. It consists exclusively of maltodextrin, with no fat, protein or salt. However, people with a high sensitivity to residual traces should check the specific starch source directly with the manufacturer.

Yes, BodyWorld Maltodextrin is suitable for vegans and vegetarians because it contains only a plant-based carbohydrate derived from starch, with no animal ingredients. The product contains no protein, fat or other ingredients of animal origin, making it a pure carbohydrate supplement. It is therefore suitable for athletes following a plant-based diet who need a quick source of energy to replenish glycogen before, during or after training.

Maltodextrin is generally well tolerated and gentle on digestion, without placing a burden on the stomach even during intense training. If consumed in excess or mixed into an overly concentrated drink, it may cause bloating or digestive discomfort in more sensitive individuals, as with other carbohydrate sources. It is recommended to follow the serving guidance of 50 g in 250–350 ml of water and adjust total carbohydrate intake to body weight and training intensity (up to a recommended 4 g per kg of body weight per day).

Maltodextrin and dextrose are both rapidly absorbed carbohydrates with a high glycaemic index, but they differ in molecular structure and taste. Dextrose is a simple sugar with a distinctly sweet taste, whereas maltodextrin consists of longer glucose chains and has a neutral taste, making it easier to mix with protein powders or other supplements without affecting the final taste of the drink. BodyWorld Maltodextrin provides 47.5 g of carbohydrates and 190 kcal per 50 g serving, without added sweetness.

Maltodextrin is a pure carbohydrate source without protein or fat (0 g protein and 0 g fat per serving), whereas a mass gainer combines carbohydrates with protein and often fats or creatine. If you only need a quick energy and glycogen boost without additional macronutrients, maltodextrin is a more flexible and cheaper option per gram of carbohydrate. A mass gainer is more suitable if you want to combine carbohydrates and protein in one product to support weight gain.

Yes, maltodextrin has a neutral taste and dissolves easily in water, making it practical to combine with protein powders, BCAAs or other supplements. Combining carbohydrates and protein after training supports muscle recovery and glycogen replenishment. The recommended 50 g serving of maltodextrin can easily be mixed with a serving of protein in the same shaker without changing the final taste of the drink.

The product is unflavoured and has a neutral taste that does not interfere with the taste of other drinks or supplements it is mixed with. This is particularly useful when mixing it with protein powders, fruit juices or other flavoured supplements, where a pronounced sweet taste from maltodextrin could make the resulting drink unpleasantly overpowering. Its neutral taste also makes it suitable for those who do not like overly sweet carbohydrate drinks.

A 1000 g pack contains 20 servings of 50 g. At one serving per day, for example after training, the pack will last approximately 20 days, or less than a month of regular training. With more intense exercise or when taking a serving both before and after training, consumption will increase accordingly and the pack will run out sooner.

One 50 g serving contains 190 kcal, 47.5 g of carbohydrates (of which 3.8 g are sugars), 0 g of fat, 0 g of protein and 0 g of salt. The low sugar content relative to the total amount of carbohydrates is typical of maltodextrin, which consists primarily of longer glucose chains rather than simple sugars. These values make the product a pure, concentrated source of energy without unnecessary additives.

Thanks to its rapid absorption and high glycaemic index, maltodextrin is versatile and suitable for both types of training. In endurance sports such as running or cycling, it provides a longer-lasting supply of energy during exercise, while in strength training it helps quickly replenish glycogen and support muscle recovery after intense exertion. The recommended total carbohydrate intake for this purpose is 4 g per kilogram of body weight per day from all sources.
