Maltodextrin 1000 g

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

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

Because of its rapid absorption and high glycaemic index, maltodextrin can be taken before, during or after training. Before and during exercise, it provides a steady energy supply and delays fatigue; after training, it helps to quickly replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores. The best results for recovery are achieved by consuming carbohydrates within 4 hours after intense activity, and no later than 6 hours after completion.

According to the manufacturer, the product contains no allergens. Although maltodextrin is produced from wheat, corn or rice starch, the production process removes protein components, including gluten, so the finished product is free from declared allergens. The composition consists solely of maltodextrin, with no fats, proteins or salt. People with significant sensitivity to residual traces should, however, verify the specific starch source directly with the manufacturer.

Yes, BodyWorld Maltodextrin is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, as it contains only plant-based carbohydrates from starch without any animal ingredients. The product contains no proteins, fats or other animal-derived additives, making it a pure carbohydrate supplement. It is therefore suitable for the diets of athletes following a plant-based lifestyle who need a rapid energy source to replenish glycogen before, during or after training.

Maltodextrin is generally well tolerated and gentle on digestion, and it does not cause stomach discomfort even during intense training. In cases of excessive intake or an overly concentrated drink, sensitive individuals may experience bloating or digestive discomfort, similar to other carbohydrate sources. It is recommended to follow the dosage of 50 g in 250-350 ml of water and to adjust the total carbohydrate intake according to body weight and training intensity (recommended up to 4g per kg of body weight daily).

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 with a neutral taste, which makes it easier to mix with proteins or other supplements without affecting the final flavour of the drink. A 50 g serving of BodyWorld Maltodextrin contains 47.5 g of carbohydrates and 190 kcal, without any added sweetness.

Maltodextrin is a pure carbohydrate source without protein or fat (0 g protein, 0 g fat per serving), while a gainer combines carbohydrates with protein and often fats or creatine as well. If you only need rapid energy and glycogen replenishment without additional macronutrients, maltodextrin is a more flexible and cost-effective choice per gram of carbohydrate. A gainer is more suitable if you want to combine the intake of both carbohydrates and proteins in one product to support weight gain.

Yes, maltodextrin has a neutral taste and dissolves easily in water, which makes it practical to combine with protein powders, BCAA or other nutritional supplements. Such a combination of carbohydrates and proteins after training supports muscle recovery and glycogen replenishment. The recommended 50 g dose of maltodextrin can easily be mixed in the same shaker alongside a serving of protein without altering the final taste of the drink.

The product is unflavoured, meaning it has a neutral taste that does not interfere with the flavour of other drinks or supplements it is combined with. This feature is particularly beneficial when mixing with protein, fruit juices or other flavoured supplements, where the strong sweet taste of other sweeteners could unpleasantly overpower the final drink. Thanks to its neutral taste, it is also suitable for those who do not like overly sweet carbohydrate drinks.

The 1000 g pack contains 20 servings of 50 g. When taking one serving per day, for example after training, the pack will last approximately 20 days, which is less than a month of regular training. During periods of more intense performance or when combining doses both before and after training, consumption will increase accordingly, and the pack will be used up faster.

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 compared to the total amount of carbohydrates is typical for maltodextrin, which is primarily made up of longer glucose chains rather than simple sugars. These values make the product a pure and concentrated energy source 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 energy supply during exercise, while in strength training, it helps to quickly restore glycogen and support muscle recovery after intense physical stress. The recommended total carbohydrate intake for this purpose is 4g per kilogram of body weight daily from all sources.
