Gee, and I was going to suggest peanut butter and honey rolled up in a tortilla....

Maltodextrin is cheap but an outdated carb type for many strength or endurance athletes....

A few of us on the Therapeutic Associates Cycling Team in Portland experimented with and some are now using (loading, during, recovery exclusively) a homopolysaccharide (relatively complex carbohydrate). We've tried a product called GENR8 (only product with Vitargo) available at GNC and now we prefer a product called Pure Karbolyn which we buy at SNC (Sports
Nutrition Center), Tigard. This 'type of carbohydrate' has been used for years by professional athletes around the world and actually has clinical data. So let me explain...stay with me on this....the current product we've been using is made up of many monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds. These are very large bonds that are branched macromolecules. The "Molecular Mass" has been precisely manipulated to create absorption through the stomach at a rate much greater than maltodextrin, dextrose, breads, pasta, rice or any other carb product on the market and yet have relatively low glycemic level to maltodextrin. Because this carb type passes through the stomach very quickly, they act like a pump, pulling water and nutrients along with it. This high tech carbohydrate actually moves through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose or sugar. Also this carb type has a Higher Solution Osmolality (concentration) than Dextrose, Sucrose or other carb
powder mixes on the market.

My two cents

William, what might it mean for you....50+ gms of tasty carbs in a 24 ounce
water bottles that almost immediately shuttles the your muscles, liver,
brain. Carbs no longer sit in your gut and make you fill full or bloated. No
sugar. No more need for gels. No need for 6-8% solution mixtures because it
doesn't matter anymore with a carb that is mainly absorbed in your small
intestines at a faster, higher rate.

As for me....I might sound like I 'm selling a product name...I'm not...I'm
a recommending a better type of carbohydrate. No offense to anyone that
sells these products but I have over $100++ of Gu powder, Gu Gel, Heed,
Perpetuem, Cytomax, R4, Cytocarb that I have not used since February of this
year in my garage and about ready to throw out...

But, if ya like maltodextrin.....I wish ya the best....

If you have any further questions contact me off-line.

Hey,
I've been using a Multodextrin mix for a while now and have been buying it
from brewing supply stores for $5 a pound. I go through it pretty quick and
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get it cheaper. Thanks, Will.
