Maltodextrin is produced from corn starch and is easily digestible.
The name 'Maltodextrin' refers to Dextrose polymers of varying lengths. However, unlike Dextrose, Maltodextrin is not very sweet.
Usually the prime ingredient found in most off-the-shelf "weight gainers", Maltodextrin should be used by anyone wishing to increase their mass.
In more detail
Maltodextrin is a fine white powder with a bland taste, which mixes extremely well. It also increases the mixabilty of protein powders when added to them. Maltodextrin contains virtually no fat or protein and is a great cheap source of energy.
Although technically a complex carbohydrate, Maltodextrin results in a glycemic response similar to that of Dextrose.
