It contains no additives, no flavorings, no sweeteners, no fat, and no other ingredients besides pure maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a highly polymerized glucose polymer (more than 4 dextrose monomers in the chain) with a medium dextrose equivalent (DE), which gives it a neutral to slightly sweet taste, high water solubility, and a faster digestion and absorption rate than conventional starch but more gradual than pure dextrose. With less than 7% simple sugars in its composition and a high concentration of fast-absorbing complex carbohydrates, it is one of the reference energy sources in sports nutrition for peri-workout use. Vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Polymerized Maltodextrin: Fast-Absorbing Carbohydrate for Glycogen Replenishment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maltodextrin is produced by partial hydrolysis of corn starch, resulting in a glucose polymer of intermediate length (typically 3 to 20 glucose units, with a dextrose equivalent between 10 and 20). This intermediate chain length gives maltodextrin a faster absorption profile than native starch (which requires more extensive enzymatic digestion) but more gradual than pure glucose or dextrose (monomer). The result is a carbohydrate source with a high glycemic index (similar to glucose for low DE forms) that rapidly raises blood glucose levels, provides substrate for ATP resynthesis during exercise, and for glycogen replenishment post-workout, but without the abrupt glycemic peak of isolated dextrose. As recognized by EFSA, carbohydrates have been proven to contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after intense or prolonged exercise leading to glycogen depletion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Polymerization for Neutral Taste and Lower Osmolality in Solution:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSN specifically selects highly polymerized maltodextrin (more than 4 dextrose monomers) for its RawSeries product, which results in two practical advantages. The taste is neutral to slightly sweet (with less than 7% simple sugars), without the very sweet taste characteristic of low polymerization forms, allowing it to be added to any drink or shake without significantly altering the flavor profile. The osmolality of the maltodextrin solution is lower than that of equivalent glucose or dextrose solutions at the same carbohydrate concentration, given that each maltodextrin molecule represents an osmotic particle regardless of its chain length, resulting in more hypotonic solutions that have faster gastric emptying, a lower risk of gastrointestinal discomfort during exercise, and better palatability in sports drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Carbohydrate Energy Source: Zero Fat, Zero Protein, Zero Additives:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSN's RawSeries maltodextrin is virtually free of fat, protein, fiber, and any other macronutrient besides carbohydrates, making it a carbohydrate energy source with a predictable and controllable composition. This purity is especially valued by athletes who precisely calculate the macronutrient composition of their peri-workout drinks and aim to add carbohydrates without introducing uncontrolled nutritional variables. The absence of additives, flavors, and sweeteners makes it completely organoleptically neutral, compatible with any combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Combination and Application Versatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSN's maltodextrin powder is compatible with virtually any nutritional combination: it can be added to protein shakes to increase carbohydrate intake without altering the taste; mixed with dextrose or fructose to create sports drinks with multiple carbohydrate sources and different intestinal transporters (maximizing the absorption rate beyond the 60 g\/hour possible with a single carbohydrate source); combined with EAAs or BCAAs for complete intra-workout drinks; or used as an ingredient in competition preparation recipes that require precise carbohydrate intake manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Available Carbohydrates for Homemade Gainers and Weight Gain Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e For athletes with high caloric needs, weight or muscle gain goals, or difficulty meeting daily carbohydrate needs through solid food, maltodextrin powder is the ingredient of choice for increasing caloric intake in a practical and economical way. Adding 50 to 100 g of maltodextrin to a protein shake adds 190 to 380 kcal of pure carbohydrates without altering the taste or volume of the shake, allowing for the creation of a personalized gainer with the exact desired protein\/carbohydrate ratio, at a much lower cost than pre-formulated commercial gainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDextrose Equivalent (DE) Suitable for Rapid Absorption Without Excessive Glycemic Peak:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dextrose equivalent (DE) of HSN's maltodextrin positions it in a rapid absorption zone, but not as abrupt as pure dextrose, which is especially relevant for intra-workout use (where energy needs to be quickly available but without the crashes associated with simple sugar sources) and post-workout (where muscle glycogen replenishment should be fast but does not require the peak insulin response of dextrose).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRawSeries: Single Product Philosophy, Maximum Purity, No Additives:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSN maltodextrin is part of the RawSeries line, the brand's philosophy of raw format products with a single ingredient, no additives, no flavorings, and no unnecessary excipients. The raw material comes from certified non-GMO corn starch, with strict quality control throughout the entire production chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost-workout (glycogen replenishment):\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 50 g (~2 scoops) with 300 to 400 ml of cold water.
