    Malodextrin... Complex Carb??

    Ive read a lot about malodextrin, but not really sure how well it works. Anyone in here really well knowlegable on it, and anyone use it as a supplement.

    I have a hard time making meals, so Im looking for a slow burning carb to put in a blender basically :P

    maltodextrin is NOT a slow burning carb. Its is used to spike your insulin after a workout. Not necessary IMO.

    Lots of us just use 1/2 cup of oats mixed with out shakes with just as good results without the spike.

    However breaking down the oats is like a form of predigestion, so even that will play with the GI index, IMO.

    Ha! Yes, I just figured that out. I was thinking too hard after taking some of these threads in, looking for a scientific explanation to "IMO" above.

    Apparently, I shouldn't play with my GI index, whatever that is. I may have already touched it. Hope I don't go blind.

    thanks
