NHS Maltodextrin is a natural complex carbohydrate derived from corn starch. Consisting of long chains of glucose polymers, Maltodextrin is digested over a period of time, slowly releasing glucose into the blood stream. As a result there is no steep rise or fall in blood sugar levels. Maltodextrin is not a simple sugar (dextrose, fructose, sucrose, table sugar, etc) so it does not behave like a simple sugar.
NHS Maltodextrin has a pleasant, bland, mildly sweet taste and is highly soluble so it can be incorporated into other foods to increase their energy value without affecting taste or increasing bulk. This is particularly useful for people who need sustained energy but don’t want to feel full or for people with poor appetites who find it hard to gain weight.
NHS Maltodextrin (Natural) is free from added sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavours, thickeners and stabilizers.
