NOW® Carbo Gain is a 100% pure complex carbohydrate supplement derived from maltodextrin, an easily digestible blend of complex carbohydrates from corn starch. Maltodextrin contains "glucose polymers", linked sugar compounds that are easier for the body to assimilate and use.
Glucose polymers are metabolized at a slow, steady rate that can help to sustain energy levels during endurance-oriented workouts and/or athletic events and support weight gain. Carbo Gain contains virtually no protein, fat or fiber and is a convenient source of energy for active individuals.*

Best price on teh web for maltodextrin. Perfect for adding to sports drink or making gel for activities like cycling and running. It could dissolve a little quicker, especially when making gel. Work in an area that is easy to clean up, the powder becomes quite sticky when it gets wet.

I actually bought this stuff at the local drug emporium after learning about it in a book I was reading. I'm a long distance runner and I can't believe how much more energy it gives me when I'm doing long runs. It's wonderful!
