How much maltodextrin for PWO drink?

[Spoon]

Guys, Thanks for your responses on my previous post. Since i already consume 46g protein, 5g creatine, 50g dextrose with my bottle of gatorade for my PWO drink, would adding maltodextrin be overkill? If not, how much should i use? Would this pwo drink be enough to take care of my pwo carb needs befor having my FULL ppwo carb/protein meal 2 hrs later? Thanks !

if you add malto then lower your dextrose amount.....say im getting 60g carbs pwo ill do 30 dex and 30 malto...estimate...anyways malto is still pretty high GI, but i read that it's a bit slower digesting than malto which keeps it in your system til you eat a ppwo meal.

Thanks! i think il just stick to the dextrose and gauge my needs from there.

Dextrose is king!

There are better pwo drinks out now besides dextrose, especially since you are taking creatine and r-ala.

However, since the topic is dextrose or malto. Optimally, it is better to take both to ensure full saturation at different intervalls.

Also, taking a lowcarb blend would be better than just whey.

Good luck. Peace.

Do some research on johnberardi. com.

I get 3 pounds of malto, and 3 pounds of dex and put it one big tub, shake the **** out of it and then use 1.5 to 2 scoops in my pwo shake.
