I am confused. I thought maltodextrin was a complex carb, but I think I read on here recently it is sugar. I switched from dextrose to maltodextrin a while back believing I was switching from simple to complex carb pwo. Whats the verdict?? Thanks.

Both are sugar, and i'm not personally a fan of either. Want easy complex carbs PWO? Go with oats.

Even on the container it says 100% complex carbohydrate???? I know its derived from corn(fructose)?? Why would it say complex if its simple?

It's produced from starch and technically classified as a complex carb, but it absorbs about as rapidly as glucose itself - so that makes it a simple carb in my book.
