Ingredient
Maltodextrin
Scout's take
Maltodextrin is a highly processed carbohydrate used as a filler and stabilizer in supplements. It has a high glycemic index, which can cause spikes in blood sugar levels. While it aids in the texture and stability of the product, its nutritional value is minimal and may not be suitable for those managing blood sugar levels.
