Maltodextrin is a complex produced from starch and can be derived from various sources, such as corn, potato, cassava, and rice. It is a polysaccharide formed by glucose molecules with a high glycemic index and is easily digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal system.
Fructose is a simple carbohydrate found mainly in fruits and vegetables.
and in honey. With a low glycemic index and rapid hepatic absorption, it is able to increase the rate of carbohydrate absorption and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort when consumed together with glucose during physical activity.
Palatinose, also known as isomaltulose, is a carbohydrate present
It is found in honey and sugarcane, but is mainly extracted from beetroot. With low
Due to its low glycemic index, isomaltulose digestion behaves differently compared to other carbohydrates. Because it is digested more slowly, it provides a gradual release of glucose and fructose. The results are more stable blood glucose levels during prolonged exercise and a lower incidence of energy spikes followed by crashes.
