What does it do?

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide created by the partial hydrolysis of starch and is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for nutritional supplementation and energy supply. It is easily digestible and quickly utilized as an energy source.

Maltodextrin is rapidly broken down into glucose during the digestive process and is quickly used as an energy source in the body. This provides necessary calories to patients with poor nutritional status.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Maltodextrin has a larger molecular size than monosaccharides or disaccharides, which may result in slower digestion and absorption, but it is effective in situations requiring rapid energy supply. Additionally, it has little taste and dissolves well in water, making it easy to add to pharmaceuticals.
