Great for DIY

I use this to make my own carb drink mix. Price wise it works out so much better than buying it pre-made.
Race fuel
Greg M on 21/08/2026Verified buyer
I used BN maltodextrin with BN hydration salts to create my own concoction for my most recent marathon. Best part is it is not sickly sweet and late in an event, flavour fatigue hits hard and you can barely stomach more, but was easy with this.
Fresh!

Im 60 and training like a 25 year old!
Billy Joe C on 16/03/2026Verified buyer
I do a full body workout once every 4/5 days. It takes 6 hours, consisting of cardio, core, and comprehensive upper and lower body. It includes all the big compound lifts. I designed it myself, I call it my "Metabolic Supercharger" I have a 1000 calorie shake before and immediately after. Included in my shake is a heaped scoop of Maltodextrin. It helps uptake the Whey and Creatine quicker and is an awesome energy boost. If I get flat at the 3hour mark, I simply have another big scoop of Maltodextrin in plain water. - 12-15 minutes later Im maxing out again. It's awesome for recovery too.
