50# bag of maltodextrin?

That also says purity suitable for intended purpose.

Caveat emptor…

Sounds good, thanks. I never did get an answer when I posted on Amazon

We sent your question about NOW Sports Nutrition, Carbo… to the Amazon community and unfortunately none of them have yet responded.

Questions remain unanswered when we do not have enough customers to ask or when the question is particularly difficult to answer. At this point your question is unlikely to receive an answer, but it will remain posted on Amazon and we will notify you if anyone responds.

Thank you for shopping on Amazon!

I posted a link above to a 12lb bag for ~30 from amazon. Now Sports

What kind of ride was it? If it was a decently easy ride then 1.5hrs probably isn’t enough to notice a difference. Where I really notice a difference (now with ~100g/hr vs years ago with maybe 20) is on longer rides, on hard rides, or on back to back harder rides. I haven’t bonked in years (got close this winter but that’s cause I wasn’t eating enough riding through snow and cross winds) and I feel so much better after hard efforts or at the end of long rides it’s crazy.

well I will correct myself. DE X DP = 120 supposedly according to wiki page for dextrose equivalent. So between 10-11 glucose molecules.

Running low on malto so searched the forum, but 2022 was a while ago and a lot of the links seem to have jumped up a lot in price. Anyone have a best source for bulk these (..tariff laden) days?

I’m still using this Amazon.com: NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Carbo Gain Powder (Maltodextrin), Rapid Absorption, Energy Production, 8-Pound? price isn’t great compared to a 50lbs bag but good when you don’t want 50lbs. Looks like I have bought 5 of those since 2022, should probably pick up a 50lbs bag again.

https://shop.honeyville.com/maltodextrin-50lb.html is what I bought years ago and was about half the price in 2014.

Current prices shipped but no tax (in the US) would be about 4.40 per lbs for the carbo gain and 2.78 for the tate and lyle. But you will need storage for the 50lbs bag.

@mrtopher1980 gave good links, I personally have just been grabbing the NOW from amazon when I need some. I always order before running out or when its low from a batch I made. Storing 50lbs at one point, it was just too much to have around YMMV!
