The maltodextrin is a sugar made from cornstarch. Apparently there are supplements on the market that contain it,the reason you would use it is so the sugars can get into your blood stream and to your muscles quickly.

I need to have a 50% 50% mix of each to equate to 32 grams. *feel like I'm back in chemistry class* :) Thank you for the info, I thought for sure I'd have to beat my head against the wall until tomorrow! :) -------------- You only get ONE body, take care of it and it'll take care of YOU!
