| Description | Maltodextrin is a white powder made from starch that's used as a food additive in many products. Maltodextrin is actually a polysaccharide, which is a specific type of carbohydrate made from a cluster of sugar molecules that are all bonded together. |
| Uses | Maltodextrin is a natural starch-derived carbohydrate. It is generally used as a thickener or filler to increase the volume of a processed food. It's also a preservative that increases the shelf life of packaged foods. It's inexpensive and easy to produce, so it's useful for thickening products such as instant puddings and gelatins, sauces, and salad dressings. Supplementation of inulin and resistant maltodextrin did not provide an additional weight loss during an energy-restricted diet, but reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Experts consider maltodextrin a safe product for consumption, but it may carry some risks. |

| Blood sugar spikes | Maltodextrin has a higher glycemic index (GI) than table sugar, which means it can cause blood sugar to spike shortly after eating. This can be dangerous for people with diabetes or insulin resistance. |
| Gut bacteria | Maltodextrin may alter the balance of gut bacteria, which can damage the intestine and increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. |
