Serving Size & Timing

As a pre-exercise supplement we would recommend consuming approximately 25-30g of Maltodextrin. During exercise its use is optional, but if you are adding it to a beverage we would suggest a figure in the region of 15-20g, to be consumed gradually throughout your exercise period. As a post-exercise supplement we would recommend immediately consuming approximately 50-75g of Maltodextrin. Alternatively take 25-35g of Maltodextrin post-exercise and combine with an equal or similar amount of Dextrose.

For use in your own weight-gain formula we would suggest combining 50g of Maltodextrin with 50g of Whey Protein Concentrate.
