Reliable Bulk Fuel — My Go-To Maltodextrin for Homemade Cycling Mixes

I’ve already purchased two big tubs of this maltodextrin and am subscribed for six‑month deliveries—it’s that integral to my fueling routine. As a cyclist who often rides 4–6 hours or finishes brutal Zwift sessions, I mix this maltodextrin 1:1 with fructose to power every ride. What I love most is how well it performs.Dissolves instantly into water, no clumps—just a smooth, easily sippable carb drink. That aligns with maltodextrin’s reputation as a quick, easy-to-digest glucose polymer—perfect for long efforts where steady energy matters . The 5-pound tub looks huge, but with my regular rides, it lasts me months. It’s a bulk buy that makes sense—saving money compared to gels and pre-made endurance drinks.Most importantly? It works flawlessly on my stomach. No heaviness, no cramps—just clean, sustained fuel. I combine it with fructose to hit that optimal glucose-fructose uptake ratio, and I never experience GI issues even under pressure ().Only minor gripe: the tub lacks a built-in scoop. I use a kitchen scale to measure servings, which isn’t a deal-breaker but could be more convenient.Bottom line: If you DIY your ride fuel, this maltodextrin is a solid, no-fuss foundation. Clean, consistent energy, easy digestion, and excellent value. That’s why I keep it on auto‑delivery—and why I’ll keep using it for every long ride.

Great Clean Carb Source for Post-Workout and Muscle Gain

I've been using Carbo Gain for a few months now as part of my post-workout recovery, and it's made a noticeable difference in my energy and muscle recovery. It mixes easily with protein shakes, has no flavor, and digests well without causing bloating or discomfort. I love that it's just one ingredient—pure maltodextrin—with no fillers or additives. It's helped me hit my carb targets on training days, especially when I need a quick source of clean carbs. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost calories or improve recovery after intense workouts!

Great and Convenient Source of Carbs

Great stuff! I use this product to add carbs and calories to my protein smoothies. It's tasteless, has hints of sweetness, and pairs well with any flavor.

This stuff works great.

Great price and works great. I have about a 30gr scoop from an old tailwind bag. For all rides, I eat (1) 25gr bar or gel per hour- makes it easy. For rides under 3 hours, I mix 2 scoops of this, 1 scoop of table sugar, 3/8 teaspoon boulder salt. Sometimes I add caffeine and squeeze half a lemon. This is about 60 gr carbs per hour. For longer rides, I go with 3 scoops of this, 1.75 scoops of table sugar, same amount of salt, etc. Never bonk, never cramp. No excuse not to use every ride as it's cheap, quick, and easy to make.

Great as an intra workout

This product has made it into my full time list of supplements.Working out for 2+ hours at a time takes a toll on my body. Before I started taking this product, I felt like the last half of my workout was a struggle. Now that I've started taking this, I feel like I can finish my workouts with energy to spare.The serving size for this is 2/3 a cup. There is NOT a scoop included. (though you probably have a scoop laying around that would be close to 1/4 or 1/3)Don't do what I did and stick your hand all the way down in this looking for one... you won't find it, and your hand will be covered in white powder.My favorite mixture now is to do the following:Mix in pre workout with water in a 24oz bottle. Drink half of my pre workout, add 1/3 a cup of this to my remaining pre workout, and top off with water. This way I am sipping on a lower dose of caffeine while also getting some much needed carbs throughout my workouts. I noticed an increase in muscle size after only a few weeks of drinking this in the gym (probably because I could get more quality sets in late into my workout)This mixes quite well into any beverage, and doesn't have any sort of taste (at least none that I could sense).It MIGHT make your drink slightly more viscous/thick, but it wasn't enough to really notice much. (I mix 1/3 a cup into 24 oz of water. This is half the recommended serving, but I think it's enough to get me through)I like this because it is an easily broken down source of carbs, so you can quickly replace your glycogen levels throughout a workout.I have not yet tried taking this as a mass gainer, so I can't comment on whether or not it helps with weight gain. However I can imagine this would work quite well, as you can drink your calories (drinking is always much easier than eating, especially for hard-gainers)I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an extra edge in their longer workouts. If you only do a light workout for 45 minutes, you probably don't need this. However, if you like to go hard in the gym for 1:30-2 hours, I would highly recommend adding this as an intra workout drink.I would give this product a 5/5. It mixes well, gives me the fuel I need to make it through my workouts, and doesn't leave me crashed at the end.

This stuff works!

I use the serving size, half a cup, and use them for my bike rides in both bottles. No funny business with digestion, just straight carbs! Simple enough to use. I measure 1/2 cup then with a funnel I put in the powder into the bottle. add some water and mix with a knife.. I feel you have to or else it stays clunky.. then I add the water to the top and shake it up! Taste wise, you can tell something more than water is in there in terms of density, but very very light. Have not tried yet but will mix electrolytes with it soon. I recommend this, cheers! (no proof-read)

Clumps

For the price not bad but really clumps up sometimes and it becomes super nasty.. would rather pay more for a more quality product
