## Overview

NOW Foods Sports Carbo Gain Powder is an 8-pound container of pure maltodextrin derived from non-GMO corn, offering a complex carbohydrate source that rapidly absorbs to fuel energy production. GMP-certified for quality and purity, this flavorless powder blends effortlessly into shakes and supplements, making it ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts aiming to enhance endurance, support weight gain, and optimize workout recovery.

## Description

NOW® Sports Carbo Gain is pure maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate derived from non-GMO corn. Maltodextrin is comprised of "glucose polymers," which are chains of glucose molecules that are easy for the body to digest and assimilate. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Great product - Been using for years. Great for adding carbs into protein shakes or pre work out amino mixes
Review: Great For Weight Gain - I bought this powder about a week ago to help me put on weight, and I mix it into my water, pre-workout, and post-workout. I've noticed it dissolves easily and has no texture unless you use too much, at which point it clumps up and becomes slimy, but it's easy to eyeball it after the first couple tries. It's flavorless to sweet flavor profile makes it easy to drink. I haven't noticed a difference in energy level, and I trust the ingredients, as it's almost entirely maltodextrin. Overall I would say it's a great product and I've already noticed some weight gain in combination with a bulking diet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this taste?**
A: It taste pasty.  Not much of a flavor.  It doesn't mix well.  You can not mix it with just a spoon in a cup.  You need a mixer, and add something for flavor, like a protein drink.

**Q: Is this the same thing as dextrose?**
A: CJ, no it's not. Dextrose is a sugar made by the body. When supplementing dextrose you want to it after intense long cardio, or during a long cardio session, biking hiking running ect. Carbo gain is 100% maltodextrine, a complex carbo hydrate! This is what your body will burn and use first during any sort of workout! I personally supplement carbo gain in a protein shake, post work out, and mix it with my BCAAs during my workout, to sip on! Hope this info helped, feel free to contact me about any other questions!

**Q: Is it gluten free?**
A: Yes, I'll add a picture of the label.

**Q: Is this imported from China like the Dextrose is?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Bulk Fuel — My Go-To Maltodextrin for Homemade Cycling Mixes
*by J***N on July 17, 2025*

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.
