Cyclic Dextrin has a much lower glycemic impact than does maltodextrin. Therefore, insulin release and blood sugar spikes (and drops) are reduced when using Cyclic Dextrin vs. maltodextrin. Cyclic Dextrin provides a steadier, less erratic supply of energy when compared to maltodextrin.

Is dextrose worse than maltodextrin?

Health Concerns Dextrose is a completely natural product but doesn’t supply any nutrients. Eating too much of it may cause weight gain and tooth decay. Maltodextrin has no known adverse health effects.
