Best way to get Maltodextrin in a powder or liquid form?

I'm wanting to start adding a 50/50 mixture of dextrose and maltodextrin in my post-workout protein shakes. I've seen 100% Dextrose Powder that you can buy. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get maltodextrin into my protein shake? Powder or Liquid would be best! Thanks!Best way to get Maltodextrin in a powder or liquid form?
There is a protein supplement called ';Absorb Plus'; which it's principle carbohydrate is maltodextrin. Absorb Plus also has the highest quality, pre-digested whey protein available. It comes in three different flavors and tastes great! Plus clean up is a breeze.





Here's some information on what makes it so good in relation to other protein drinks:





WHY IS ABSORB PLUS BETTER THAN OTHER SHAKE PRODUCTS?


--------------------------------------鈥?br>




If you're used to drinking commercial meal replacement products, you'll probably be amazed at the difference Absorb Plus will make to your health and weight.





1. PROTEIN SOURCE





Other products:





- use much cheaper (and less nutritious/bioavailable) protein sources like egg albumin, casein, whey concentrate, etc. When they do contain whey protein, it is often heat-extracted, which is a much cheaper extraction method, but it also denatures the protein.





- particularly be wary of those that contain casein - as it is the milk protein that most people are allergic to.





- many commercial products contain only 10 grams per serving of a nutritionally inferior protein.





Absorb Plus:





- uses the highest quality, most bioavailable source of whey protein on the market (we use cross-flow membrane, cold-extracted, whey protein isolate).





- contains absolutely no casein and it is also 99.9% lactose-free.





- contains 27 grams of whey protein isolate per serving.





2. AMINO ACIDS





Other products:





- usually contain only the amino acids that are automatically present in their protein source.





Absorb Plus:





- contains the 9 amino acids automatically present in its whey protein isolate, AND it also contains 10 more - that were specifically chosen for their health-giving properties.





- contains an additional, completely customized, free-form amino acid blend. For example, Absorb Plus contains 1000 mg of just L-Glutamine per serving (the primary amino acid used for intestinal mucosal repair)! Here are the other amino acids in our customized blend and what they each do to help your body:





L-Alanine - aids in the metabolism of glucose for energy





L-Aspartic Acid - increases stamina, protects the liver, aids cell function and RNA/DNA formation





L-Cystine - aids in skin formation, helps heal burns and wounds, assists in the supply of insulin to the pancreas





L-Glutamic Acid - aside from glucose, is the only compound used for brain fuel. Increases firing of neurons in nervous system, metabolizes sugars and fats





L-Glycine - retards muscle degeneration, necessary for central nervous system function and a healthy prostate





L-Proline - used in healing cartilage, strengthens joints, tendons and the heart muscle





L-Serinee - needed for proper metabolism of fats and fatty acids, aids in production of immunoglobulins and antibodies





L-Threonine - helps maintain protein balance in the body, aids formation of collagen and elastin





L-Tyrosine - aids function of pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands. Used to treat anxiety, depression, headaches and allergies





**If you were to purchase these amino acids on their own, you'd likely pay about $50 per bottle.





3. CARBOHYDRATES





Other products:





- most commercial meal replacement products derive a majority of their calories from lots of oil (can result in intestinal spasming) and lots of sugar. Neither of these ingredients is particularly healthy, nor likely to result in healthy muscle (not fat).





- ratio of sugar to maltodextrin is not ideal (too much sugar), since sugar is a cheaper ingredient than maltodextrin.





Absorb Plus:





- the principle carbohydrate in Absorb Plus is maltodextrin (derived from corn). Maltodextrin has a slower uptake to the bloodstream, thereby helping to avoid the ';sugar high'; and resultant crash you can get from many liquid shake products.





4. FLAVORS %26amp; SWEETENERS





Other products:





- many are sweetened with glucose or sucrose and/or artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Splenda, Acesulfame-K, etc. We (and many health authorities) believe these artificial sweeteners are toxic.





- most use artificial flavors and coloring agents - again, we believe these to be toxic and damaging to your health.





Absorb Plus:





- sweetened only with fructose (naturally occurring sugar in fruit and some vegetables). Absorb Plus contains the same amount of fructose per serving as an apple.





- contains 100% natural flavors and colors only.
