Hydrolysis uses enzymes to cut those chains into shorter pieces. Stop early and you get large chains that behave like a starch; go all the way and you get pure glucose (dextrose). Rice syrup powder sits in between: mostly short glucose chains, a small amount of free glucose and maltose, which is where the \u003cstrong\u003e5g of sugar on the label\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy that matters for an intra-workout drink comes down to one word: \u003cstrong\u003eosmolality\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOsmolality: the number that decides whether a carb drink works mid-session\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour stomach empties fluid faster when the fluid is close to the concentration of your blood. Osmolality is driven by the \u003cem\u003enumber\u003c\/em\u003e of particles in solution, not their weight. Dextrose is one particle per 180 daltons. A chain of ten glucose units is one particle carrying ten times the carbohydrate. So at the same gram dose, a chained carbohydrate makes a far less concentrated solution, empties from the stomach faster, and is less likely to sit there sloshing or pull water into the gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDextrose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle glucose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHighest osmolality, fastest spike, most gut risk at high doses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaltodextrin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium chains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate osmolality, cheap, the default in most mass gainers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolyzed rice \/ cluster dextrin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLonger branched chains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLowest osmolality, gentlest on the stomach during training\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarb Script sits in the third row. If you have tried a maltodextrin or dextrose intra drink and felt bloated or heavy on the second set, this is the structural reason, and the fix is the carbohydrate source, not a smaller scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat carbs during training do, and what they do not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuscle glycogen is the fuel for hard sets. Taking carbohydrate during a session does two things: it keeps blood glucose stable so the nervous system is not running on fumes late in the workout, and it spares glycogen so you finish with more in the tank than you otherwise would. In practice that shows up as rep quality holding on the last exercises rather than falling off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere is the honest limit.\u003c\/strong\u003e This only helps if the session is long or hard enough to make a dent in glycogen.

That is the entire basis of oral rehydration solutions. Carbohydrate plus sodium absorbs water faster than water alone. 160mg per scoop is a sensible intra-workout level; if you are a heavy sweater training in heat, it is on the lower side and you may want to add a pinch of salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalci-K\u003c\/strong\u003e is Albion's chelated calcium-potassium-phosphate citrate.

If you already tolerate a cluster dextrin product, you will tolerate this.
