Comparing carbohydrate powders

We count the carbohydrate (as labelled) a label states per serving, whatever the pack size or the serving size, so every product sits on one scale. Carbohydrate powders comes as maltodextrin and cyclic dextrin (cluster dextrin), and each form has its own table, because someone buying one would not usually take another as a like-for-like substitute. Products that combine carbohydrate powders with other ingredients are listed separately, because their price buys more than carbohydrate (as labelled). 50 g is our unit for comparing prices, not a dose to take: the label’s directions and a pharmacist decide that.

Prices last checked: . Ranked purely by price per 50 g — a comparison unit, not a recommendation. We earn commission when you buy through these links; it never affects the order.
