Now Sports Carbo Gain Powder Diet Supplement, 8 Lbs

No scoop, kinda a bummer

Good

Great price and works great. I have about a 30gr scoop from an old tailwind bag. For all rides, I eat (1) 25gr bar or gel per hour- makes it easy. For rides under 3 hours, I mix 2 scoops of this, 1 scoop of table sugar, 3/8 teaspoon boulder salt. Sometimes I add caffeine and squeeze half a lemon. This is about 60 gr carbs per hour. For longer rides, I go with 3 scoops of this, 1.75 scoops of table sugar, same amount of salt, etc. Never bonk, never cramp. No excuse not to use every ride as it's cheap, quick, and easy to make.

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.

The first time I bought it taste sweet but the second time I bought it again it no taste what wrong with it 😢

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.
