Trying to be as frugal as possible with a fueling mix.
I have heard the 2:1 malto to fructose ratio like its gospel. The more labels I look at the more confused I am about what a straight forward training mix would be. Other recommendations are wide ranging in terms of ratio.
Is there a downside to mixing maltodextrin with dextrose???...I vaguely recall someone told me they compete for uptake but they (malto & dextrose) are both in EFS (maltodextrin, sucrose, dextrose per the label of the old version in my pantry).
Tailwind (dextrose + fructose) seems like a valid choice for a penny-pincher and has a lot of great reviews...am I missing out on maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin plus Tailwind perhaps? Straight malto?
Any wisdom on the above would be greatly appreciated.
