Hydration without energy is only half the story.
Sword & Shield give you both. The fluids and fuel to keep going when it counts. Fuel your body. Don’t just hydrate it.
What is Maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate (a polysaccharide, if we’re getting technical) that’s derived from wheat starch. Maltodextrin in Shield and Sword is carefully processed to be gluten-free, with the gluten-containing part of the wheat kernel completely removed. While some forms of maltodextrin can be synthetic or overly processed, the one used in Shield and Sword is natural, clean, and safe, fully and used to support real hydration, not hinder it.
Why Carbs Matter in Hydration
When you’re working hard, especially in heat or stress, your body turns to carbohydrates as its fastest energy source. No carbs? That’s when you start to feel dizzy, sluggish, or even hit the wall. It’s not dehydration alone, it’s also a lack of fuel.
That’s where maltodextrin comes in. It provides a steady, clean-burning source of energy without the crash.
Not just sugar. Smart sugar.
Sword & Shield are formulated with natural sugars in healthy, effective amounts to avoid sudden spikes. Sugar in the right form and amount doesn’t slow you down. It helps you stay always on, for longer.
Why it works:
- Gluten-free, natural maltodextrin
- Supports sustained energy in the heat
- Helps prevent fatigue, dizziness, and energy crashes
Why it matters:
When you’re sweating and working, your body needs more than water — it needs fuel. Sword & Shield deliver fast hydration and steady energy, thanks to naturally derived, gluten-free maltodextrin.
