I mash from the grains and use maltodextrin to improve head retention, as well as a beer heading liquid containing propylene glycol alginate PGA , which helps to stabilise the head and prevent collapse of the bubbles.
The look and condition of my beers has drastically improved since using these additives but I'm not sure which is most reponsible. This is a lot less maltodextrin than the heroic amounts needed to increase body and sweetness, such as g or a pound in weight to a similar brew. I would rather avoid a turgid beer laden with maltodextrins to make it heavier and sweeter tasting.
Although the maltodextrin is not readily fermented by yeasts, it is rapidly broken down and utilised as sugar in humans. I prefer not to add more than necessary to my sugar intake while drinking beer! I prefer it dry, hoppy and clean tasting. I'm about to start a new batch. I'm fairly new so just using cheap extract kits from Superstore. They lack flavour and head retention so I thought I would spruce it up a bit with some additional ingredients.

Things like this are best added late in the boil were it won't effect hop utilization. Don't add anything like this with the steeping grains or you will loose some more gravity to grain absorption. Side effects may include allergic reactions, weight gain, gas, flatulence, and bloating. Maltodextrin may also cause a rash or skin irritation, asthma, cramping, or difficulty breathing.
The primary sources of maltodextrin will be corn, rice, and potato, but manufacturers may sometimes use wheat. Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that brewers yeast cannot ferment. It is a white powder that is fairly hard to dissolve , which is flavorless to slightly sweet.
All it does is increase your final gravity and add mouthfeel. Many old-school homebrew recipes called for maltodextrin, but fewer modern recipes do. To add more body to an extract-based beer, add more caramel malt or some malto-dextrin powder.
