Hi, I've just noticed one of the ingredients listed on my mag supplements is maltodextin Is this ok to take whilst doing keto?. Would I be better taking it in liquid form? Thanks in advance for any help.

I would avoid maltodextrin. I don't even understand why it would be added anyway. It's a sugar. It's typically used to sweeten something. Why would a pill need to be sweetened? That's very odd

I use magnesium carbonate powder that I add to any liquids and even food as I'm cooking. It has no flavor. It can feel chalky on the tongue if it's not mixed with enough liquid.
I buy it in bulk on Amazon from Bulk Supplements and personally take about 2000mg a day.

I use magnesium complex, capsules, from Amazon as well. No maltodextrin in mine.

If you're interested in all the great things magnesium does for the body check out the book The Magnesium Miracle.
