what is dextrose?
dextrose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that is derived entirely from corn starch. dextrose replenishes muscle glycogen (fuel) levels rapidly and, as such, is a great choice after exercise.
dextrose, also known as glucose, is found in the body and is the result of breaking down carbohydrates (dextrose is also a carbohydrate). by consuming dextrose, the process of breaking down starchy carbohydrate is skipped resulting in a rapid supply of energy.
taste wise, dextrose is about 20% less sweet than regular cane sugar. dextrose is commonly added to pre, intra and post-workout drinks. dextrose is commonly mixed with protein, creatine and bcaa to give just a few examples.
dextrose is of the highest quality, providing 100% dextrose. a quick glance at the certificate of analysis (coa) on this product page (to the side of the product image) reaffirms this.
who is dextrose suitable for?
dextrose is suitable for use pre, intra and post-workout. it combines well with protein drinks to give a balance of both protein and carbohydrate. its most common use is as part of a ‘do it yourself’ recovery shake.
