    Nope, it sucks actually.

    I'd try to link the big ass explanation as to why here, but I have to get to the gym. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.

    I'm going to take a guess and say that Powerade is mostly high fructose corn syrup and water, with dextrose and maltodextrin being minor ingredients. I don't have a bottlet o know for sure, and the powerade website just pisses me off.

    ding ding...all of it is hfcs and sucrose....i do know that POWDERED gatorade lists dextrose as the first ingredient, but just using sweet tarts or pure dex is always a good way to ensure you know exactly how much you are getting.

    so sweet tarts are a good form of dextrose if i cant get it from any where else( i do not want to order off of internet)
    if so how many servings is enough because the label does not say how much dextrose is in each serving

    Cool, thanx, I didn't consider using it instead of dex, I just saw dex/malto on the label as primary ingredients and thats why I asked

    any time bro...i acutally liked using the powdered gatorade sometimes because it had actual flavor, though you can just use dex and some crystal lite for a really good pwo drink.
