I just read dextrose and glucose are the same thing. Is this true.
not entirely. where you read it?
On a site selling dextrose :rolleyes:
Whats the diffrence I can get glucose for sfa but dextrose is proving more difficult to get.
Anyone else.
Done a search can't find it on the website itself. But follow this link for the search page I was on. Look to for the link for irish sugar In it's decription it writes glucose (dextrose).

Jantkan said not exactly. I can't find a uk/irish based source for dextrose. If it's the same thing I can just buy it a my local store for sfa albeit in smaller quantities. This is quite a relief as everone has told me to run dextrose instead of maltodextrin, something that was easy to get here.
Dex is also known as Corn Sugar, you might be able to find it at a liquor storeQuote:

Def won't get that in a liquor store in Ireland. In fact i'd eat my hat if I saw any kind of sugar on sale in a liquor store(off license) in Ireland. Glucose will give me the same insulin spike as dextrose though right.Quote:
