[GOSOX]

hi guys, sorry if this is wrong forum but i get good responces in here. i just got my 5pound free bottle of Dextrose. there is no info with it. im really not to familiar with this, when to take it or how much. can i please get some info on this stuff and is it good to take with a cycle?? thanks.

u should take it with ur protein shake. the ratio is 1gram protein=2grams dextrose. u can use ur scooper from ur protein bottle, but make sure u check how much grams the scooper is, it should be next to the calories, (not the grams of protien)

Huh? A 5 lb. bottle of dextrose? Are you sure that is what you have? I'm not sure why you would be given that. Can you give some more info?

Oh, I see. I thought it was a bottle of liquid for injection. Never mind.

i got mine too just didnt know what to use with lol

[GOSOX]

i hate to sound like a dumbass but im really not familiar with dextrose, i just saw a post in here for a free bottle so i ordered it, lol. i have a 5 lb bottle, not sure how to measure it, so i should use my proiten shake scooper?? also, do i put it in my protien shake or what do i mix it with and when and how much should i take of it and is it good to take while im on a deca test cycle. any info i can get would be great, ive been trying to find info on dextrose online but cant find much to what it is used for for bodybuilding

[darmadoc]

It would seem to me that it might be used in conjunction with insulin . Nothing to be used without tons of experience.

do a search. It is used in your pwo shake in a ratio of 2:1 dextrose:whey protein. To spike insulin to shuttle protein to muscles and to restore muscle glycogen.

[MarkinHouston]

Correct. But you only need to restore muscle glycogen immediately after it's been depleted. In other words, only have a dex and protein shake within a half hour of a good workout. Otherwise you stand a good chance of it getting converted and stored.

i did a search and still not finding much., so let me get this straight, if i do 2 scoops of protien which is 20grams a scoop i should do i scoop of dextrose in the shake as well????

also, is this good to use while on or off a cycle or does it not matter, not trying to be a pain but i would love for someone to give a good explanation about dextrose for me, thanks

[GOSOX]

saw your post after mine houston, that helps a little, thanks,

[nsa]

search pwo nutrition...

last question, if im taking a 40gram protien shake i need 80 grams of dextrose, is there a easy way to measure out my dextrose cause it doesnt say anything on the bottle, like how many tablespoons or somthing i should put in, my protien powder is 20grams per scoop so i was thinking 2 scoops of that for 40 then i scoop of dextrose, my scooper is 31 grams though

They are not the same density. Get a cheap scale and measure it out or use measuring cups...

[BigPimpn]

Im not 100% sure but I think the protein scooper is about 45 grams of dextrose per scoop.

You don't even know what size scooper he's talking about. Use 1 measuring cup to be certain...

[MarkinHouston]

For mine, I weighed it and it worked out exactly twice as dense, so 2 scoops of each gives me the 2:1 ratio...but different protein products are, well, ...different. I use Pro Complex.

[Derek6621]

Hey man I talked to the company and its 14 grams per tablespoon....I think thats what your looking for.

That about sums it up, the scopper should be 50g

- just to add, you should 0.25g of dex per pound of bodyweight if cutting and I suposse you are coz everybody is in summertime (and double that in protein...but that was already covered)

[bor]

I can see I was being a smarta$$ and everything I wrote has already been written in this thread , don't mind me

[Darkness]

This dextrose is about twice as dense as protein, what I do is 2 scoops of protein and 2 scoops of dex.
