What, if any is the difference between dextrose and maltodextrin? Is maltodextrin proper for your PWO shake?

[bad_man]

Dextrose: Dextrose, or d-glucose, is also known as corn sugar. It is 70-80% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). Dextrose is absorbed and utilized quickly, providing a rapid energy source.


Maltodextrin: Maltodextrin refers to dextrose polymers of varying lengths. Unlike dextrose, maltodextrin is not very sweet. Although technically a complex carbohydrate, maltodextrin results in a glycemic response similar to that of dextrose. Dextrose is less expensive, sweeter, and mixes more easily.

Some people use maltodextrin (or both maltodextrin and dextrose) in their PWO shake.

you don't get the insulin spike from maltodextrin as you do from dextrose. not a bad idea as long as you have dextrose in there too....JMO
