    Dextrose

    Hey, fellas. I don't know if this is the right forum, but what is Dextrose and how is it beneficial? Why do people take it? I've found a lot of threads that discuss people using it, but it never says what it is and what the purpose of it is.

    Thanks,
    MS

    basically it is corn sugar and it is used for a quick nutrient transfer after you work out.

    It gets good carbs to you quickly after a workout. It's only 1/3 as sweet tasting as sugar. Great for PWO Shakes!

    it causes an insulin spike after a workout that is supposed to help with protein synthesis and stop catabolism of the muscle tissue. but you hardly even get an effect with dextrose compared to what you would get with actual slin...it has a GI of 100 and it is pure glucose...

    Oh just because he kinda got into it with another member about dex vs slin and then I asked a question about it and replied but you could kinda tell he was hesitent,

    The Dex thread is seriously becoming the "can I drink winny" question of the diet forum. Can someone please make a FAQ/sticky on Dextrose!

    It's not pure glucose. It's just itself, dextrose. They are totally different sugars.
