    There has been much debate on whether simple or complex carbs should be consumed for PWO. I guess just try experimenting and see what works best for you.

    the main difference between those two would probably be how your body reacts. some people get intense headaches from all the sugar that is dextrose. malto may be a little easier on you in those situations. but if the sugar highs dont bother you...keep it simple, just use dex.

    LOL WRONG!

    For example, maltodextrin is a moderately sweet polysaccharide used as a food additive, unrelated to barley malt. It is produced from corn starch and is usually found as a creamy white hygroscopic powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose. The CAS number of maltodextrin is 9050-36-6.

    So tell me...glucose is complex?? didnt know that....My bad...

    LMFAO @ you!!

    Where does it say it's simple? It's a complex carb... just because it is easily absorbed, does not make it a simple sugar (like Dextrose)... and that is common knowledge. There is nothing to debate here.

    But thanks for coming out, smartass.

    He's right. It's technically a complex carb. However it certainly doesn't act as one seeing as it rates 105 on the GI index.

    polysaccharide Would mean that it is complex.

    I Still Did Not Get A Precise Answer To The Main Question..we All Know That Dextro(simple)is Quikly Absorbed , While Malto(complex) Takes Longer To Do So..what Worked Better For You? Again , Dextro By Itself Ou With Malto (50/50) Along With Whey?

    If im not mistaken what makes it a complex carb is its chain legnth, but the glycemic load it carries makes it similar to a medium to simple carb, and it's glycemic index makes it readily absorbed.

    BIGNFIT try the 50/50 combo I like it, but then again 100g of dextrose gives me a wicked headache, so unless your running an insulin dependent anabolic agent, to me the crash and the headache dextrose gives me isnt worth it.

    Are you speaking to me? If you are I was talking about people debating between Dextrose and lets say a whole wheat bagel or Oats. This has been talked about countless times in this forum so I guess its ok to say "yes there is a debate"

    Exactly, hence the Polysaccharide.
