    PWO Question?

    Why is Dextrose the carb of choice PWO? and why not say Regular Cane sugar?

    Can ne one explain the diff in the two?

    Im a dextrose user myself but its hard stuff to find where I live, and sometimes I need to supplement with some other carb PWO till I restock.

    What would be best to use in its place? Blended oats and table sugar? or just whey alone. Some feedback please

    My guess would be that Dex is prefered because it is 100% Glucose. As opposed to Cane Sugar which is a 50/50 blend of Fructose and Glucose.
