    dextrose or maltodextrin

    whats better for postworkout nutrition dextrose or maltodextrin?

    Dextrose is a simplex carb and maltodextrin is a complex carb.

    So which would be better for gaining mass?

    Through the research simple carbs are better for quick restoration of the body/muscles so which would be better for the job.

    Both are just about equal. Don't be confused about Malto being complex. It's a 105 on the GI index which is even higher than dex.

    Oh so true. That's why I don't bother with dextrose.
