    it is just a very fast absorbing carb which is good for PWO. used PWO it will raise your blood sugar quickly which causes your pancreas to release insulin which helps drive the protein and glycogen into your muscles.

    your blood sugar and insulin levels will also crash when you use dextrose so it is important to eat a meal with good complex carbs 30min or so after your PWO shake.
