Dextrose PWO

[beachrugger8]

I have been reading that dextrose or D-glucose is good to mix with protein or creatine PWO to get an insulin bump. I was just wondering where it can be found? Is corn starch a source?

I hope Phate or Fallenwyvern chimes in on this one, because I've heard the same thing, but they both had some good arguments against it.

the insulin response you get from dextrose/maltodextrin is greatly exaggerated, but the immune crushing effects of them aren't, i don't use them as they give me a sick feeling and in general just aren't good for you

forget dextrose, maltodextrine and all that shit. You won't EVER need that.
PWO have anything; rice, potato, pasta, oats, fruit, its healthier and tastier.
I funny to see these supplements claiming to replenisg gycogen stores faster than the speed of light, provinging supersonic insulin spikes, and all that BS.
So you got sugar in your body in no time. So what? Money making, thats all.
