Sugar for PWO

[Ironman5151]

Can't I just buy regular sugar from the grocery store for my PWO shakes after taking slin?

Bump! And get some sweet tarts while you wait for your dextrose if you already started with the slin.

Normal sugar would work fine. However, I don't see why one would use sugar before dextrose because sugar is less effective and more expensive. You see, dextrose is pure glucose, and glucose is the highest on the glycemic index therefore it will be digested faster than any other nutrient. This is what you want PWO wether you are using slin or not. And like I said, it's cheaper too.

thanks for the input..for those who might have the same question, I found it today at wal-mart by the work-out supplements by the pharmacy...

You can buy dextrose for less then a buck a pound at a brewery store, they use dextrose to make beer. Regular table sugar is fructose, it replenishes liver glucose before it'll replenish muscle glucose

Sorry about the highjack but has anyone used Pure Vitargo PWO, It claims to be faster acting than Dextrose. Have not used it myself but have been reading good things about it.

I'm not sure if you guys in the u.s. have "bulk barns", but you can picks up 10kg's for a couple bucks in those stores.
