    Here is what Nutrex says. Take it with a grain of salt. I would say if dextrose is working for you why waste your money paying more for this product. Even if it works the way it is supposed to I'm sure the difference isn't dramatic.

    1.Vitargo? passes through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose, thus minimizing the risk of stomach discomfort.

    2.Vitargo? accelerates creatine transport from the stomach into the bloodstream. Vitargo? basically acts like a pump, pulling creatine and water along with it from the stomach through the small intestine and into the bloodstream. This synchronizes creatine and insulin levels because creatine and the insulin stimulating Vitargo? enter the bloodstream together, which is not the case in creatine/dextrose formulas where dextrose is absorbed before creatine. More creatine can now be transported to the muscles.

    3.Vitargo? is absorbed 70% faster by the muscles than dextrose resulting in a quicker recovery rate from training. In addition to this with less stomach discomfort and more creatine transport, creatine plus Vitargo? clearly emerges as the better post-workout creatine formula.

    4.Vitargo? is as potent as dextrose in stimulating insulin to initiate creatine transport, yet it is completely sugar-free. Creatine products overloaded with simple sugars like dextrose have now become a thing of the past.

    5.Vitargo? is 70% more efficient in restoring muscle glycogen than dextrose. This leads to even greater cell volumization due to a super hydrated effect of the muscle cells.

    Do you find it to be easier on the stomach? Sometimes I get a little stomach ache if I don't nurse my PWO shake a little. I'm a puss.

    I saw that claim too. Frankly I am perplexed by this, as it is a carb (60g/serving). They say that its made from Swedish corn starch. How might that be different from corn sugar (dextrose)?

    well saying its no sugar is just bullshit. Sure it might not be sugar. But it doesnt matter if its a complex carb or sugar aslong as the GI is high, same shit anyway.
    Its like painting a horse and calling it a zebra.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I really don't thing that the body makes distinction between sucrose and frutose. They are both simple carbs, right?

    fructose is processed in the body in a completley different way from other carbs. Its insulin independant, goes through the liver and have a host of good and bad effects. But mostly bad when it comes to fatloss.

    But the difference in effects of say a complex carb with a gi of 90 and pure table sugar isnt much.
