I wouldn't recommend dextrose to someone who is triing to cut. I am sure the nutrition company here has something better. It is becoming outtdated.

Dextrose can be beneficial, however, one of the drawbacks to large amounts of dextrose consumption is the fact that it has a high degree of osmolality, which is a measure of the concentration of a given particle in solution.

A solution with a high rate of osmolality cause more water to be retained in the stomach, Dextrose, being such a compound binds water from areas like the small intestine, blood, etc., which can in many people give you cramps or that bloated feeling. Something alot of people wouldn't find that particuarly desirable when during postworkout cardio.
