some people go 2:1 dex to whey. i think that's too much, but see what works for you. i personally don't use dex pwo, i use white bread and jelly. i like foods better.

Ive got to find something else to use beside Dex........the last 3 days Ive used it, it has tore my stomach up, almost to the point of puking......may just use the "piece of bread and jelly" idea, but was curiouos on how much is enough of a sugar source shoud I intake to max. the absorbtion?????

Any other sugar sources you guys use other than a powder?

You dont have to use dex... you could do the Bread Jelly route I B D uses that way...

You could use Waxy Maize.. Oats, fruits, MID-Low gi...

I personally go with a whole meal pwo pro/fat/carb

+1 for Waxy maize starch


Waxy Maize Starch is derived from natural corn starch and is a food grade modified starch. It is very bland in flavor and has a white fluffy like consistency. We recommend using a shaker or a blender (this is best) to mix this product. Immediate use is recommended as it has a tendency to clump. We have gone through great lengths testing and tweaking our Waxy Maize Starch to be palatable. We have found one that tastes fairly well and functionality wise it is top of the line.

So what’s so special with Waxy Maize in comparison to dextrose or maltodextrin? Many people have used a mix of dextrose and maltodextrin for post workout nutrition for years because it works and is vital for proper glycogen replenishment. Welcome to the new era of post workout nutrition… Waxy Maize Starch. WMS has a much higher molecular weight and a much lower osmolarity rate compared to dextrose or maltodextrin, so what does this mean… Mainly, WMS bypasses the stomach, is absorbed by the intestines and immediately is assimilated; this is all done at a much faster rate than dextrose or maltodextrin, almost double.
WMS can help the absorption rates of many of your favorite supplements like creatine monohydrate, creatine ethyl ester, cell volumization and nitric oxide type supplements, etc. Nutrients like this often times are left in the stomachs harsh acidic environment and degrade absorption rates. WMS helps shuttle these nutrients to bypass the stomach and allow the body to assimilate these nutrients at a much higher rate.

WMS has the ability to replenish the body’s glycogen stores much faster than a mix of maltodextrin or dextrose. This is accomplished again by WMS’s ability to bypass the stomach and go to the intestines for immediate absorption. WMS’s ability to shuttle all these nutrients and starch gives the body an immediate "pump" you can physically feel in your muscles post workout. You will see a much larger, fuller and rounder muscle belly.

Dextrose and maltodextrin can cause water retention and bloating, hence WMS’s popularity with pre contest and contest preparation carbohydrate replenishment. Many dieters choose WMS as their carb of choice as it is sugar free and an ideal source of a long chain complex carbohydrate.

We recommend starting with one 70 cc scoop post workout and see how your body responds.

40 grams dex, 40 grams malodex combined wit 2 scoops of whey

I use dex, but you may want to try powdering oats to use. Just throw a cup or two of oats in a blender until powdered, goes down much smoother that way. Also, I remember reading on a here a couple months ago that changing the size of the oats also changes the GI slightly, causing faster absorption.
