    dextrose products?

    just wondering what companies make some cheap dextrose supplements? been using soda as my PWO sugar replacement along with cytogainer, but apparently most people feel soda is a poor sugar source, even for PWO. seems like my boy cutler let me down on that advice.

    anyway, heard that the dextrose is real cheap and is a great PWO carb source for a high GI to replenish depleted glycogen and glucose stores. so if anyone knows of some companies that make this stuff on it's own and for a good price, please let me know. thanks.

    alright, after some thread searching, i found my answer, and you guys suggestion now nutritions dextrose might want to hear about it as well...

    the cheapest kind of dextrose can be found at your local natural food store and is called "corn sugar", aka dextrose, aka glucose. buying it there is far cheaper than any "supplement" brand. found the info in a thread of pinnacle's by doing a search for dextrose. had some really good info, but i'm too tired to find it again and post a link. anyway, just thought i'd pass along the info and help you guys keep the supp companies from ripping you off. he said the stuff shouldn't cost more than $1-2 a lb max.
