Dextrose vs. Maltodextrin for post wokout

[Stiffler]

If you want dextrose, go to www.thepowerstore.com. They carry Now Foods Brand Dextrose for 1.59 per 2 lb bag. Shipping is only 4.95 for orders up to a 100 bucks regardless of weight. I picked up 40lbs of dextrose for 31 bucks with shipping.

holy shit!
so are u happy with the quality of that dextrose vs. other brands?

Yeah, I use dextrose solely for the uptake of my creatine both pre and post-workout. And for the price, you can't beat it.

 

[Stiffler]

shit they are out of stock, and they said they wont have any more until maybe next monday.

 

[Jacked Johnson]

Sorry bro, I must have cleaned them out. It is some good stuff though, I've used it for a couple years inplace of Phosphagen HP. I haven't been able to pack on forty pounds with it though like Kovacs did.

 

[Stiffler]

come on bro send me a few pounds...lol

the only real difference is that maltodextrine is better flavorwise if the protein powder or whatever you are mixing it with is already sweetened.

Maltodextrine is pretty flavorless (sorta reminds me of marshmellows) while dextrose is very sweet. If you are throwing in more than 6-70g of the stuff I'd definately recomend the maltodextrine. you can get it at any online home-brewing (beer) supply store dirt cheep.

Bros! Maltodextrin is a polysacharide. It is low glycemic! Use sucrose or glucose (dextrose) post-workout. It is one of the worst carb choices for post-workout.

If you guys want Maltodextrin goto your local home brew (beer) store. They use it for their beer! Its dirt cheap besides. -seitz-

"Bros! Maltodextrin is a polysacharide. It is low glycemic!"


no, that is the way they explained it in 7th grade intro science...it is more complex than that. Take for example the starch from rice cake, which has a GI of 100 while sucrose (table sugar) has a GI of 60. Maltodextrine is double binded dextrose but has the same GI of normal dextrose and glucose.
