I'd kinda like to hear an un-biased opinion of this too.

dextrose is a great high GI carb for an insulin spike
it should only be used post workout

it is not necessary, but definitely one of the best choices you have. gatorade and fruit juices, or honey are good postworkout but not as good a choice as dextrose, b/c dextrose has higher gi. on how much to take, i take 75 grams postworkout with 50 grams whey.

Also remember that sugar is half dextrose, half fructose. Your body can only handle so much fructose in one day before the rest gets stored as fat. You don't want all that table sugar.

Dextrose is the way to go

sounds good i will probably get some.. its easier then always having gatorade..

u just mix it with the protein?? does it alter taste??

when i am taking creatine i take 5 grams in gatorade as i workout.....could i take dextrose with my creatine during my workouts??? if so how much dextrose..

and say i was supplementing with creatine.. would i keep the amount of dextrose the same??

like 25 grams of dextrose in my workout with creatine..
25 grams postworkout in creatine
25 grams with whey???

as to a total of 75 grams just with my whey if i wasent using creatine???

1. yes it alters taste, it makes it a bit more sugary, doesnt make it taste any worse just sweeter.
2. yes you can take the dextrose during your workouts, 75 grams would be good but why not take it postworkout?
3. yes around 75 grams dextrsoe is fine with creatine
4. do not understand the question, u mean 25 grams during workout and 50 post w/ whey, that would be fine.
