The $0.81 post workout shake with creatine, YEAH BABY!

I don't know too much about maltodextrin, I know that they both have GI ratings of 100 (maltodextrin, dextrose aka=glucose) dextrose is simple and maltodextrin is complex. I suspect that both carbs stimulate insulin to the same degree yet dextrose will be utilized quicker, which in this rare case is desirable.

use dextrose post workout ONLY. maltodextrin is a much better choice if you are wanting to custom make your own MRP.

Surely something to think about.

how's that taste valdez? i was thinking of doing something similar with 70-80g dextrose, 30g hydro 520 whey and maybee an extra 10g of cfm whey from protein factory and 10g of creatine. have you ever tried the hydro whey from proteinfactory, will that kill the taste? what about adding ala or taurine will that help any?

 

[Valdez]

it tastes better than any mrp I've ever had. it is by far the best tasting supplement I've ever used.

the hydrolized (sp?) will kill the taste a little but it is a good idea.

forget ALA and taurine or anything else for that matter. ALA has never been proven to potentiate insulin, and it is really really expensive. the carbs and protein alone will conjure up all the insulin you'll need.

Is hydrolized whey better than say whey concentrate or isolate? Does it taste bad in comparison?

 

[biggun]

have you ever tried the hydro 520 from protein factory, how bad is it?

 

[Valdez]

it is foul! I just use WPC from protien factory, it's cheap and efficient. I am not overly concerned with using WPI or hydrolized, just seems unnecessary to me.

Bump this badboy to da top!! Valdez, YOU ROCK! I'm game!! Shit, it's bad enough spending a small fortune on supps let alone
the real stuff. Yee ha!!

It all depends, but isolate is probably the best no matter what the circumstances.

Sorry, forgot to mention that isolate is quite a bit more expensive so if your budget is tight then concentrate or hydrolysed is fine.
