Dextrose is a type of sugar. Reglualr sugar is half dextrose, half fructose. Post workout I take Dextrose b/c it refills muscle glycogen. Fructose on the other hand refills liver glycogen before goign to the muscles. I take 50g dextrose w/ 50g whey post workout.

Dextrose is corn sugar. And Risky is right about muscle glycogen. I take 35g of dextrose & creatine right after a workout, then I wait 30min and take 50g of whey protein. This 30min pause allows your insulin to spike and absorb the whey into your muscles.
