DirectSupplement's Dextrose Nutrition Information Email Response

Below is my email to DirectSupplement about their Dextrose nutrition information "mystery"

> I have been using the DEXTROSE made by Supplement Direct. On the
nutrition label, it claims to have 75g of Dextrose in 1/3 cup. I measured
it w/ a digital scale and no matter how much I try to pack into a 1/3 cup,
the MAXIMUM I get is about 50g, which is 33% less than your claim.

noticed this issue. Please check the following link..

==============================================
Below is the response from DirectSupplement

It could easily be a bit more than a 1/3 cup depending on the density of the
powder and moisture level. It varies from batch to batch, but in all cases
if you need to have exact amounts we would always recommend a digital scale.

Thanks

==============================================

I wasn't all that impressed by SD's response. It really seems to me that they don't really care that mch about their product and their customer. If a "batch to batch" variation will result in a 33% shift of nutrition content, I don't think they have a good product.

People, if you have a digital scale, take it out and measure a 1/3 cup and see what you get. It ain't gonna be 75g. It is about 50g no matter how hard to "pack" the 1/3 cup.

Try 1/2c, I think that will get you close to 75g, thats what I've been using.

time to switch brands..........

we should all form a and consolidate a complain letter to Supplement Direct about this. This is rediculous.

I wrote about this myself a few months ago. The person who responded is an idiot. I called twice about this matter. It is basically an error.

It should be"

1/2 cup is 75 g
1/3 cup is 50 g
1/4 cup is 37.5g

Everything on the label is correct except that "3."

Strong Island's measurements are as accurate as you're going to get minus 5.

IN all honesty, I would switch brands until the issue is resolved......

Mr.X

Yeah, that's probably the best thing to do. Try Proteinfactory.com, at least they'll back their label claims.

Fuck, does anyone know exactly how many grams of carbs are in 1/2c of their dextrose???????????????

I already mixed up my PW shake for today. I used 1/3c dextrose thinking it was 75g carbs . Does anyone know how many more Tbs. dextrose I have to add to make it an even 1/2c?
