Dextrose post workout

[Moderate_THIS]

here is the formula take your lbs divide with 2. than that number X 0.5
that is how much u need dextrose.
if u lifted heavy u will not get fat from dextrose cause it goes directly to your muscles

lol... why not just divide BW by 4?

You can get dextrose at any wine/beer kit store. It's like $1 a lb for the stuff...super cheap.

I use it in my post workout shakes. I'm sure it's good for you and everything, but I just like the taste. lol

From back at a time when dextrose was considered some sort of magic food. It's just sugar.

dextrose should be kept on hand if you are using insulin.. but like nelson said silly that anyone would use it other then that .. eat a banana or apple instead

It will not hurt you and will only benefit you. Post workout your glycogen and amino acid levels are depleted. You want to replenish them as fast as possible with an easy digesting protein source and carbohydrate source.

I personally like the carbohydrate powder waxy maize much more then dextrose. Waxy maize has a high molecular weight which causes a 'shuttling effect' in the body. It will help shuttle the amino acids from the protein source into your muscle cells after your workout. It is also sugar free.
