alternative for dextrose

[aky]

what do you guys use as a simple carb for post workout shakes? I ran out of dextrose... is there anything else i can use?

also, is corn sugar available at the grocery store, the same as dextrose?

thanks

grape juice is excellent to use...it is one of the highest glycemic sugars you can use. i always try to stay stocked on dextrose though...easy to get from proteinfactory.com.

Corn sugar is dextrose.
And I think you can get it a the grocery store.

Or you can get a really big ass bulk bag at a wine making store.

maltodextrin (sp?)

honey is best though. I hate honey

Dextrose is pretty cheap, www.supplementdirect.com has a good deal on it, 11lbs for $10. In the meantime I would say use some gatorade.
