Dextrose question...

[kingcreed2000]

Today I purchased pure dextrose and the brand is NOW NATURAL FOODS. Has anyone had any experience with this brand? This is my first time adding pure dextrose to my post workout shake and according to my search, I should be taking 20 tsp of this brand to achieve the recommended 80g of dextrose (.8g per kg of bodyweight). That seems like an awful lot, but then again I have no experience with dextrose. Is this correct? Thanks for the insight.

80 grams is ALOT of sugar, but if you are bulking it shouldn't be a problem. Might want to reduce the amount if you are cutting though.

NOW is a good (and cheap) brand

what would be the recommended dose post workout if I am cutting? I weigh 217 lb. Thanks fellas.

I would venture to say about 50grams.

I agree with trying 50g then add/reduce the amount. I know guys who down 80-100g....I stay w/ 50g. It's just enough to get the spike I need but not overspill and get fat

Thanks for the advice fellas.

Well i'm having a hard time finding dextrose online, im also trying to buy some Creapure at the same time to save on shipping. DPS nutrition sells Maltodextrin, would that work the same?
