Dextrose vs. Maltodextrin for post wokout

[Stiffler]

which one do u like better to mix with your protein shakes after your workout?

 

[Beezers]

I use 110g of maltodextrin. Gets to the blood fast and replenishes glycogen well.

 

[Stiffler]

yea thats what I have been using for a little while now and I like the affects of it but Im getting ready to order some more and was looking at dextrose too, but I think im going to just stick with what works for me.

where can you get maltodextrin at? and whats the recommended dosage?

 

[Stiffler]

I get mine at proteinfactory but there is other places cheaper. 50-100g are recommended.

I spoke to Alex at the protein factory. I was thinking of replacing the maltodextrin in my custom post workout powder with dextrose. He said they were virtually interchangeable, no reason to favor one over the other.

 

[Beezers]

I think they are basically interchangable. I'm almost possitive thier GI ratings are nearly the same. Both are very high GI so either way you get what you need for a post workout replenishment.

I was thinking about switching from Pfactory's maltodextrin to supplement directs 11lb jug of dextrose for $10, it sure beats the price of Pfactorys $2.49 per lb...

has anybody used this stuff before? good/bad?
thanks

If you want dextrose, go to www.thepowerstore.com. They carry Now Foods Brand Dextrose for 1.59 per 2 lb bag. Shipping is only 4.95 for orders up to a 100 bucks regardless of weight. I picked up 40lbs of dextrose for 31 bucks with shipping.
