glucose vs. dextrose

[ironballedmcguinty]

are they the same? I can get free glucose gel (the kind diabetics use) in an unlimited supply. Ive heard of runners using it when they want a quick burst of energy. Is this as good as dextrose/maltodextrin post workout?

Yeh, they're the same thing. That's a sweet deal (no pun intended haha).

Yeah, dextrose is glucose, but maltodextrin is not necessarily glucose.
