How Much Dextrose For Creatine?

[V-SHAPE 2]

I Have 1000grams of creatine, and wanted to buy dextrose from the proteinfactory...How much lbs of dextrose should I buy from protein factory if I wanted to take 100grams dextrose per day with creatine?

you do not want to take 100 grams of dextrose in one serving. that will cause a negative-sided insulin spike.

if you want to take 100 grams of simple sugars post workout take 50/50 dextrose and maltodextrin

CAN you please explain what a "neg-insulin spike" is?

 

[FitnessFrk]

to high of an intake of dextrose will cause an overload of insulin to be realeased which will cause fat storage...

a severly high insulin spike and glycogen response while cause GI upset based on the immediate amino and energy release into the blood stream and it will cause you to not absorb any of the nutrients from either the creatine (or any protein like whey) becasue the whey will pass through the digestive tract without GUT migration (it will not be around long enogh to supply any substantial nutritional support for muscle growth) and the creatine - due to the high GI upset and the activation of digestive fluids and stomach acid (which happens during GI upset) will result in a rasied pH level in the stomach which will cause a creatine to creatinine conversion - thereby negating any effects of the creatine - as it will be converted to creatinine by the pH shift and not be absorable or useable by the body (because it is no longer creatine - it is creatinine).
