there are better choices such as bulk glucose or dextrose IMO. u could also use that waxy maize shit but i never cared for it. plus i prefer to eat my high glycemic carbs for PWO.

yea, get your wife to sort of roll around ......oh, sorry, proviron just kicked in, so ah, whatever 8and20 said....and i will go back to, well, uhhhh, reading

It;s because I can find dextrose... where i live.... also how many grams of dextrose 50g post work out?

i use about 50-75g. probably a little on the high side but i rather have too much for this meal than too little. very important meal imo.

powdered sugar is cornstarch and sugar. nether are good for you.

 

[peligroso]

so if i dont have dextrose what else can i take

Post workout? 100% grape or 100% apple juice - packed full of natural sugars (dextrose) antioxidants and electrolytes, digest nice and quick and perform their needed function

Cream of rice also works well, 36g carbs per serving, no fats, 3g protein.

But to answer your true question, no, cornstarch or powder sugar are both benefit lacking

Not sure about grape juice, but apple juice mainly fructose, so not the best PWO.

White potato is best PWO if you want a high GI carb that is a natural food (diseree potatoes GI =102, although don't understand how anything could be >100)

what about a scoop of Powerade powder with my shake? When bottle Powerade claims to have no Sugar but in powder its full of it.

I usually use a scoop of gatorade, has dextrose in it.

 

[Sim882]

THe major sugar in gatorade and powerade is sucrose, although there is glucose also.

Since 1/2 of sucrose is fructose, this adds up to too much fructose IMO. Better of using straight dex

Darn, i'll find a better source then.
