dextrose=sugar. cheap as can be. go to GNC or online and get a huge kilo or more of creatine, then go online to get the dextrose. someone want to chime in on the best deal on dextrose? i get broken stuff like phoshpagen HP and cell tech for free that are full...so i never need to buy sugar or creatine. lol. but if i did, i'd by a huge ass tub of creatine that is dirt cheap now....as well as some sugar like dextrose that is available online many places. the amount of sugar you would want to use would depend on your diet. are you bulking? cutting? etc. but usually 35-75 grams is the ballpark figure for like 5-10 grams of creatine post w/o.
