Question About Dextrose

[Chubbz]

My post-workout shake consists of 50g protein, 50g dextrose, 1 tbsp of flax seed oil. I am trying to BULK. Can anyone tell me what the hell dextrose does? pros and cons?

it scores a 100 on the glycemic index meaning it is the most simple carb available. Thus, it immediately is processed as blood sugar and elicits an insulin spike. Insulin is responsible for shuttling all those other goodies into your muscles. So the dextrose is like the car and its driving the people (proteins/fats) to their house (muscles)
