What is a good source of dextrose?

[sublime35]

if you're going for an insulin spike, then sure, eat up. Most people buy the malto and dextrose and use half of each. It'll certainly be cheaper to buy it in bulk instead of buying that much candy.

i don't use them but from what I've seen from others, a 50/50 mix of the amount of carbs you want PWO.

Little info on Dextrose: When Sucrose (Table Sugar) is broken down it is split into Dextrose and Fructose. Fructose is around 25% sweeter than sucrose and sucrose is around 25% sweeter than dextrose. Dextrose is the least expensive form of sugar. (think about this if you are getting ripped off)

I would definitely recommend buying the dextrose powder in bulk rather than the candy(you can find powder for less than a dollar a pound, compared to the candy which is like $.25 - $.75 per pack), I was just saying that in a pinch(like if you just ran out and you're waiting for a new order to come) you can have the sweet tarts. However, The candies probably digest slower than the straight powders would because of additives, but I'm just speculating
