which one would be most benifical if trying to cut?

maybe im missing something, you are comparing a simple sugar with an amino acid.

you might want to avoid the simple sugar by nature of its insulin spiking effect as well as contributing to calories that burn up rather quickly.

I agree..

glutamine helps me when cutting because i cut carbs and cals.

As someone already pointed out, its like comparing apples and oranges.

Maybe you meant if you could only afford one or the other. I would pick glutamine over dextrose if you could only pick one. Dextrose is pretty cheap though, 1USD a pound. When I was cutting, I was still taking some dextrose postworkout (since you want to spike your insulin), but just a reduced ammt of it. 15-30 grams.

im taking in around 24g of dextrose with my post workout shake ... is this advisable ? i am trying to reduce weight and cutting ... im drinking 2 servings of optimum 100% with 10g of glutamine post workout along with the dextrose ... any comments ?

I would say keep doing it.
I think that even if you are cutting it is wise do have good post-workout meal. I can cut everywhere calories but not post workout. At the end it is the overall calories that count during the day.

But hear other opinions.
