When you guys say DEXTROSE......???

[Seth Roberts]

sucrose

The glucose and fructose in sucrose are chemically bound to each other resulting in the sugar we know as table sugar. It has different properties than either fructose or glucose.

Go to a Bulk Barn, or a bulk foods type store that sells flower and candies and all that sorta stuff by bulk in plastic bags that you measure out yourself, and look for corn sugar.

Or also try here maybe...

So basically it taste just like straight out sugar then right? What the hell would you drink it with? That would be one hell of a sweet drink. I have used Carbo Force for my post workout-post insulin drink. It has 110g Carb, but you get tired of the same shit everyday.

isnt carbo force all dextrose?

Sucrose has a lower glycemic index (83) than dextrose or maltodextrin (both 100); this means it interacts differently with insulin. In a pre/post-workout application (which is what I assume you are using it for), higher GI carbs are preferred. Dextrose is more popular and mixes/tastes better, but either dextrose or maltodextrin will work. Some will argue that dextrose is also a simple carb compared to maltodextrin (and therefore is better), but they both elicit a similar insulin response. Actually, maltodextrin may edge out dextrose in terms of performance by a slim margin.

Good question, I've never read the bottle to see. I'll check it out. I just ordered a 11 lb bucket of Dextrose for $10. I don't want to mix it with my shake, what else could I drink it with?
