Where can I buy dextrose?

[kronk]

Frack, where you live I have found nobody locally to get my dextrose at.

I order and buy all my dextrose at supplementdirect.com

Its cheap, perfectly measured and kicks ass.

Buy glucose tabs at any supermarket/drugstore in the diabetic section, near the blood sugar test kits, etc. THey sell some bulk tabs in big bottles and others in prepackaged blister packs that are good to keep in the car, gym bag, etc. in case needed unexpectedly.

THEY'RE THE SAME THING! See SofaGearge's post.

Sofa:

I have read on here that table sugar is approximately 1/2 fructose and 1/2 glucose/dextrose.

Of course the sweeteners in foods are usually high fructose, which is even worse.

PS I get my Dextrose from supplementdirect.com, as well as my whey. I couldn't find any local sources (supposedly craft brewing shops have it but the two I called only had maltodextrin and it was really expensive).

why the different names then? lol. i recall duchaine being adamant about going to the beer supply store and getting specifically glucose polymers or some shit like that.

You can find it where you can buy supplies for making your own beer/wine. Here in Kanaduh I get it at the Superstore. It's $5 ( ~$3usd) for a 5lb tub.

Yup

You lucky canadians. We 'mericans are stuck with supplementdirect (in the DC area anyway).

just to clarify things...isn't maltodextrin and dextrose of the same glycemic index number??? (104 or 105 glucosed based). Then why is dextrose better than maltodextrin?

O.K. Now I'm really confused??? I guess "Powerade" post-workout is BAD. Water, High fructoce corn syrup, and Maltodextrin are listed in that order. Please clear this up for me. Is just dextrose all that is needed?
