Glucose is the fuel that powers your muscles and major organs. You won’t find glucose in your local store, it’s in practically everything you eat. But, you can find dextrose, the pure form of glucose!

What is Dextrose?

Dextrose is the simplest of sugars, it comes from corn syrup and is very easy to digest. It will give you a virtually instant burst of energy.

Should I Take Dextrose when training?

You should consider taking it when you’re training and running out of energy, whilst undertaking endurance training, and as part of a post-workout supplement. Dextrose spikes insulin which increases the absorption rate of your whey protein shake.

Of course, it is a sugar which means calories and carbs, you’ll have to factor these into your diet plan. But the benefits are real, you should take it in moderation to aid with the above scenarios.
