Dextrose

Dextrose

100% pure dextrose powder, an excellent source of rapid-digesting carbohydrate, making a perfect addition to any post-workout or recovery formula.

Dextrose, also known as glucose, is a simple sugar that is commonly added to sports energy drinks. It’s an ideal carbohydrate source for post-workout periods, and our dextrose powder allows you to add it to your own favourite formula or DIY recovery blend.

Dextrose is a monosaccharide derived from corn starch. It’s chemically identical to glucose, meaning your body can skip the process of breaking it down from more complex sugars and absorb it far more rapidly. It’s typically used as an ingredient in post-workout and recovery formulas, mixed with protein, creatine and BCAAs.

*Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle. (The beneficial effect is obtained with the consumption of carbohydrates, from all sources, at a total intake of 4 g per kg body weight, at doses, within the first 4 hours and no later than 6 hours, following highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.)

Purpose

As a simple carbohydrate that’s ready for your body to absorb, our dextrose powder is suitable for use in pre-, intra- or post-workout formulas, depending on what your body and training regime requires. It works great in combination with protein in pre- and post-workout formulas to ensure you’re getting a balanced intake of protein and carbs. We sell it in this pure powder form for experienced athletes who want to create their own personal, DIY workout and recovery formulas.
