DEXTROSE - pure glucose for post training needs

Dextrose is finely powdered pure glucose which is a natural grain sugar substitute for cane sugar ( sucrose ). It can be added to cereals, fruit and fruit drinks for additional energy. Each gram of DEXTROSE packs 16 kj of energy. Generally DEXTROSE is an excellent supplementary source of energy and is recommended for all conditions where an additional source of carbohydrate is necessary. Due to it being such a great and healthier substitute for sugar and its superior energy providing effects its not hard to see why it is a great addition to your post workout shake. We all know that consuming a high dose of protein straight after a workout promotes muscle growth and recovery. Taking in a good source of carbohydrate in the form of a fast burning variety is equally as important. Not only does adding DEXTROSE to your post workout shake assist in the recovery process as well as replenishing glycogen stores it is instrumental in spiking insulin at a time where the body needs it most. There are two main times of the day where spiking insulin is necessary, in the morning on awakening and after a workout. Although the body is like a sponge when it comes to taking in nutrients after a workout DEXTROSE should only be used in the post workout meal/shake directlly after a workout. I personally take advantage of the window of opportunity and continue to take in quality protein as well as a slower burning form of carbohydrate for the 3 hours following a workout. When training for muscle mass i tend to take in a supershake immediately after a workout ( which also includes glutamine and DEXTROSE ) and follow this up with 2 more shakes 15 minutes apart without the DEXTROSE. This gives me a steady stream of muscle building protein and recovery boosting carbs for an hour directly after a workout. As the body is screaming out for nutrients at this time i am able to consume in excess of 1500 calories within the hour and i dont add any extra unwanted bodyfat. DEXTROSE is a great inclusion to your training and on top of its nutritional superiority it is also very inexpensive. I buy 1 kilo of DEXTROSE for just $3.56 from the home brew section at my local woolworths store. cheap as chips and so effective.

Give DEXTROSE a try and tell me what you think.
