Lets talk about dextrose.

SKINSFAN · 07-28-2001, 09:20 AM

I started using this post workout only about a month ago I guess, but every now and then I read scary things like "diabetes" in the same sentence as dextrose, what gives?

Yeah, I know what you mean, I see the same thing with tylenol, asprin, Vit C, etc etc etc.

I'm not gonna worry about it. Guess you gotta make that choice for yourself.

I did some copy/paste for you!

Scientific Description:
Dextrose is derived from corn starch, (very similar to maltodextrin) and is used in several manufacturing applications for several reasons. It is produced by the enzyme conversion of corn starch and refined by ion-exchange demineralization. Dextrose is a fine white powder, hygroscopic and dissolves in water instantly (disappears).

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation Description:
Dextrose gained its popularity in the bodybuilding community for basically one reason, creatine monohydrate. Dextrose is the premiere ingredient in the so-called "Performance Creatine's". Why? Dextrose is equal to maltodextrin on the glycemic index having a score of 100. Which means that when you take dextrose at the same time with creatine its intake into the muscle is far greater than taking creatine alone. Dextrose or any high glycemic carb causes insulin levels to go up rapidly, thus bringing more creatine into the muscle cells. Bingo, high performance creatine.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

Dextrose won't give you diabetes.
