Do you want an instant simple carbohydrate to add to your pre and or post workout shakes?

Dextrose is a glucose sugar refined from cornstarch, and is widely used as a sweetener. Dextrose is rapidly absorbed giving a fast source of energy. It is water-soluble and can be easily mixed with any pre and post workout drink. Dextrose is ideal for quick hydration or energy before and during a workout. Dextrose is a precursor for insulin production and helps transport vital nutrients into you system quickly, an ideal accompaniment to protein. This is why many top athletes use dextrose as a pre workout or energy drink.

IronScience Insider Information: When using dextrose it is advisable not to consume any form of fat, as fat will be stored, along with any other nutrients in the system at the time of ingestion, this is due to the increase in insulin within the body. Insulin acts as a transport mechanism for anything in the system at that time. So if fat is present this will be stored in the body, if it is not used as an energy source at that time.
