What is the best place to order my whey/dextrose online?

[fixationdarknes]

I currently buy my Whey at Walmart but I think online would be cheaper and better. And I don't think any local stores around here carry Dextrose, so I just wanted to know where you guys buy your whey and dextrose? What is the cheapest place to order it?

[Built]

I get dextrose and maltodextrin at a beer and wine making supply store.

Dextrose is sold as dextrose, but maltodextrin is often sold as "Brew Body" - kind of a thickener for beer.

[Shao-LiN]

Dextrose is also corn sugar I believe.

Built, I don't think my parents are going to take me to a beer/wine store. I'm Mormon, and we don't drink beer/wine and that stuff. Even though I wouldn't be buying beer there (only the dextrose), my parents just wouldn't take me there.

Do you know of any other place I could get dextrose?

LOL!

I didn't actually mean a beer and wine store, just the places that sell the supplies!

Sometimes grocery stores have them in one of the aisles. Superstore here in BC carries dextrose.

I can appreciate the awkward situation though!

[the doc]

yeah places that sell wine or beer making supplies will have cheap dextrose.

there is also bulknutrition.com or proteinfactory.com

Pruneman, I went to the dextrose link, and found that one dextrose serving has only 4g of sugar. How many servings of that should I use? Because 4g of sugar doesn't seem like much.

[Built]

I have a food scale, and I weighed out a quarter cup, level, at just about 40g for dextrose.

[fixationdarknes]

So, is it just power or something? And if I take 2 scoops of whey, that's 40g protein, and I should take 10 servings of dextrose (40g) and combine all that to make a super shake...and perhaps try what you're doing Built and take half before and half after?

[Built]

It is just powder. It looks like finely granulated sugar.

You'll have to decide how much you want to consume. I like 1:1 with protein, some like 1 protein:2 dextrose.

[Optimum08]

ya dextrose is nice cuz it adds a slightly sweeter taste to the shake...for the 1/4 cup of it i put in PWO it doesn't have the sweetening power of say, table sugar, which is good....46 g protein ~50 g dex and 5 g creatine in water for my PWO shake....some like built said like the 2:1 dex:protein ratio, i personally choose the 1:1 dex:protein...

[Optimum08]

o and 1fast400 is where i got my dex...great site to get any type of supplement and great prices too....

[ryuage]

1/4 cup - 38g carbs.

No law stating you can only take 1 serving.

[fixationdarknes]

No law stating you can only take 1 serving.

I know; I was just asking how much sugar I should take. It looks like the others have answered the question though.

Alright, I'm sort of confused on which of these whey proteins to get.

whey: http://proteinfactory.com/store/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=c32548ddc7d424f66dfa78e1f6b35c9e&keywords=whey

more whey: http://www.1fast400.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=whey&categories_id=&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=0&y=0

Which one out of those two lists is the best whey to order? I don't understand why there are so many to choose from. -_-

[ReelBigFish]

idk bro but check dpsnutrition.com before you make a decision, i have been on those sites and dps has been cheaper for what i've been looking for.

[malkore]

www.trueprotein.com also sells straight maltodextrin and dextrose. look for their 'carb blend'

Help anyone? Reel and Malkore, I checked out the sites but again I don't know which one to get. -_- Does it really matter? Should I just get the cheapest one?

[ReelBigFish]

Well i wouldn't just get it cause its the cheapest because it may be cheap quality. Go with Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey, they are affordable and good quality and have many flavors.

[malkore]

trueprotein.com is top quality protein. they just don't spend millions marketing it, so they don't have to charge $10 a pound for plain whey. I've heard lots of good stuff about ON brand also, but have never tried it.

Ever been to a grocery store with different brands of the same product?

[CarlP]

Just pick one and try it out. The differences are most likely miniscule. To quote Mr. Stagg: Squats work better than supplements.

[hoser813]

ive seen 50 lb sacks of whey on ebay for about $100, no flavorings or perservatives though. I was thinking of buying a sack and spliting it with some friends.

[PYRO]

I think you should stick with unflavored protein. it's much cheaper.. i am still undecided which to try supplementdirect or trueprotein...The latter looks better (nutritional facts) but never ordered there before.
maybe someone can add any feedback...
