I'd like to buy dextrose locally, but haven't been able to find it. Does it sell under any brand names? I seem to remember someone saying that GNC carried it under a brand name, but I couldn't find it this afternoon. I'd rather not buy it online if I don't have to, so please don't waste your time suggesting it. I'd like to use the dextrose in the next day or two, so I need it asap. And, if I end up ordering it, I can find a place online on my own.

I did run in a liquor store today, and the guy didn't give me a funny look. He knew exactly what I was talking about. I remember galileo mentioned getting some there once, so I figured I'd give it a shot. This place just didn't carry it.

I get mine from the local supermarket, it's called 'Glucodin - pure glycose energy'

Other places that might have it could be,
- drugstore (the drugstores here have all kinds of crazy ****)
- health store
- walmart :D


edit. and yeah, glucose = dextrose. some schmucks don't know that.

I have Wal-Mart nearby...I'll check it out under some other assumed names.

Thanks, fellas...

You get it in home brew beer supply stores, not liquor stores.

Why not try buying it online. It'll probably be cheaper. (I didn't google it)

No offense, but never knew dextrose was that crucial.

lol I just noticed that it says GLUCODIN IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INJECTION in big letters on my dextrose. LMFAO :scratch: makes me wonder if some braniac of a sob tried to inject it.. bwhaha

LOL...

I wanted it to make some homebrew dextrose.maltodextrin kool-aid, for a clean refeed day to kick off my PSMF, but unless they have it at the beer-supply store, I'm screwed. I'll just have to spend a couple extra days prepping the diet, and eating like a horse.

Wal-mart did not have it...only some glucose pills.

Dextrose = Corn Sugar

Go to a brewing center and ask what the main ingrediant in making wine is. when they show you a cheap big bag of whiyte powder, buy it.

I went to a local Save On Foods today, picked up a 2.2kg bag of dextrose for $5 canadian. That really beats paying $10 for 0.5kg at popeye's
