Dextrose Vs. Maltodextrin
I have been using dextrose and whey for a while pre and post W/O. I bought some premixed creatine and it contain Maltodextrin in it. Which is better for you, and which one acts more a a delivery to your muscles post W/O. Ia m still going to continue to take dextrose and whey pre workout.
The creatine only contain 35g per serving so I think that I am going to add another 30g of dextrose and some whey on top of this. Opinions?Last edited by AJ_11; 12-10-2002 at 04:31 PM.

Their effects will be pretty much the same.
Only significant difference IMO is that dextrose is much sweeter.
...and about 1/2 the price of malto.Last edited by Blood&Iron; 12-10-2002 at 04:48 PM.
We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

malto doesn't seem to dissolve as well in water (prolly cuz its a long polymer)... and it tastes nasty too

Isn't dextrose slightly higher GI than malto?
-
even though its slightly higher. you alter the GI when you mix it with water anyway.
plus as most people have it after trianing, your level of dehydration will effect the GI as well.my exprience - joined gym 10 years ago, 6 1/2 years hard weight training exprience.
