Benefits

WHAT IS DEXTROSE? Dextrose is a simple sugar that is derived entirely from corn starch. It is about 20% less sweet than regular cane sugar, and is the main energy source in our body. Dextrose is found naturally in our body as this is a by-product of carbohydrates, proteins and fats that are digested. Dextrose also referred to as glucose, this simple sugar is the major fuel for cell function in the human body. It is the dextrorotatory isomer of glucose, meaning it is glucose in its active form.

WHAT IS THE GI (GLYCEMIC INDEX)? A similar carbohydrate to Maltodextrin, also a high GI carbohydrate meaning it will enter your system rapidly stimulating a fast insulin response which enables the transportation of muscle building nutrients to where they are needed. Glycemic index measures the rate in which carbohydrates enter the bloodstream. The higher on the glycemic index the carbohydrates are, the faster they are absorbed. UKHealthHouse Dextrose is very high GI & is absorbed extremely fast.

FEATURES OF DEXTROSE: Pure Dextrose is a perfect instant supply of energy and can be used at any time of the day, ideally post workout to enable restoration of depleted glycogen levels. Dextrose is used as a nutritional supplement for bodybuilders to help put on muscle mass. When used after a workout, dextrose will cause an insulin spike leading to increased blood flow into the muscles and better absorption of vital nutrients like protein and amino-acids.

HOW DOES DEXTROSE WORK? In the human body dextrose is the main energy source for living cells. It is absorbed & used by cells with the help of insulin. When the body has too much dextrose, it is either converted to fat or stored as glycogen. Glycogen can then be converted back into dextrose when dextrose levels are no longer high. Then dextrose is metabolized by the muscle tissue & turned into ATP, the direct energy source for muscles. Dextrose is particularly popular with bodybuilders, cyclists & tri athletes.

HOW AND WHEN TO USE? As a pre-exercise supplement we would recommend consuming approximately 30-60g of Dextrose. During exercise its use is optional, but if you are adding it to a beverage we would suggest a figure in the region of 30-60g, to be consumed gradually throughout your exercise period. As a post-exercise supplement, we would recommend immediately consuming approximately 30-60g of Dextrose. UKHealthHouse Dextrose Powder is 100% pure with nothing added or taken away.
