For the past few years I'd been trying to develop my upper body - not to get huge and beefy - all I was asking for was a little more muscle. My efforts were fruitless until I learned that, in addition to protein, simple carbs are also important post-workout. So I started taking this just over the past week and I can already feel and see the difference.
Energy Production Quick Energy Fuel Pure Carbohydrate Dietary Supplement No Artificial Sweeteners, No Aspartame, No Sucralose, No Acesulfame-K Informed Sport - We Test You Trust Steroid Tested Vegan Kosher Non GMO Project Verified Halal GMP Quality Assured Dextrose (also known as glucose) is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is the primary source of energy for the body. Dextrose is approximately 25% less sweet than pure or refined cane sugar, and is not associated with either fructose or lactose. It has a fine texture, mixes easily, and is moderately sweet - these traits make it extremely versatile. In addition, as a monosaccharide, dextrose is easily absorbed and utilized by the body; it has a high glycemic index (Gl) rating which indicates that it enters the bloodstream very quickly and is well-tolerated by most individuals with normal blood sugar responses. Dextrose stimulates the body to drive, not only glucose, but amino acids and other nutrients into cells. Dextrose thus makes energy readily available to working muscles and helps to maintain glycogen stores. In addition, dextrose also helps to make important nutrients, such as creatine and branched-chain aminos, available for use by muscle tissue. From an athletic performance perspective therefore, it can help fuel intense activity, maintain exercise endurance, and support recovery from exercise.

I'm just going to say this in a nutshell: This stuff gives you the energy you need while exercising. I'd almost fall asleep on my yoga mat before! Now I get through my whole exercise no problem. It also keeps you from losing muscle by keeping your body's glucose levels up. Great stuff, awesome price.
Instead of using this for energy before a workout, I take it after my workout together with whey protein. Works well for me
This product has helped reduce migraines ands helps me feel more clear headed.
I use this in place of table sugar for smoothies and other foods.
Fructose is processed in the liver and then turns into fat as well as being harmful to your heart. Sugar is a chemical combination of dextrose and fructose therefore it is not quite as bad as high fructose corn syrup which is found in most processed foods. Dextrose is not as sweet as sugar therefore you need to use about 50% more.
I enjoy being able to adjust the sweetness and control the caloric content of my pre/during/after workout protein shakes. I am extremely happy with your product. Not only does it do the job but in this quantity it will last a long time. I don't like commercially prepared protein shakes because they are too sweet and have too many calories per serving. In addition I received my order in just a few days after I placed it! You've got a customer for life1
its a great product... i mix it with my jarrow creatine monohydrate... great price!
Good Stuff!
It's a good deal. It's not hard to make dextrose. Just buy the cheapest by the pound. It won't go bad.
