NOW Sports Dextrose Powder for Energy Production*, 10-Pound

Dextrose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) also known as glucose, is the primary source of energy for the body. It is approximately 25% less sweet than pure or refined cane sugar and is not associated with either fructose or lactose. Dextrose has a fine texture, mixes easily, and is moderately sweet, making it extremely versatile. As a monosaccharide, dextrose is easily absorbed and utilized by the body, and it has a high glycemic index (GI) rating, indicating 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 also amino acids and other nutrients, into cells. This makes energy readily available to working muscles and helps to maintain glycogen stores. Additionally, dextrose helps to make important nutrients, such as creatine and branched-chain aminos, available for use by muscle tissue. From an athletic performance perspective, dextrose can help fuel intense activity, maintain exercise endurance, and support recovery from exercise.

Dextrose can be consumed before, during, and after the most intense training sessions. NOW Sports Dextrose is derived from non-GMO corn and manufactured under NOW's strict quality standards. Natural color variation may occur in this product, which is sold by weight, not volume.
