NOW Sports Nutrition, Dextrose Powder (Monosaccharide), Energy Production*, 10-Pound
Description
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 (GI) 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.
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. This product is sold by weight not volume. Brand Story By NOW
